...so, this guy calls me and says I have to resolve a problem with a case number #202117177423, or else I'll be arrested at work and that I need to give him my SSN now. You kidding me? Don't fall for this scam.
I got a call from 202 697 4457 saying they had Two accusations against me and that they were going to come and get me from my home or work unless I dealt with it with the plaintiff
Total scam. Ignore. Block the calls. Sounds like a debt scamming operation. They ID themselves as "Pretrial Services" which is debt scammer double-talk, for debt collector. If you were the subject of a criminal investigation, you'd hear about it form law enforcement, not from some scummy debt collector. This is just an attempt to scare you into paying them something. Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. 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.
Received a call today about an accusation on me. Stating that I would have to call back today to get this resolved. No name of company, just a call back number with a reference number of 104813.
I received a phone call and they left a voice mail recording regarding a debt with a reference number. I called the number back and it was someone with a identifiable African American sounding voice and he identified himself as (something) (i think john or sam) Wilson. He simply said "this is so and so Wilson" and didn't answer with any greeting that sounded like they belonged to a company, no phone etiquette that a professional company would be sure to answer with. I have a good credit report and by the way he answered the phone I knew it was a scam. I hung up. All searches on this has shown he's making a lot of phone calls like this the last couple of days. BE WARE.
I received a phone call from 2026974457 and they left a message saying that I needed to resolve this with the Plaintiff before they come after me. I work for the DA so I KNOW this is a scam!!!!!! I am going to call them back just to mess with them. There is nothing these jerkwads can do anyway. So many people get scared into paying. I know of a lady who paid 1300.00 to one of these companies. She has borrowed from a payday loan company and when she decided to call and talk to the payday loan company that she thought she was paying back, they never received a dime of the money she had paid!!!!! These guys are thieves!!!!!
