I was called & severely harassed by the so-called LLC Law Firm in New York 646-873-6094 ! These East Indian people called today basicity yelling at me about a loan from Advance America, telling me that I am in trouble & will go to jail for fraud if I don't pay them $730 immediately!  The names of the people who i spoke to where, Nick Stevens, Paul Simmons & a John Waydam! They also told me that he hope I had already had an attorney ready to go! So of course I'm freaking out at that point so I told them I had to call them back & I called Advance America & told them everything that had happened & I was informed that my load had been sold to a collection company not affiliated with this LLC Law Firm & I'm not ganna be going to jail for not paying my loan (which I will be now lol) Anyways, I decided to call them back & act like I wanted to pay them to get more information to give to Advance America & they refused to give me the whole name of the Law office or even the name of the lawyer that was ganna take me to court! In closing, Advance America told me that there has been complaints like this going around lately! So please, if anything happens to you, investigate it first because a real law office has to give you that basic information!

Good Luck~ LInda

    I received a call on 3-5-12 from a guy named Mark Miller, at 11 am stating that I had taken out A pay day loan on the internet, in November 2011, he told me taht I needed to get an Attorney, cause they were gonna be taking me to court or I could resolve the matter with them over the phone he started screaming at me and yelling I could barely hear him so I told him to tell me my account number he would not, then asked me for my ss#  and I told him you should already have it so then he ask me about a family member, and my address, then he put another guy on the phone named Jack Dawson, so he was telling me that I was gonna be charged with acriminal case and would end up paying 5484.00 so I did report them and my attorney will be checking on this

    I do not owe anyone any money. Even my house is paid off.

    I have received two calls in the last week left on my answering machine. My number has been on the Do Not call list forever.  The message left by Weinberg, Grace and Associates only gave their name and phone number, no file number, no person they were looking for.  I called 855-856-2657,  (info left on my recorder) to tell them not to call here again. I was connected to a recording asking me to leave my name, file number (?) and my phone. I did not do this as it would have given them permission to continue calling me. I did report them to the Do Not Call Registry.

    Are these other complainants saying they did owe money to someone?

    Got a call on my answering machine from some phony representing Weinberg, Grace, and Associates LLC. Said to call him at 888-959-3802. The male person sounds believable, but the legal matters that are brought up are all fictitious. This is not the first time this phony company has called me about some make believe legal nonsense.

    on 05-15-12 at 1:26P.M, i recieved a phone call from a "LLC" number from VA, USA by a indian gentleman who started the conversation with his name, unknown still because i couldn't understand him, then with a speal about how i had taken out an advanced pay day loan in February 2009 and that i was being contacted because the matter is now a federal and i was being charged with fraud. He wouldn't give any infomation about the company that he worked for, he did wish to speak to my attorney, and he did say that i could pay $735.00 over the phone. When i asked what information he had on me, all he said was that he had my ss#, home and work address, and he listed two friends of mine. He then asked what my ss# and address was to verify if his information was correct, and i told him no because he wasnt giving me any real information and his information wasnt adding up. I will admit that in 2005 i did apply for a pay day loan, but it had been paid off in full months later. So the number for these people at (540) 322-4965, (630) 967-5000, (888) 403-2059, (800) 233-6808, (918) 442-9113 / 9103, (814) 348-2003. Sorry but i have been called by some many different number, but always the same 2-3 people.

    I am getting the calls from LLC law firm. (right) 516-986-5556. They said I got online payday loan from Payday Advance America and failed to pay it back. I never had pd loan from them. He said his name was Frank Foster. He had heavy accent. He made threats of arrest and I better get a lawyer. I told him I knew it was a scam and quit calling me. He said he would have my local police call me, then the phone rang with a local number, I ignored it, because it said it was coming from Japan. He got mad because I didn't answer his phony call and said the police were on their way to my home to arrest me, so I needed to stay there. I just so happened to be sitting in police lobby waiting to put in a harrassing complaint. The police called the number and talked to "Frank Foster" and told him to cease and desist. I am also going to file complaint with state District Attorney. He had also threatened to go to Social Security and take it for 7 years.

    I had the same issue with them today. They threatened to show up at my job and home with the U.S. Marshals and show up at my job and take me away in handcuffs. They said something about Human Resources being contacted and taking my pay check and how embarrassing it would be, LOL the company went out of business 4 years ago. The funny part is I haven't worked at the job in 5 years or lived at the address they had in 4 years. They kept telling me I have a court case tomorrow and if I don't reply within 20 minutes they will show up to serve me and have me arrested for bank fraud.

    They refused to give me ANY info on who I spoke with and all they would do is give me the number 888-403-2059. After reading this I reported them to the District Attorney's Office.

