I just rec'd a call from a man named Peter Black and his email is peterblack@laywer.com in St. Petersburg FL claiming that I took a loan over a year ago for $500 and that I would be put behind bars by the Frisco Police Department if I didn't pay today.  He also, had my last 4 of my social security and told me that they would investigate the matter once I paid the money.  I guess I'm going to have to take my chances on that.  Also, his phone number is 727-827-8214 which is probably a ghost number.  I asked for the company and he said "The State Investigation Department".  Really?  That's it?  I"m going to call the local BBB and police to file a complaint on these people. Oh, the funny part is, he told me to wait at my house on Friday and that the Police will be here to pick me up!  LMAO!!! I wish I would!!!!!!!  Oh, and he had a Indian Accent! LOL!

    I just recieved harassing text messages from a ROBIN SMITH telling me that I will have a bench warrant out tomorrow if I don't pay my loan back. I have never taken a loan out in my life, I just told him or her or whatever they are that they are harassing me and if it doesn't stop I will be contacting the proper authorities, and they haven't text back. So hopefully that scared them a little

    they try and try
    I got the same message from a Robin Smith, they use uppercase to try and make it look and sound pertinent. Funny thing is I have a loan, as most of us do, and i have NEVER been contacted like this (see how those uppercase work). Damn scams, what happened to working hard, and making a honest living? Karma is going to come down here herself and shows us whats up.. .so many con artists out there, trying to get a leg up… all you have to do is, you know.. actually work

      My replies to ed
      I got the same email today.  I know this is a scam and wish these people go to jail for harassing and scamming innocent citizens.  I did take out a loan online more than a year ago and paid it back but I guess your info goes into a stored database and multiple companies can pull your personal information and do what they want to get money from you.  I regret ever doing this because I have received several emails and phone calls to my home and job threatening my arrest if I didn't pay.  My advise, don't give them the satisfaction of responding back and don't ever take out a online payday loan because it will bite you in the ass later.  Don't worry, these people can't do anything to you.

    I got an email from a Adam Garcia(State Investigation Department) saying he received a arrest warrant against my name.He didnt even say why or explain anything in the email about why I had this warrant. The email just said to call him before i have trouble with my home or job.I know this is some kind of scam and Im tired of getting this kind of emails.The email  had a phone number on it (202) 751-2451 and said it was from United States District Court.

      I just received this notice in my spam folder from Adam Garcia with the same number as you  saying he just received an arrest warrant in my name for money laundry and I needed to contact him before I have trouble at my home or work. I know this is a scam because the wording wasn't even written right. Broken English if it was real then someone would have served me with a notice and not by email. It is a legal matter and there are procedures.
