On 11/25/2010, I received a call from a man calling himself Mr. Austin and representing the Department of Law and investigation in regards to a lawsuit that was filed against me for failure to pay a payday loan. He went through a narative about how I was being charged banking fraud and that the person i listed on my application for a referance was to appear also. 


He continued to explain that costs would run into the thousands of dollars if i choose to appear before a judge and that he could offer me the opportunity to settle out of court if i choose. HE began to pressure me (on a holiday) to fax him a statement of when i could pay the outstanding debt along with my drivers license.


When i asked who the debt was through and who he represented, he would not sya anything other than the department of investigation. His foreign accent made me feel unesay and the fact he wanted my ID sent to him made me feel uneasy. When i asked him to send me written documentation, he kept persisting asking when i could pay the debt. I finaly hung up.


Finally i looked up laws regarding debt collecttion and found that he violated laws regarding how a debt collector can go about collecting funds and Mr. Austin's tactics displayed the likes for a fraudulant company.


Although i do have outstanding payday loan,I dont not believe that he was not recovering a debt but rather hacked my information from somewhere in order to get my money.

Its a scam

AUTHOR: Steph - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, November 29, 2010

This is a scam but why don't you have some fun with this fool.

If he calls again tell him a really bad hex has been put on him. Tell him if he continues to call the hex will get stronger and stronger . When it gets to it strongest he will die a horrible death.  Tell him the hex is real and it cannot be removed.

I did that to1 of those fools a few years back and it worked this will scare the sh-- out if him.  I also know they are sensitive to this .

Also tell him if he messes with your imformation  the hex will get stronger if he does mess with it

Your "Uneasy" feeling is dead accurate, It's a SCAM

AUTHOR: Jim - (U.S.A.)

These a**holes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.

Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?

Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.

They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)

You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only Slimy thieves.

Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.

This is another name, but the same scammers.

OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, When they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.

When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