        They typically use VoIP, which is cheap, allows them to keep changing numbers frequently while showing up with US area codes, and even allows spoofing of caller id.

        The VoIP telecoms are what make these scams possible.

      Has anyone gotten a call from 1-866-575-3212 x 102 Patricia Baker?  These people have sent me letters or "proof" of what I owe, but since they are a law firm shouldn't they have special letterhead paper?  I mean with a company logo or something on it not just typewritten out?  I have been threatened with court under theft.  They claim I owe over $2,000.00 back from 2008, on an initial $600.00 loan.  I have contacted an attorney and he advised me to tell them that they will not receive a dime from me.  I have also written the FTC and since then I have not received any calls nor any court documents or been served with papers. It has been several months.  It just goes to prove that these people are fraudulent and are trying to take money from hard working people.  Do NOT believe anything that they say, instead ask for proof of what you owe, court documentation, etc,if they cannot provide that for you bid them good day and hang up.

      Today the same thing happend to me, a guy named Kevin Black called, how ever he did it he made the number on my cell phone show up as a local number, when I was talking to him he was rude and told be I had an attitude problem because I asked who the "loan" was from and when it took place, he just kept saying he was with a federal fraud department and I was going to go to jail. so I hung up and called my local PD and asked them about this, the lady at the PD called the number back and he actually told her she was going to be arested if she did'nt pay him. so at this point it was VERY laughable! a bout a hour later and 6 calls from them ( I did'nt answer) I got a voice mail that said "this is Mark White with _____ state police I'm a _____ state police officer and you will be in jail tomorrow just like I said you would be. So I called the state police and they came out to take a report, the officer wanted to see what this guy would say to him, so he called the number. and told the guy on the other end "kevin black" that he was my husband and he wanted to talk to "mark White " the police officer and Kevin black said he's not in this office he's a police officer I will forward it to him and he will call you back. the police officer talked to the kevin black guy and in the back ground you could hear other Heavy accented men saying the same thing about going to jail. the police officer ended the conversations with sir this is ________ with the ____ state police department, I'm forwarding this to the attorney general... the guy on the phone then told the police officer he would be arrested also!  

      As the officer and I had a good laugh, my cell phone rang and it showed up 911 so the officer answers it ( really are they that stupid 911 is a call center police DONT CALL YOU FROM IT!) he claimed to me Mark white with the state police and we could solve this problem if we give him a debit card over the phone. the officer tried to get as much info out of him as he could, before he lost it and yelled at the guy that he was the state police and that they had to stop calling me NOW!

      Needless to say they have'nt called back again today but the numbers they were calling me from are now no longer in service!

      These people called my dad and left a message saying they were the Dallas County District Attorney's office. He called me and told me. I thought it was real since the phone number was local to me (I live in Dallas and the number was 972-968-8782) and he lives in Ohio.

      The person's name they left with him was Christie Clark and left some case number. I called the place and asked to talk to this Christie and the lady was looking for my file. I gave her the file number and she couldn't find it. I gave her my name (both my married and maiden names) and they still couldn't find it. I just remembered they asked about my SSN. I realize I was dumb and gave it to them.

      Anyway, she claimed Emma Coggins was handling my account and she was still there. This Emma person threatened me with being charged with 2 felonies (she tried to tell me it could be 3 since they didn't have the correct address with the employer at the time) and I would be arrested tomorrow. She kept telling me she was really too busy and I was wasting her time. She said if I didn't pay them $1190.45 by tomorrow I would be arrested unless I agreed to make restitution.

      She said she had to run a criminal background check and would decide if restitution would be recommended to the judge or not. I have no criminal background at all, I would not have gotten my job if I had anything. When I mentioned a statute of limitations and she became irate and said that didn't matter in a fraud case.

      I was terrified and my son called my ex-husband and told him what was going on. He kept telling me to hang up the phone. After getting off the phone with Emma and agreeing to call before 1030 tomorrow morning to avoid being arrested I spoke to my ex-husband. He said the same thing happened to him about 14 months ago from an "Anthony". He borrowed the money from his mom and paid it back.

      I calmed down and called the company again. I began asking questions and managed to get an address, the company name and if this Emma was a attorney or not. He asked if I wanted the address to send mail and then asked for my name and when I refused to tell him he stated he needed to end the call because I was an anonymous person asking too many questions. I did a search for the company name which is Coggins and Powers and there is NOTHING. I did a reverse address and phone number search and nothing as well. I did look up the address on Google maps and it is an abandoned building in downtown Dallas.

      I might just call tomorrow to tell this Emma Coggins and her 20 years of experience to bring it on and arrest me. Thank goodness I had my ex telling me this was a way of Advance America trying to intimidate me to get money.
