James Parker Law Firm / Kevin Peterson James, Joseph Daniels I received a call saying I owe money on a payday loan which i didn't apply for, and spoke to Kevin Peterson Los Angeles, Internet
17 February 2011 On Fri 2/11/11 I received a call from a guy named James. He stated that I owe money to a payday loan company from which i applied for over the internet. I stated this was not true, and i never received a loan. He asked me to send him a copy of my November 2010 bank statement to verify that it was not true. I said no that's my personal information. He then asked for my account number and last four digits of my social to verify, and i said no. He then stated have your attorney contact me. A couple of days later i received a call from 916-395-000 from a guy named Joseph Daniels. He stated there is a legal claim against my social security number, and to call 760-851-0932 for info. I called the number and supposedly spoke to Kevin Peterson. He said I am being charged with forgery, check fraud, and theft for a payday loan i did not pay back. All of these men had heavy far east indian accents. I told him i never received a payday loan via the internet. He stated you need an attorney, and hung up the phone. This is a total scam!!! Do not apply for a payday loan over the internet and give out your bank account information. It is a living hell!!!

I agree with Jim he is right do not pay them a dime. Do the death hex they believe in this . I did that to 1 of those SOBs a few years back and it worked that scum never called me again. I told this scammer that I was a real witch and I put the death hex on him. Then I told him to go F--- himself

These assholes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a “Loan” that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're “Officer”(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used “United Nations Law Division”, and “ACS Law division”, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only filthy thieves. Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, when they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
You can also have some fun with these thieves, tell them you've paid a VOODOO woman to put a death hex on them(They'e superstitous as hell)
