This guy calls me up who has a very obvious Indian accent named Adam Smith claims they are representing Cash Partners of America, a payday loan company and they had deposited $750 into my account AND that I had never paid it back, ignored them and they tried to withdraw the money back out of my account.  About 6 months ago I had applied for a a loan of this type, but changed my mind b/c of the terms...Since I was certain I had never had any money deposited into my account, I started asking questions like what's my account #, date of deposit, their company address, their company website.  He offered my bank's routing #, but that is the same for the entire state.  He asked if I'd like to settle out of court or he will be seeing me in my county courthouse in the AM the next day...knowing this is not possible for him to do I gladly offered up my attorney's number, he asked if it was civil or criminal since these are criminal charges...I told him criminal attorney & he is the best in the state...he put me on hold...when he came back on the line, I told him I looked them up and there were nothing but scam reports all over google about them...He hung up, ha !

    It's a criminal phone extortion racket, probably run from India.

    The "debts" are fake, regardless of what information they  may have on you.
    They may be getting consumer identity information through fake "payday loan" websites, or through pulling credit reports.
    They cannot carry out their threats.

    Contact the FBI.

    If they have your actual account number, contact your bank immediately to close and block the account to prevent fraudulent charges, otherwise watch your statements closely.

    There is no "debt".  There is no "lawsuit".  They are liars.  

    These are criminals, not even actual debt collectors, and they are safely across an ocean, so they ignore all laws.

    Many complaints report they call places of employment.  They are attempting to extort you, so embarassing you at work, and making threats no matter how illegal, act toward that goal, even though it is illegal for debt collectors to disclose debts to third parties.

    Report them to the FBI, and if they call again, tell them you have done so, and that you are recording the call as evidence.  They are looking for suckers.

    I received a call from a customer service rep who asked for me to hold the line to speak to an attorney. The "attorney" came on the line with a very thick accent worse than the original caller. I noticed on caller ID that the numbers they give are all from different area codes for completely different states. They said I had an outstanding loan that needed paid immediately or I would be charged with 3 different criminal offenses including theft by deception. They said I needed to get a prepaid card (I dont have credit or debit cards)and make 3 installmentsto be paid in a 2 week period. They also wanted me to fax them with authorization to charge the card and include a copy of my drivers license. They really had me concerned when they started talking about criminal offenses. PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!

    These people are about to send me through the roof!  I got 20 calls in a row from this number with the same result as the folks above.  When I asked for proof of this "lawsuit" the fool told me that information had been sent to my e-mail...yeah, that's almost how things are done in this country.
    They have called me at work and will not take no for an answer.  I will take the advice above and contact the FBI because this is the SECOND scam that has befallen me...did research on the first and this one so no further information has been shared with these people, but that doesn't help lower my blood pressure.
    Glad to know I'm not the only one that is having to deal with this.

    Please no one fall for this.  These guys will keep trying until you pay them.  We told them the person they are trying to reach died and they said oh well we will still see them in court, when we asked how that could be they hung up.  They are ignorant and I wish our government would try to do something to stop these people from doing this.  I have heard from other sites that they have bought this information for a small fee and are making loads of money off of people who they have scared into paying them.  They problem with that is once you pay them they continue to bother you for more.  We need to find a way to get these calls to stop to all of us.  Hang in there and please dont send any money ever!

    I just received a call on my cell. The number was 0000. They person had thick Middle Eastern Accent. He stated that he needed my attonery's info because I was to be in court on Monday. I told him I had no idea what he was speaking of. He responded with, "Oh my God! Let me get my manger." This guy placed me on hold and another guy with a middle Eastern accent got on the phone stating that Cash Partners of America had sued me. I asked him what for. He stated that I had to promise not to interupt him while he tells me. I told him that I would not make that type of promise. He then stated repeated some numbers and asked me if that was my social. I told him no. (It was actually one number off.) Then he stated my current address to me, he asked me did I live there and I told him no. You could clearly hear other people in the background with the same accent doing the exact same thing. I told him that I had no idea who the hell he was or Cash Partners of America and I believed that he was part of a scam. He hung up on me.

