I called this number a woman named Jennifer Lee answered I asked her about sending me information about the case she said she was going to put a warrant out for my arrest and hung up on me. I called her back and said did you just hang up on me she said yes and hung up again...it's a scam don't trust it.
Jennifer Lee from Fraud & Bad Check Division. I asked for the firm she represented. She said J P and Associates. I asked for the website address. I was put on hold. After about 5 minutes the line went dead. I called again and Jennifer said "please hold." After 10 minutes I hung up. I called again and received a voicemail. I said, "I expect a call back immediately regarding this matter or I will report it to the Attorney General's office." She called me right back stating that she received my message and I could go ahead and contact the Attorney General's office. She said she was issuing a warrant for my arrest and hung up. I called back and she yelled, "Don't call me again!" and hung up. I tried two more times calling and each time she picked up the phone and hung up without saying anything. I have copies of my credit report. I have outstanding debts that I am slowly working to pay off but NO bad checks. Who is this woman and how can I find out what she is charging me with since I have zero details?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:
is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.
Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

Contacted by Jennifer Lee from this number. Said she represented the firm of JP & Associates - the Fraud and Bad Check Division. She has called my cell and my work phone. When I questioned her about a website and other information, she put me on hold for 5 minutes and then the line went dead. I called back immediately and she told me to please hold. I held for 10 minutes and hung up. When I called the third time I got a voicemail and I told her to call me back immediately or I was going to report this call to the Attorney General's Office. I still had no idea what she was talking about because the moment she started talking I began questioning who she represented and wanted website and other information. She did call me back and said, "go ahead and report me to the Attorney General. I am issuing a warrant for your arrest." and hung up. I called back and she said, "Don't call me again." and hung up. I tried two more times to call and she would answer, say nothing and hang up. This has caused time loss at my job. Can I find out who she is? I would like to press charges for threatening me.
I live in MN. Over the last few days, I've received 4 calls from Jennifer Leigh (Lee) stating I owed money regarding a fraud. She asked to speak with my attorney or myself, only. I was not home at the time of the calls, so I did not speak with her directly. Here is the messages/info she left: This is Jennifer Leigh (Lee), regarding Case # PDL325. She was calling to collect on a theft/fraud charge, but never stated a dollar amount she was trying to collect. If she calls back again (after reading these listings on this site) I will tell her to notify us in writing & discontinue any further calls. DO NOT give this person any $$ ~ SCAM SCAM SCAM!!
