Total scam. Being in ordinary civil debt is NOT a crime and you cannot be arrested for it. This is pretty close to outright extortion.
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually 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 ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
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. 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.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
Called back from my "special private number", got a woman who advises that the company is " Central Processing". She didn't volunteer or answer any other information and advised that I might have been called by an automated call system. Google advises that Central Processing in LA is a seafood wholesaler. I highly doubt that they are selling seafood over the phone via robocallers - lol. I'm blocking them from now on.
woman advises that this central processing????? another call says something about worthless checks and having an attorney, if not they would release to the county. i replied that i was blocking this number. i have no idea who these people are. spam???
Left a voice mail saying something about a check and wanting to know if I have attorney for processing otherwise it will go to the county as is!?? Thing is I have never had checks my entire life or a a bank account so this has to be a scam of some sort!
