This guys name was "eric brown." Once again like other accounts I've heard they told me that I owed for a "payday loan." They said I was going to be served papers and I had to pay $5,487. I cancelled my debit card, and went to the cops and told them if this is true you can arrest me, if not I want to file a complaint. These's guys and girls are very convincing...DO NOT EVEN RETURN THE CALL if they leave a message. If anyone can track land lines or fax numbers there's is 315-849-3117 there phone number is 646-389-3613. If there are any cops or detectives out there PLEASE CATCH THESE PEOPLE!!!

    My mom got calls from these jerks today. They terrified her. Luckily (and yet unfortunately) she is currently working with a lawyer and looking at bankruptcy, so she called him before she sent these scammers her first payment. She had a PayDay loan some months ago, and as far as she knew all of the payments had gone through. These unconscionable cretins told her that one of the payments was put through only one time months ago and did not clear, and that they had sent an email and since she didn't respond she is now looking at $5,000, and a felony arrest tomorrow. She has enough financial troubles going on that she thought it possible this might have happened, and so she was scared. They read to her her address and last 4 digits of her social security number. At first they had her speaking with a Louis Wilson, and when she asked to be transferred to a supervisor a Ben Foster got on the phone. (We lived in the Philippines for a few years and she is pretty certain that these particular men were Filipino, not Indian). They had the gall to tell her that not only did she need to fax them a letter authorizing them to deduct $500 from her account, but that she needed to ADD IN AN APOLOGY TO THEM. How dare they?! I am livid!!!

    After her attorney told her not to talk to them, they called and left a message on her machine. This time Ben Foster called himself an ATTORNEY from DZA or DCA Law Firm, and said that if they didn't receive a fax with her letter authorizing them to deduct $500 by 5p.m., they would take legal action. Their number comes up as Unlisted, but the fax number that they gave is 315-849-3117, and "Ben" gave his "personal" callback number as 646-543-0291. After I heard the message, it reminded me of a news show I had seen some time ago that showed situations very similar to this, so I got online and started searching. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to post their stories!!!

    I am reporting them to our state's Attorney General, and the FBI's and FTC's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). I am repeating this story on every complaint site that came up when I searched for this fax number (the phone number must be new because it didn't come up). I am doing this so that whenever anyone else searches for these numbers, many of these sites will pop up and relieve their fears. Please do the same. Keep listing all of the new numbers that these subhumans keep changing, and let's keep protecting each other and raising enough noise until these dirt bags are shut down permanently! They are taking advantage of scared and vulnerable people who are already in difficult financial spots.

    Also, I am going to call Mr. "Ben Foster" now that it is 2:30a.m. New York time (if that's where he actually is) to see if we can have a nice lonnnnnng conversation about him threatening my mom. Good morning "Mr. Foster"...

    UPDATE: I took the call from them at 8 a.m. this morning and played into their game to get as much info as possible. They are reading from scripts, and if you ask them anything that goes off-script, they transfer you. I spoke to 3 people this morning: Louis Wilson, Heather Lawson and Ben Foster. In looking up Heather Lawson, I see complaints about this scam dating back to 2006!! Why can't we stop this?! This personal information should not be released when people apply for a payday loan.

    When I asked for an address, they gave me 42 Broadway 5th Floor NY, NY 10004, and said they are the DCA Law Firm - Department of Corporate Affairs. In actuality, there IS a DCA at this address, but it is the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs.

    When "Ben Foster" no longer felt like making up stories to answer my questions (such as "If this was in collections, why haven't I received a written notice within 5 days of initial contact, as per the law under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?"), he said they would go ahead and process my file and we could deal with it at the courthouse on Monday. I sweetly answered "Oh yes, let's go ahead and do that." He was a bit surprised and then asked for my attorney's info, so I said "Yes, he definitely wants to talk to you" and gave him the info. Then I told him that we were aware this is a scam, that I have already reported him to the FTC and FBI, and that all calls were being recorded. I told him to never ever call here again or he would be the one showing up at the courthouse. I hung up. No callback yet. I am sick to my stomach with what these people are doing to scared, financially-strapped people.

    I trained most of these low class phonies. I was a "compliance officer" for one of the biggest scammer collection agencies out there. It's all [***] guys. In 8 years with the company, we collected MILLIONS with these same tactics, scare the [***] out of people, get arrangements and rake in the dough. The one thing most of you are forgetting to mention is that you DID get a payday loan and DID default on it. That's how we get your info, from the payday loan store you dealt with. We don't just pull it out of the air and call you. So, there is a reason these scum hounds are on your ass. All you have to do is give them the name of an attorney and a phone number, they will never call you back, that's a standing order. Once someone says, 'I have an attorney" and provides a phone number for the attorney, the file gets sent to the "ATTY" folder and is off limits. These are the most ignorant, depraved, drug addled losers you will ever meet. They call thousands of people a day. Ben Foster is actually named Ben in real life, but he is a 2 time loser and a drug felon, one of the most ignorant people I have ever met in my life. Next time any of you have the pleasure of talking to him, ask him this, "Did you go to Bobby's funeral in Jacksonville? Too bad about him OD'ing, isn't it." You want this loser speechless, that will do it..lol

