A man with a very heavy accent was pushy and difficult to understand. He stated that his name was Agent Scott Parks from the Department of Financial Investigations and that were filing a case against me and suing me for a payday loan which I never had. He had all of my private information and called me at work threatening to sue me. I asked for his name and phone # and was given two different numbers. I said I would have my attorney contact him and he said I was being recorded and had better watch what I said and that if I did not take care of this debt and pay it, then they would see me in court. I stated that would be a very good idea and he kept on and I finally hung up on him. I would very much like to know where he got my information including my bank information, ssc, drivers license and address. If anyone has an idea how to stop the people please pass it on.
According to the information provided, it appears that these calls may be a scam. Here is a link to a December 2010 News Release by the FBI regarding its investigation of these activities: http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710.
FILE A REPORT OF YOUR COMPLAINT with:

DO NOT USE UNIVERSAL PAYDAY LOAN “APPLICATION LEAD SITES” ON THE INTERNET. And do not use search terms like "bad credit loans" or "payday loans" to find extensions of credit online. If consumers need to avail themselves of a payday loan product, they should first contact their state's credit regulator for a list of lenders licensed to make loans to consumers in that state. In Wisconsin, that is our Department. If a licensed lender has a website, then only use that website to apply; do not go through any type of lead application or “loan broker” site to apply for loans online. Some licensed lenders also have actual “brick-and-mortar” stores in their state. Use the store to avoid putting personal information online.

I received a call at work yesterday from a Office John Wilson with "Department of Financial Investigations. This guy stated that I had taken a loan out and did not pay and that he had a warrant for my arrest. I told him that before I spoke with him I needed some information. Below is the info I got out of him:
John Wilson
Badge # 150 NYE
Office Address: 25 Lee Count Place New Rochelle, NY 10801
Office NoL 646-462-4003 Fax No: 206-338-6145
After the man John gave me this information he wanted my information and I would not verify. He asked by why and I told him that there was no such legal department by the name he gave me. He told me he had papers for me but needed to verify me. I again told him that I would not be providing the requested info. I would be contacting the Texas Attorney General Office and the New AG's Office as well as the FBI. The caller became upset and started cussing me. I stopped him and told him I had not disrespected him and he needed to stop. He continued so I told him "Thank You for continuing to assault me verbally as I had been taping his whole conversation and it would be turned over to the State of Texas.
I have since filed complaints with all 3 agencies as well as the BBB.
If everyone that gets these calls make them give up infomation and then file complaints with facts they can be stopped. This same company contacted me before under a different name.
Caller: John Wilson Badge #: NYE 150
Rec'd call from 347-416-5175 -- Officer Scott Parks--English name but heavy Indian/Pakistan accent. He cant even say my name from the Federal Investiagation Unit. Claimed he has papers for my arrest--ended call "only God can help me on what will unfold" I just ignore his calls, never return his messages. He isnt worth the time or effort. I have reported him to local police, FTC, attorney general's office, FBI etc.
Caller: Officer Scott Parks
I was also contacted by this same person and informed him that I would be contacting my attorney and would have him take care of this problem. He threatened me with a case being filed. He called me at work also from 347-827-3814 and I asked for his name and # and he also gave me 347-827-3184 and 347-468-9552. Very pushy people.
