SCAM! FAKE phantom debt collection scam by madarchod criminals phoning from India. The Federal Trade Commission calls this a phantom debt collection scam where the scammer pretends to be a bank, often impersonating Chase, Credit One, Comenity, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Bank of America, Capital One, American Express, US Bank, PNC, Discover, SoFi, PayPal/Venmo, Zelle, ADT/Vivint (data breaches), fake "AR/HC" names (ARC, A&R, AR Recovery/Resources, ARM Solutions, ARstrat, HC Recovery, Rabinock Recovery), credit union, utility company, debt collector, credit agency, billing department, lawyer, or law enforcement, and threatens to sue or arrest you using lies, harassment, and intimidation to collect on fake debts that you do not owe. Debt collection scams are very common because many people carry debts, so it is easy for scammers to phish for gullible victims. And debt collection scams have vastly increased this year to prey upon the larger number of people in debt. The India scammer asks for you by your name to sound like a personal phone call to gain your trust, but they are auto-dialing everyone. The scammer may say "I am calling on a recorded line" just to sound official, but it is fake! The scammer either mentions an unpaid debt and past due amount that must be paid immediately or says that they have frozen your account due to fraudulent activity. The scammer then asks for your online banking login credentials, Social Security number and date of birth "for verification purposes", and says you can settle the debt by paying with a credit card, prepaid debit card, eBay gift card, or demands that you wire/ACH transfer payment, or asks for your bank account/routing number. Or the scammer pretends to offer a "50% settlement" deal where "you only have to pay half" of your fake debt. Many Indian fake debt collector scams also use these same thousands of phone numbers to run many other scams including offers of fake Medicare, health insurance, auto insurance and car warranties, pretend to offer personal/business/payday/VA/student loans, hardship loans, mortgage or home equity loan, debt relief, debt consolidation, and fake tax debt assistance, pretend to be fake fundraisers collecting for various charities but they keep all charity donations for themselves, and they impersonate Google, DirecTV or Comcast. About 72% of North America scam calls come from India, 19% from Philippines, 3% from China/Myanmar. Foreign scammers run thousands of fraud, extortion, money laundering scams every day such as posing as a fake pharmacy, fake Social Security officer saying your benefits are suspended, IRS officer collecting on fake unpaid back taxes, debt collector threatening you for fake unpaid bills, fake bank/financial/FedEx/UPS/DHL scams, posing as utility/phone/internet companies, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, student loan forgiveness, credit card and debt consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say an unauthorized purchase was made to your credit card, posing as Microsoft/Dell/HP/Apple to say your account has been hacked or they detected a virus on your computer, fake "we are refunding your money" or "your account has been auto-debited" scams, fake Google/Alexa listing scams, fake solar and home purchase offers, fake fundraisers asking for donations, fake phone surveys, and the scammers try to phish your financial and personal data. Indian scammers often rotate through fake tech support, fake auto-renewals/charges, fake pharmacy, many loan and tax/debt relief scams, and fake charity donation scams on the same day. Filipino scammers run many Social Security and Medicare identity theft, and auto/home/health/life insurance scams. Scammers use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack) and telecom software to spoof fake names and numbers on Caller ID. Scammers spoof thousands of fake 8xx toll-free numbers. CID is useless with scam calls unless the scam asks you to phone them back. CID area codes are never the origin of scam calls since scams use spoofed CID numbers from across the US/Canada, numbers belonging to unsuspecting people, invalid area codes, and fake foreign country CID numbers; e.g. fake women crying "help me" emergency scams spoof Mexico and Middle East CID numbers. Scammers often spoof the actual name and number of businesses such as banks to trick you into thinking the call is valid. How can you avoid being scammed by phone calls? NEVER trust any unsolicited caller who: sells something (most unsolicited calls are scams so your odds of saving money are very poor); asks for your Medicare or Social Security number; offers debt relief, loan services, Medicare assistance (people who are old or desperate in debt often fall for scams); offers a free gift/reward; threatens you with arrest/lawsuit; asks you to access a website, download a file, wire transfer money or buy prepaid debit/gift cards; claims your account is frozen or has suspicious activity; says a subscription is refunded or auto-renewed/auto-debited; and all recorded messages. Recordings are far more likely to be malicious scams and not just telemarketer spam. All unsolicited callers with foreign accents, usually Indian or Filipino, are mostly scams. No other countries are infested with phone room sweatshops filled with criminals. Most Filipino scammers speak better English than Indian scammers. Filipinos speak English with a subtle accent that may sound Hispanic. To hide their foreign origin, some India scammers use non-Indians in their phone room. Scams often falsely say that you previously contacted them or visited their website. Indian scammers play fake Amazon recordings. Amazon account updates are emailed, not robo-dialed. Many banks use automated fraud alert calls to confirm a suspicious purchase, but always call the number printed on your credit card to verify if the fraud alert is real or fake. Scammers impersonate phone/cable/internet companies, offering fake discounts or service upgrades. Indians impersonate the IRS and Social Security Administration. The IRS/SSA never make unsolicited calls and never threaten to arrest you; they initiate contact via postal mail. Real lawsuits are not phoned in, especially not using recorded threats lacking details; legal notices are mailed/couriered. The police, FBI, DEA never phone to threaten arrest; they show up in person with a warrant. Scammers try to gain your trust by saying your name when they call; your name, address, birthday are public data. Many scammers, especially female Filipinas, use "romance scam" tactics of sounding really friendly as if they are your best friend or lover to try to gain your affection and trust, hoping that you let your guard down so they can easily steal your identity and money. Scammers often play recordings speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech AI translation software to disguise the origin of their overseas phone room. Some speech synthesis sound robotic, but most AI speech sound very realistic. Scammers often use interactive voice response (IVR) AI/NLP software that combines voice recognition with artificial intelligence, speaks English with American voices, and responds based on your replies. IVR calls begin with: "This is fake_name, I am a fake_job_title on a recorded line, can you hear me okay?"; or "Hi, how are you doing today?"; or "Hello? Are you there?"; or "Hi, may I speak to your_name?" IVR quickly asks you a short question to elicit a yes/no reply so it hangs up if it encounters voicemail. One myth is that saying "yes" to IVR lets scammers use your voice sample for other scams. IVR understands basic replies and yes/no answers. To test for IVR, ask "Is the willy fuzzy box open?" since IVR cannot answer complex/odd questions. IVR usually transfers you to the scammer, but some scams entirely use IVR with the robot asking for your credit card or SSN. Phone/email scams share two common traits: the CID name/number and the "From:" header on emails are easily faked, and the intent of scam calls is malicious just as file attachments and website links on scam emails are harmful. Scams snowball for many victims. If your personal/financial data are stolen, either by being scammed, visiting a malicious website, or by a previous data breach of a business server that stores your data, then your data gets sold by scammers on the dark web who will see you as fresh meat and prey on you even more. This is why some receive 40+ scam calls everyday while others get only 0 to 2 calls per week. If you provide your personal data to a phone scammer, lured by 80%-discounted fake drugs or fake loan and debt services, you receive even more phone scams and identity theft can take years to repair. Scammers often shout profanity at you. Google "Hindi swear words" and memorize some favorites; call him "Rundi Ka Beta" (son of whore) or her "Rundi Key Betty" (daughter of whore). Scammers ignore the National Do-Not-Call Registry. Asking scammers to stop calling is useless. Scam recordings often tell you to press a keypad number to be placed on their Do-Not-Call list, opt out, or unsubscribe from their scam texts/emails, but their keypad commands are fake, just to sound more legit. Scammers often provide a callback number to appear legit, but they quickly shed old callback numbers so you can never reach the scammers once you have realized that you were scammed. Scammers tell you their callback number just to gain your trust long enough to steal your identity/money and then they frequently switch to new callback numbers. You do phone scammers a favor by quickly hanging up. YOU SHOULD SCAMBAIT ALL SCAMMERS - play along, slowly drag scammers on the call, provide fake personal/financial data (16 random digits starting with 4 for Visa, 5 for MasterCard), ask them to speak louder and repeat what they said, ask many questions that force them to go off script to drain their time and energy.