    Got a Unknown Name Unknown Number call from a Charles Xavier from a company he called Department of Corporate Affairs Law Office (DCA) from an address of Broadway 6th floor, New York City, NY 10004 with phone number of 718-841-6454 he stated that their is a federal legal action against me stated that I stole $300.00 from a federal pay day loan company in fact I didn’t do. He proceed to state that I laundry money and somebody will be at my resident tomorrow (Oct. 28, 2011) at 11 am to arrest me and served papers with their people. He also stated if I don’t go with them I will be shot and killed, along with threats to family members and friends. He then proceed of my name, address, social security, my place of work, even the name and numbers I have listed as references. I try to ask him questions of what is the name of company, the case number, and and ask why I didn’t receive no legal papers before this phone call. He stated to me “that this is not you business because I am going to serve the papers myself”, basically he doesn't have the answers and was getting mad because I am asking questions and he is ignoring my request. Before he hung up after getting mad he stated “that fine is now $5,541.32.”
    About a hour later he called my mother-in-law which I have use her name as a reference and threated her that she would go to jail along with me. When she called me she was crying and very, very scare. I told my mother-in-law that this a scam and don’t worried. I told her to call the State police. After talking with her. I called this person back and he proceed to tell me that he will see me in courthouse even if he to drag my fat ass in. Once again I asked which courthouse and again he wouldn’t tell me nothing, once again I have ask the same question as before but with response, except how rude and demanding he is trying. Then I asked to speak with someone else, it sound like he put the phone down and a few seconds later the same guy picked up the phone and he told me his name is Ryan Scott of Restitution Head. This gentlemen was of a India or middle east speaking. If this was an actual debit collector he would provide me information on it, in which he had not. He was only concern of putting me in jail he didn’t offer me anything else.
    I have notified my State Police about this, they stated that they can’t come and get you without file an arrest warrant with them and if they do come call them (State Police), plus I file a complaint to the my State Attorney General Office, Federal Trade Commission and the BBB . The same scam was done on me back in April or May of this year they mention the same thing the harassments, threats of killing me and arrest me. I have applied a year ago for a instant loan online but I didn’t go through with it, and it had all my personal information on it.
    I have found a law office of DCA Law Office, 42 Broadway 5th Floor, New York, NY 10004 with a phone number 646-652-0488 on the Better Business Bureau website, they have this business is not BBB Accredited with rate of a “F”. I don’t if the DCA Law Office on the BBB website is doing this or someone is using their business name and getting personal information form payday online loans.
    So I am waiting to see if someone from DCA will show tomorrow at 11 am.

    Same story as above. They looked up the phone number to a previous address I lived 5 years ago. However,I never used that address on any credit related items. They are leaving the same messages as previously posted with a call back of  1-888-261-4839 along with a reference number that was made up.

    True, the common factor between all of this may be initially from an unpaid payday loan of some sort. Why aren't folks posting the name of the loan company used so authorities can trace back the source of the initial company and whom they might have sold their list?

    I have received a call from LLC Law Office stating that I owed a payday loan with Impact Cash USA of which I never had a pay day loan with.  The caller first stated that her name was Gloria Williams on the voice message and now the name(same woman)changed to Karen.  She couldn't tell me the date of the loan but the amount was for $300 and with penalties was now $480 but would settle for $300?!!?  So I guess they are waiving their fee plus the court cost and working for nothing?  I was suppose to have been served a summons last week at my job and when I asked about it she stated that she was sick and out for the holiday and put a hold on it.  Then told me that I also had outstanding court cases and gave bogus docket numbers.  I have filed cases and know what numbers to look for.  Then had not only my married but maiden name of which I have not used in 13 years let alone for any loans!  Calls will come though as Not Available.  Well guess what?  Neither is my bank account to you clowns.

    They called me this AM asking for the person who had my phone number before I had it. When I told them I was NOT who they were looking for they became rude and threatened to see me in court. I want to file a complaint with the California Dept of Justice if I can find out exactly who these people are.

    Now to update you all I had gotten my number changed and get this they called me at my new number less than a week after changing it!  I don't know any creditors that go to these lengths to collect a so called $300 debt.  They are going to have to serve me.  Too much bs with the whole thing!  Said one too many times that if I don't hear from you by such and such a date you will be served.  So why haven't you?  Woman had the nerve to laugh at the end of the recording and saying 'Good Luck' if I don't call her back by next Tuesday.  I hope you do serve me so I can bop you a good one...
