Have also been receiving for 3 months threatening phone calls from "Sean, Shaun, or Shawn JACKSON" at the same number (209-812-2254; physically assigned to area around Compton, CA). While live (not pre-recorded or a robocall), message is always the same: Officer S Jackson from the Bureau of Law and Investigation needs to discuss an important matter at once with me and/or my attorney. He does not identify what or where the Bureau is. He claims that he has all my personal data, including SSN, and if I do not return his call (thereby verifying my phone number) there will be very serious consequences for me, including being arrested next week. Given caller's thick accent, I doubt that his name is Jackson. With no information forthcoming from the caller, I blocked his number. Now he is harassing a colleague and threatening action unless the colleague provides my phone number. To protect ourselves, we have both filed reports with our states' attorneys general. I have also reported the threatening nature of the calls to and filed a do-not-call violation complaint with the FCC. This person is nasty and persistent,and if you get on his call list, you must take action to hide any information about yourself from the caller. I also suspect that he has obtained the information he is using to make his threatening calls in an illegal fashion.
Received a phone call from this telephone number. Caller described himself as an officer for the Department of Law and Investigation. Were looking for a former colleague who had apparently taken out a payday loan at one time. It appears the caller must have hacked into or somehow stolen legitimate business records of a payday loan company and were trying to strong-arm or bully people into paying them money under the threat of arrest or being sued. I beleive this is a scam. You should never give out any personal information, confirm any of your personal information or agree to wire or send anyone money that you do not know. If they are a legitimate debt collector, they should send your documentation to substantiate the debt they claim you owe upon your request. Tell the caller you want them to mail you documentation about this so-called debt they claim you owe. See the FTC's Facts on Debt Collection for more information:
