    All known addrwss information is likely bogus.

    Confirmation that similar complaints are tied to BBB listed numbers.

    Folsom address is likely phony.
    It's really the address of an engineering firm.

    LA address is actually the Metropolitan Courthouse, in LA, probably used to appear "legal".
    http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org/locations/ui/listbyname.aspx
    "Metropolitan Courthouse 1945 South Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007"


    San Bernardino address is Superior Court in San Bernardino, also probably used to appear "legal".

    I have also received many phone calls from these people with a strong accent under the number 530-776-5326 and today it showed up as an emergency number calling so I answered it. Figured out they were a scam, made a report with the FTC and my local police department.  Don't give them ANY information... they are not a legit company!!

    Also, when they call you, call them out... tell them you know they are a scam... they will stop calling... and if they don't report them every time they do.

    "today it showed up as an emergency number calling "

    They are spoofing caller id.  They can make it say anything they want.

    If they conned you into disclosing your checking account, debit, or credit card number, you can dispute fraudulent charges through your bank if you dispute within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the charges, under FRB Reg. E or FCBA.  

    Your bank can reverse the transfer if you dispute promptly, but you would also be well advised to close the account or block the card number to prevent additional fraud.

    These people started calling us to and threating my daughter and us. They have alot of our information that somehow they got online. How can I make sure they don't do anything with this? They could steal our identities as they have enough info about us. How cah I stop these people. They threatened to take us to court and sue us for 5  grand if we didn't pay. He said he was Bob Marley. That in itsef kind of threw me. They  are after my Husband and my family. My heart goes out to all of you because I know what your going through.

    They have called me several times also. Even threaten me, and cursed me. I told him that I was tracing his call and for him to keep talking and he hung up. Who are these people and how do you get rid of them.

    I received a voicemail from a woman with a VERY thick middle eastern accent named Nancy Smith (you would think they could come up with something more original) claiming to be an attorney with American Law Division; requesting a return call to 310-872-2860. In her voicemail she indicated that they were filing suit against me and would enforce restitution upon me. Little did they know I actually work the fraud department for an insurance company and deal with attorney's all day long. Ironically, they don't understand the concept of a counter-suit. I do not take kindly to threats, insults or harrassment. I would REALLY love to know who owns this company to file suit against him! Taking into consideration the fact that they are the ones committing fraud, I can't wait until they are all caught and prosecuted. However, more than likely this is an international company based out of India and they will undoubtedly avoid prosecution that way... Such a shame.

    Well guys, they've reached Virginia now as well.  I actually didn't receive the call first. My best friend did.  They called her to find out where I was.  I have moved in the last 3 months and changed my phone number.  They told her I was trying to use her information fraudulantly.  Which of course, prompted her to call me right away.  You can't even imagine what was going through her mind.  While she knows me well, and knows I would never do a thing like that, she was suspicious.  She called them back and they told her I owed money to someone and that was why they were calling.  Since I knew none of this was true, I called the number they left with her.  I was smart enough to block my number before I called them, but they answered the phone by saying "Hello".  I knew at that moment it was a scam.  I asked who they were calling on behalf of and with some hemming and hawwing, the guy finally said that it was for USA Payday Advance.  Never heard of em.  I have never had a payday loan so I knew this was all crap.  He said he had my ss # and I asked he to repeat it to me and he wouldn't.  He said he had my address and I asked him to repeat it.  He gave the old address I used to live at.  So I told him that was correct.  He then said the Sheriff would be by drop off my "court documents"  and I said ok.  But I did tell him that if he called my friends again, he was being recorded and that I had his telephone number and I would find him and sue his pants off.  I told him that contrary to what he believed, Americans are not as dumb as he thinks.  I could beat him at his own game.  He hung up.  Think he believed me?  Let's hope so.

    You need to contact the three major credit bureaus at once and let them know that you identities may have been compromised.  Also, contact your bank and change you passcodes and passwords.  Let them know the same thing.  Change all your passwords on you computer and try not to do any online banking or shopping for a little while.  Try to protect yourself before they can get anything out of you.  And under no circumstances, give them any personal information.  Change you phone number if you have to.  This is the only way they have to harrass you and they know it works.  And if you can get a copy of one of your credit reports, do so.  Go over it and make sure no accounts have been opened without your knowledge and no cards have obtained in your name that you don't know about.  If there are you will need to contact them and dispute all the charges.  Let them know that you did not open those accounts and they need to be closed immediately.  Good luck!

    I keep getting calls from them also using different telephone numbers.  Every caller has an accent and you can barely understand them.  I will never get a payday loan on the interent again.  Someone has to do something about these people.