October 12, 2026

Called as Chase Bank, apparently has helpful information. Left a voicemail. I didn't call back.

June 25, 2026

Looked online apparently that number is also listed as scams

March 6, 2026

Claimed to be a banker from chase.

November 24, 2025

This is a known scam number. they claim to be from chase bank, but it's not a chase number.

November 7, 2025

Scammers

May 21, 2025

Call taker was Patrick Velacruz, from the Phillipines. I checked as to what his group does - and he couldn't provide anything apart from "online support" - so getting a cold call from an "online support" center isn't what I need since I don't have a problem online. the "interesting product" that the voicemail/caller said was provided by this group isn't something that Patrick Velacruz had available or any knowledge about. just general talk about how his group would assist people with stuff to do with banking online with chase. so I responded that I would call if I had a problem, and that their agent that made the first call should have said what it was about.. so I can have a proper talk with Patrick about the topic of the original call instead of General banking stuff.. that I can get online on the chase.com website.

April 3, 2025

Appears to be a legitimate call. However, I wouldn't recommend ever engaging with a person cold-calling claiming to be a banker, as so many of these calls are scams, and I hope JP Morgan moves their strategy away from this, for the benefit of their customers. Better safe than sorry!

September 16, 2024

This is a legitimate call. Last month I warned them after probably the 5th or 6th cold call that no more would be tolerated or I would withdraw all my assets and close the accounts. Well, two weeks ago Pooja Bhandari from Chase called me to try and sell me financial advisor services (they do that after your assets go over a certain amount). I told them they had been warned multiple times what we would do, and we did. We withdrew $580k in cash assets and made it quite clear with Chase why and who was the reason we were closing all our accounts. They won't be calling back.

August 13, 2024

Suspicious call from Chase Bank calling to discuss auto-save feature and then asking about my financial goals. I hung up before we got any further. Also received an email after the call. Very odd and not sure how they got all my info.

May 23, 2024

Fake. They are pretending to be reps for Chase Bank. They also send you an email coming from “@chase.com.” I told them I wasn’t comfortable giving my address so they did not ask for additional information from me.

May 10, 2024

Suspicious call from someone claiming to be rep from Chase bank and has information for me

May 9, 2024

Called informing me about policy changes regarding auto-save.

May 9, 2024

Scamming to get your bank information. Acting as a chase bank representative.

April 24, 2024

October 3, 2023

My personal banker

June 16, 2022

This number is confirmed to be a phishing scam claiming to be a, “virtual banker,” with Chase. They will also send an email which I recommend blocking. Chase has confirmed this as a scam.

June 14, 2022

Chase Bank

November 20, 2021

After doing research I found out this is a scam. Someone pretending to be from Chase Bank
