TJF TJF Corp, DMS Marketing, Westbury Ventures, LTS Management, Bahamas Marketing Group Years after payday loans paid back, I am suddenly being contacted that there is a lawsuit being filed against me. Washington Internet
Several years ago, I was having financial issues. I went on line and did some payday loans. I kept all the information on the loans and paid everything back. (They were paid back 2 years ago) After I paid the companies back, they continued to withdraw money from my account, causing my account to overdraw. My bank told me the only way to stop that from occuring was to close the account, which I did.
Suddenly yesterday, I received 2 threatening phone calls from a guy named Daniel White. He claims to be the Chief Investigating Officer of some company (I could not make the name of the company out on EITHER voicemail). His messages said that a lawsuit was being filed against me for "Fraud and Criminal Activity". I called the number that was given to me and spoke to Daniel White. Mr. White tried to bully me into resolving this case instead of it going to court. When I asked Mr. White for information on the company, he told me "You did the loan, you should know who you took the money from". I told him my loan had been paid.
He told me to "Stop interrupting" - he would give me all the information. He never gave me information, just kept trying to bully me. I asked him to send me documentation showing all this, that I was not paying anything to anyone without documentation. He told me that they had sent me stuff, I chose to ignore it. He became beligerant with me. I finally just hung up on him.
Has anyone else had this type of issue recently and if so, what did you do?

Hello
the same thing has happend to me, I received a call from someone with an Indian accent and he informed me that he was an officer with the crimes investigation unit and that they are downloading an affidavit for my arrest..etc, so me like an idiot started to pay them back, they told me that the 200 dollar loan that i took out is now 800.00 due to fees and charges and that i was to make three seperate payments to them, well they got two payments from me, when something (God) told me to look them up and I did and the whole thing is a a FRAUD, ABC news even did a report on them, The whole thing is crazy, stay far away from these people!!! They are scam artists and crooks, while researching them via google I found and article that ABC news wrote on the scam and the West Virgina Attorney General ( i live in PA) in which they are trying to track them down and file a claim against them, they informed anyone who is being contacted by them to do the following things
1. Contact your local secret service and file a complaint and inform them that you are being harrased and a company is not only trying to exthort money from you, but are also calling and impersonate officers
2. File a complaint/flag with the FBI because what they are doing is illegal
3. Contact and file a complaint with the FCC
4. Contact and file a complaint the BBB
5. Contact your local police dept as well
6. Send a fax to the company and inform them that they are not to contact you via telephone anymore and to send everything in writing.
I hope this helps, the only number that i have for them is 904-201-3839 but Im sure that number will change soon.

Since you apparently do not know its illegal for Collections to make those kinds of threats - YOU MUST GO HERE www.budhibbs.com
READ DEALING WITH COLLECTORS 101 (you scroll down to it)
Most likely this is the ONGOING SCAM - FAKE DEBT COLLECTORS - ALL OVER THE NEWS AND COMPLAINT BOARDS - If you look - you find it.
they use bogus company names and pretend to be law -enforcement.
Hackers stole personal info from Payday loan websites and using the info to terrorize people into paying them money they do not owe. Those who fall for it - do so because they do not bother to do any research before hand.
Fake Debt Collectors Terrorizing Consumers

You all failed to mention whether the callers had accents or not.
IF THEY DID HAVE ACCENTS ITS A SCAM - the phone numbers mean nothing. If they are making calls from the computer - they can make it appear the call is coming from any number they choose.
To the rebuttals if you cannot find info on the business itself - that should tell you its a scam.

My wife has also received the same harrassing phone calls from the same person at the same phone number. Some other information is a Fax number 206-666-5827. They said the company name was Eagle Eye and Asscoiates. If you do a phone lookup on them it comes up in Seattle , Wa but we so far have not found any other info on them.

As a follow up to my original posting, when I arrived home last night, Daniel White the "Chief Investigating Officer" had called my house again and left another threatening voice mail for me. Is there anything I can do to get this man to stop harassing me?
