Don't let them worry you. They're just scammers. "Scammer" is our polite way of saying that they're low-life, bottom feeding, lying thieves. Probably Indian. We deal with them all the time. They're just an annoyance. They're a lot like Jock-itch. Hard to get rid of, bothersome but completely a waste of time being concerned about. Keep an eye on your credit & your accounts though. The little deviants have been known to be sneaky.
They feel safe overseas as they sit in their foul call centers. Slowly but surely they're learning that they're not as safe as they once thought.
Be Safe. Be Aware.

I got a call from 206-317-3128. Mr.Daniel Carter said that he was from Federal department and there was a complain against me. I asked him what the complain was. He would not tell me. He said I would get arrest warrant. I told him good luck and hung up.
These people are really scam artist. American Brothers and Sisters, what you do when this number shows up on your phone please!!!! disregard this number. I got this fool to say that they are a scam company. Don't even answer when they call, because it's not worth it.
Keep getting calls from a Daniel Carter or detective Carter saying a complaint from officer Jay Clark and I needed to contact them asap or I was going to be in big trouble. now they are calling my job how do I get rid of this so they don't steal my identity
They are scammers - print out this page to give to your HR Dept or manager to show that you are being harassed by a scammer. Report the calls to the FTC, the FBI and your state's Attorney General.
When "Daniel Carter" calls back, tell him that the FBI is recording and monitoring all calls he makes to you at your work and home (and cell, if they're calling it too).
Call your financial institution(s) and at least one of the three credit agencies (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) and ask them to put fraud alerts on your accounts/credit files. You may also want to call your local Social Security office for further advice if you are worried they have your SSN.
Bottom line - a legitimate debt collector would have no problem mailing (not emailing or faxing) a debt validation letter to you proving you owe a debt to them. These scammers try to scare people into paying for non-existent debts, debts which have already been paid off or even debts that are outwith the statute of limitations for collection in your state.
Have been scammed before from these guys. Always say they're going to hall me to court, pay up now, so I don't answer any more. They don't leave messages, so I know it's a scam. Don't answer! Don't pay! Don't give any information to these folks! All scammers!