    They are criminals from India or Pakistan, nothing more.

    They may be getting access to U.S. credit report or skip trace information, which allows them to contact relatives, employers, etc.  They may have old addresses, even SSN or DOB information, which they use to make the "debt" sound "legitimate".

    Calling third parties is a common tactic in such scams, along with making criminal accusations, since the goal is to panic people into paying before they check anything out.

    To all of the people posting this. My best advice is to change your phone numbers and tell all your friends and relatives that if they ever get these kinds of calls not to give any information out to them.. These persons purchase multiple numbers and only have them for about 30 days then they change phone numbers again. Next time, they tell you that their arresting you tell them well I guess you know where I live and work come arrest me. If they tell you that "you are being sue and have to go to court just tell them to send you the summons, since their is a process and they have your address." Sometimes, they will stop for about 5 or 6 months and do it again, so the best thing is change your number...

    BE CAREFUL..they have also used Dept of law of Investigation. so be careful...They will try and try but remember when someone is sue their is Court procedures and you will always get a summon in the mail. The best thing to say,"Well you have my address, send me the court summons that you say I have." If they tell you that they are arresting you, tell them"Well, you know where I work I'll be waiting."

    Change your personal phone number,closed your exisiting checking account and open a new one, if they call you at work and you can divert the call but still listen to your message, do it..." They will stop for a few months and continue so the best bet is play them....Good luck

    Yes, I receive a call from American Law Division OCCR Department. He said that his name was (Aaron Carter) a attorney for the company and had very unusual accent and didn't speak English well. He told me the exact things that all the other guys reported. He said that I owe a payday loan that i was not familiar with and if I didn't try to settle the debt today or make payment arrangement he would take me to court and I would have to pay 8000 dollar plus court cost and all attorney fees. So I didn't know what to believe so i paid the settle amount in full for the amount of $534.00 which he had deposit out of my account from a All American Services out of Las Vegas NV and never got a receipt for the settlement and now he's asking me to pay $500.00 more dollar for attorney charges before the case can be resolve. He even fax me a case resolvement letter with a court stamp logo which stated Seal of The Supreme Court of the United States a case referance no. and case resolvement id no. Can someone please check into this for me. He have been calling me from different number each time he calls me. I really don't know what to do or if this is for real now that i have read you guys report about the Scam from American Law Division

    The number are located in WA

    "He said that I owe a payday loan that i was not familiar with and if I didn't try to settle the debt today or make payment arrangement he would take me to court and I would have to pay 8000 dollar plus court cost and all attorney fees. "

    Typical con.  Make it sound high to panic the victim, then offer a "reasonable" settlement to "close", and get the money.


    "So I didn't know what to believe so i paid the settle amount in full for the amount of $534.00 "

    You were conned.


    "never got a receipt for the settlement "

    They seldom document anything, as it might be evidence against them.


    "now he's asking me to pay $500.00 more dollar for attorney charges before the case can be resolve."

    They are not "attorneys".  You were suckered once, so he might as well try again.  It's known as "reloading" in the scam business.  


    "He even fax me a case resolvement letter with a court stamp logo which stated Seal of The Supreme Court of the United States a case referance no. and case resolvement id no. "

    All phony BS.  

    The "Supreme Court of the United States" doesn't even deal with debt lawsuits, only appeals of constitutional issues regarding suits filed in lower courts.  He made it up, and faked the "letter", expecting that if you fell for the first con, you would fall for another one.


    "He have been calling me from different number each time he calls me."

    This type of scammer often keeps changing their numbers, probably calling via VoIP.


    "I really don't know what to do or if this is for real "

    It's all phony.  


    IMMEDIATELY contact your bank to dispute the charges as FRAUDULENT.

    Follow up with a fraud affidavit sent to your bank.  Your bank can reverse fraudulent charges disputed within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the disputed charges, under FRB Reg. E for checking account fraud (including debit card charges), or under FCBA for credit card charges.

    If you dispute within 60 days, this is your most likely way to recover your money!


    File a police complaint for fraud and theft.  These are criminal con artists, probably based overseas, and their pattern is well known to state and federal law enforcement.

    Contact the Nevada Attorney General, regarding the payment processor, All American Services supposedly out of Las Vegas NV, aiding and abetting a fraudulent scam.  Work with your bank to get whatever information can be obtained related to the payment.





    All I can find in NV is an air conditioning company.  Rather improbable, unless some merchant is laundering charges for others.

    This appears to better fit your information, showing up on a bank statement connected to a payment related to a fraudulent "payday loan" scam.  Note how the location is ambiguous.
