I keep getting calls so far about 15 of them, from a john oconner and a ray somebody saying they are from american legal services, stating the is a legal file against me and if i do not call them back and will preceed in getting me arrest. they won"t say what company i am supposed to owe. they say my attorney can contact them. but when i had him call, they hung up on him. so i research online. that this is a scam. is there any way to have them stop calling?
the number i am getting is [protected] or [protected] 0r916-395-5000. is anyone getting these numbers on there caller id.i don"t answers these call when they come in. but whoever leaves messages is very imitdating and scares the yeck of me. threating to file a lawsuit against me, if i don
yes get a tape recorder and the next time they call, answer the phone and let them know that you are now recording this conversation and if they continue to harrass you, you are filing a complaint with the police department, THE BBB and the FBI.
On 1/31/2011 at around 6pm, a man called me claiming his name was Officer Scott Mason calling for Money Cash Advance. He then called me names, cussed and threatened to arrest me the next day if I did not pay him $843.00 for a supposedly a $400 online loan he claims I applied for out online. He knew my social security number, address, full name, email address and last place of employment and said if I didn't pay him the company was going sue me and I would have to pay over $2000 in court charges. Then he had me write down his phone number to call him back which is [protected] and said I had to fax him something in writing stating that I authorize the debit in the amount of $843 from a prepaid card or credit card towards my outstanding amount and I ensure the payment won't get declined and I won't dispute this payment along with the date the money will be sent, the card information, exp date, CVV#, billing address, my signature, and attached photo id and to fax to [protected]. I have since contacted my local police department and filed a report with BBBonline, the FBI, consumer reports online, social security dept., and posted a message to every scam site I could find on the internet.
And since I have received at least 2 emails from individuals stating that the same thing or similar has happened to them. See below:

On 2/8/2011 same situation occurred:
Caller claims there is a lawsuit filed against my name and social security #, threatened to black list my social security and file court documents under my name and social security #. Said his name was Alex Scott, his phone number is [protected] but on my caller ID it shows [protected] Syracuse, New York. I immediately phoned the police for whom I previously filed a police report with and added to the report. In addition, I contacted the FTC as well and reported it too.
you need to file an harrassment report with your local police and keep records of any voice mail recordings to let police listen to them.
Ignoring it will not make them stop. Stand up for yourself . point out that you know it is a fraud and illegal and stand your ground. Anyone can say they are an officer but of what... the court, the law, thier own ego trip?
How is it that they have the phone #'s of friends and family to harrass? They keep calling and harrassing my "Contacts" that I supposedly gave them when I applied for a Pay day loan, but yet they can't tell me with what company or when? BULL#*&^! I have also called the BBB and my friend has saved 2 voicemails from them to give to the police. If they are leaving VM's SAVE THEM!
Is there any legal action we can take against this company. they have repeatedly called my place of employment. what they fail to realize is we knew immediately it was a scam because I was in an abusive relationship and have not had a checking account for over 4 years. So the dates they gave and the company they gave were all researched. The owner of the company I work for asked them not to call here again about 3 month ago and today they have called again, after being told not to call here then and again today they called three times. The # they gave me is not a working #, so of course I can not have an attorney call them which of course is my next course of action.
