Earlier today this (917)503-3158 had the sheriffs department call me saying that i need to contact a law firm with the number (917)503-3158 and ask to speak with somebody about why i have a warrant and when i called the guy chris answered and said that i need to send him $849.98 by today so i told him to give me a address so i can bring some money but not all of it but the funny part is he wouldnt give me a address or anything he said give him my bank information my credit card number or go to money gram and send the money so instantly i started thinking something was up so i hung up then he called me back and started yelling and demanding me to send the money but i didnt i jus started cursing him out really really bad and told him i have a lawyer that is going to take this into legal matters but i was really lying.once he hung up for the 2nd time i then called the sheriff's department and asked if they called me they said no some way some how these people are using their number to scam people out of alot of money and its a big scam this guy chris has been doing for some months now..

Debt is civil, not criminal, so there is absolutely no warrant.  Anyone who calls and exerts pressure to pay immediately over the phone, or to "make something go away" should be treated with extreme suspicion.  Oh, and law enforcement is not in the business of debt collection, so they wouldn't be calling you anyway.

BTW, this is a "VoIP - YMax Communications" number - in other words, a Magic Jack number!

This is a total scam.  Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you CANNOT be arrested for it.  Warrants are only issued by local judges to duly constituted law enforcement officers and are only served in hand by duly constituted officers of the law.  Debt collectors cannot get warrants.  Debt collectors have no influence on the criminal justice system in any event.  This is basically an extortion attempt.

Report them:

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money,  tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.  IF you can find them.
