These people called me and told me to send them money
Blah blah jail
Arrested
I called my attorney and he is going to put in a report
See if we cant do something about this
I got the same message today. I called them back and asked for proof and he hung up on me. He said that I was going to be arrested at my mailing address. I called him back and again asked for proof and told him that if he called me again I would have him brought up on harassment charges. Again he hung up on me!
I received a call from a so called attorney at this number who said I had a criminal record; had been passing fraudulent checks for five years, and they were suing me for $25,000. I hung up on him and blocked his number. He called back and left message that he was sending police out to my address and that by the next morning I would be behind bars. I am 69 yrs. old and it scared me to death.
Report the caller to the FTC, the FBI and your state's Attorney General. The man who is calling is NOT an attorney, he is a scammer. And attorneys do not get to "send police out" to peoples' homes.
He is also in violation of the FDCPA (Fair Debt Credit Practices Act) for his threats and impersonating an attorney. You may also want to put fraud alerts on your bank accounts and with the three credit agencies (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion) for your peace of mind.
If he calls again, let him know you are recording any and all calls (even if you're not) and that you've reported him to the authorities. You're not being sued either; if you were, you would receive a summons to court via certified mail or via a court process server. So try not to let him scare you. He's all bark and no bite.