    I just received the same phone call and quoted VA State Law to them - didn't change a thing.  I told them I would see them in court Monday Morning if they could tell me the name and address of the court.  Of course, they could not.  I also asked them to tell me the name of the payday lender, the exact amount that was deposited into my account and the date it was deposited.  Of course, they did not have that information (probably because I have never had a payday loan!).  I told him I had filed a report with the FBI (which I have) and also asked them for their address - he would not give that info either.  This is the 2nd or 3rd call like this I have received and I am truly tired of getting them.  LOL I told them to put me on their do not call list!

    On Aug 4th I had received a call at my place of work (I was off). My boss gave me the message on Friday, so I called them back. The number being used was 646-918-8123. I spoke to a man going by the name of Jason Kennedy, with a heavy Indian accent. He said he worked for Dept of Corporate Affairs, 42 Broadway 5th Floor, New York 10004. He stated that I owed CPA (Cash Partners of America) $1097, but with court and attorney fees I owed $5484.87. I asked when this loan was given to me and he said either 2009 or 2010 (he was not sure). I then asked the supposed web site that I got this loan from and all he would give me was an IP address - 623.12.65.358 (don't know if it is real or not and don't really want to try it). I asked him why I had never heard about this before and he said that I had received an e mail, which of course I didn't. He said that if I did not decide to settle on that day, he was sending everything to court the next day. I told him to have fun doing that because I don't know of any court system in the US that is open on Saturday. He asked for my attorney's name and his license number. I explained that I don't know of anyone that knows their attorney's license number. He then wanted me to send him a copy of my bank statement, which I refused. I explained to him that I got a similar call about a year ago and had reported it to the local police (which happens to be a relative), the state police, the FBI, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), and the BBB. I then explained that I would have no problem doing this again if he ever called me again. He then said that I could be expecting papers to appear in court and I would more than likely be going to jail because I was being brought up on 3 counts of fraud, 1 count of theft, and some other one. I told him that was fine; it would be a nice vacation. He also said that he would be contacting my employer because a pay day loan is a loan against a person's pay check. I told him that he was too late because he had already spoke to my employer the day before when he called and she knew that he was just some low life scammer. I told him that if he was a real attorney, he would have all the information in front of him to answer all of my questions. He should know the actual company that I borrowed money from, the exact date, and the exact amount because no loan company like that will loan an odd amount like $1097. He then asked me if I was willing to settle this debt now and I responded with maybe after I talk to my attorney and he hung up. I am thinking of calling him back later just to mess with him some more. Everyone needs to just keep reporting this information and hopefully some day, we can get them shut down before anyone else gets scammed.

    I have been getting calls from this same company. Just like the rest of you, I asked for the date they supposly deposited in my account and for what amount. Of course they could not give it to me. They told me they represent pay day loan company that I borrowed from in 2009 and that I have failed to pay them back. The number they have left for me to return the call I never get anyone but a recording saying the number you have reached is not not available, that number is 646-397-8528. I feel like the rest that they are a scam and are trying to scare people out of sending money. I will be reporting them to the FBI.

    Do Not fall for this SCAM.  They will call you numerous times one after the other with threats. Listen just tell them that you have reported this number to your local police department, Attornal General office and the Nationl Task Force.  The will probably hang up once you say attorney general.

    I just received the same call this time from Paul Smith form 646-580-3624, also with an Indian accent. He claimed to be an attorney with LLC Law Firm New York. I was told that i have to be in court on 10-19-2011 for 3 counts of theft and my employer will be notified. I have to admit i was a little nervous at first until he stated that I took out a payday loan that hasn"t been paid back. Then reality set in, I don't do payday loans. I asked him when was the loan taken out, what was the amount given and whom did i receive it from. He couldn't give me the loan date, the amount was $1097 and I had to pay back $7512 for all fees and i would be arrested if the amount was surrendered in court, but I could make the payment of $1097 now through western union. He said that he was a third party Attorney for (Cash Partners of America). I contacted my local FBI department and reported them. So pass it on this is a SCAM!!!I repeat this is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!
