I just got a call at work from an indian sounding man named James Anderson. Because I had to go into a meeting I took his number to call him back. However, when I called the (same) voice was not aware of any James Anderson. He used my job number to pull up my file to access the complaint. He then threatened me with jail time but offered an out of court settlement. He did not want to give me an email address of phone number for his company but I was able to get the name of the company - Click Payment Services. They are apparently based in California. He says the his supervisor can help me make payment arrangements. His supervisor (same voice returned after brief hold) and identified himself as Ronald Baker and offered me a settlement. These people are crazy. He claims I visited a payday cash loan site and received a loan in February 2011. When I said that my bank statements do not reflect such a loan he claims that maybe it was some other time. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!!!!

    This is a common scam.

    Many times it is run from overseas, and the callers are often reported to have thick Indian accents.

    They fake "debts", using information obtained from fake "payday loan" websites, or possibly consumer credit reports.

    They often attempt to threaten people through calls to employers.

    This is a phone extortion racket.
    There are no "debts".
    They can do nothing to you but harass you.

    Report to the FBI.

    I just got the exact same call but my indian friend was named Jason Connor. He initially said I owed $950 dollars and he was going to have me drug into court if I didn't pay it. He then quickly settled for $400 if I could pay it NOW!! I got as much information from him as possible and then researched them. Wow!! Very bold people. They called me from an 818 and a 951 area code. Both from California.

    Yes I have received several of these calls and now they are threatening to report my mother to the local authority office for stealing.  I asked for the information regarding when the pay day loan was done.  They said that they do not have a specific date or the name of the company that approved the payday loan.  They stated that once I paid the amount off that they would send me a copy of the contract and all the information.  I have gone back to my bank and there is nothing showing.  When the people call they have Indian accents but they have American names.  When they say they are putting youn hold, they just push a button and then the same guy gets on the phone with a different name.  I do not know what to do about this whole situation.  Do I pay it or not.  I can not have my mother go to jail for something that she never  did.  Than on top of it, they managed to get the last four of the account number, which that account is now closed due to fraudulant charges.  The initial amount that they said was owed is 529.28 and then they said they would settle for 300.00.

    They are just criminals in India running a phone extortion racket.
    They don't have any information because there is no "payday loan".


    They are getting information from fake on-line "payday loan" sites, when consumers enter their information on a fake "application".  They may also have access to old payday loan data, or they might be pulling credit reports and obtaining SSN or old account information from that source.

    It's a "con", nothing more.
    No one owes them anything.
    They can't do anything but threaten on the phone.

    File complaints with the FBI.

    I JUST got a call from an Indian man named Shane Blake, yeah right.  He says OH MY GOD you're going to get dragged to the court house and you need and attorney to get you out. Do you have an attorney.  Says I owe a total of $8900 but would settle for $898.96 if I send an "apology letter" to his client with my credit card number, CCV code, a copy of my social security card and mailing address.  Are you kidding me??  REALLY?

    I just received a call like this at my place of employment today. As I was busy, a message was taken and he got rude with the one who took the message. When I had a chance to call back, my "friend", Mr. Montero, told me that there was a case against me and that my attorney should have the affidavit. He then proceeds to tell that if this matter is not resolved, I would not be able to renew my driver's license, I would lose my job, and there would be a warrant for my arrest. He informs me that I owe a payday loan company $1260 and if I wished to settle the matter without further difficulty, I needed to send the money TODAY. So I trot on down to my local banker and tell him what was going on and could he help me. He helps me by acting as my lawyer and is able to get a settlement payment of $387. Then he gave me the loan to pay it off. I call him back to let him know I will be able to make the payment as soon as i deposit it to my Visa card. He tells me to call back with the information when I am near a fax. He took all my information and then tells me to send him a payment authorization letter which he quoted to me as how to write it.So I put the money on a prepaid Visa card and called him back from my dear banker's office. As soon as I wrote the words "click payment service", my banker motioned to me that he had found this website. I told him I needed to get my I.D. that he wanted me to send a copy of and hung up. My banker advised me not to send him a dime and to go to my local police department. Now I'm wondering how to get him to stop calling.
