Recent Findings

We have found that a scam company, representing themselves as being from the "Oak View Law Firm", trying to collect on some Pay Day or Payroll advance pay loans. They are actually out of the United States and they just use a "Magic Jack" phone line connection where it is impossible to trace their calls.

We received several complaints from citizens and consumers who were being harressed with scam calls. Here are few examples:

N.B.:- Personal information are removed for maintaining privacy of the informer.

I live in Erving, MA. I have been receiving phone calls from numbers 484-361-4801, 951-489-0223 and 508-521-9942 stating that I am being sued by your law firm for a debt owed to US Cash Advance and cash Advance of America. I have no debt with either of those groups. I reported to the Erving Police what was going on. The chief called them and told them they were a debt collector with your firm. When I ask for an Attorney's name they hang up on me. I have put a fraud alert on my credit reports, contacted my bank & the District Attorney's Office in my area. I am not sure where to go from here.

Got calls today from :

4138498582391
8258922238911
909-259-0004

I know that two of those numbers have too many numbers but that is what came up on my caller ID

Said that he was from Oak View Law Firm and that I have several law suits against me.

Names that he used are:

Jim Anderson
Cliff Anderson

Got the same call several weeks ago

909-565-4286

Told me that I had 3 law suits pending against me and if I wanted to go away I would have to pay him $500.00, told him that I did not have $500.00 and he said that he would take $300.00. Told him that I would call him back and needless to say I did not.

Names that he used were:

Roni Cooper
Reilly

If you google the 909-565-4286 number you will have several people that have had the same experiences.

Over the last few days I have been contacted by someone named Michael Lawson claiming he represented your office and was contacting me as a party in a law suit.

He further threatened that should I not return his call I would be seized at my place of business or home by law enforcement agents.

This it very suspect as I recently filed bankruptcy and know the names of all my creditors and this company is not one of them.

I found your email address online at this site: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-508-521-9942, where it was suggested I inform you that these scammer continue to call people with information they have obtained from the internet.

Please let me know if I was misinformed.

Thank you!

They cannot email me or mail me any proof that I took out such a loan. They call me 10 times a day asking for my payment out of my debit account and threaten me with legal fees of up to $11,000.00 and jail time if I don’t pay up now.
