I got the same call at work. A man with what sounded like a fake Indian voice knew my first and last name. When my co-worker paged me I quickly wanted to know who it was. He wanted to know how to spell my name and started to ask other questions. I didn't answer, but kept asking who this person was. He said he would tell me after I answer his questions. I hung up.
He called back and my boss tried to take a message to see who it was. He said he was an attorney, and I was in a lot of trouble. My manager finally got his so called name and number.
When I got home, I checked my voice mail and found a message from him as well.
I am wondering how he got my place of work and home number. This guy had the balls to tell my manager at work that police officers would come to work to arrest me if he didn't get me on the phone. I am thankful my boss was not fooled by this guy, It could have made my work situation very awkward. These "bottom feeder" scammers need to be stopped.

Same as most called and left the phone number that I had better call back and left this number.Sounded like he was saying he was calling for a lawyer and if I didn't call back well good luck to me.
I didnt answer just got the message on my voicemail (cell)left the exact message on my work number 6 times in one hour.Do they quit calling if they never speak to anyone?Do they quit if you tell them to leave you alone??
I have been receiving calls for the last 2 days from this number. He even called my parents' house. When i try to call the number it doesn't work. Anyway, the first was a message at on my voicemail at work threatening that i owe a payday loan that i defaulted on and if i did not pay $750 that the police would come to my house at a certain time and arrest me and my references that i listed. while i do have a payday loan, i contacted the company to see if this person was indeed representing them. they said it was illegal to use such tactics. when i asked the caller what company he represented, he gave me NBS and the website was debtcurevolution.com. well the numbers on the website were no good either. i wasn't sure where, how this individual obtained my information, but it scared me to the point that i was willing to make the payment. anyway, i am not sure how much information this person has, but i alerted my bank and my bank issued me another debit card and they automatically contact me for transactions that seem suspicious.
oh, yeah i almost forgot. the caller said his name was Gary Miller, with an Indian accent. it just so happens that in the state of Arkansas we have an attorney who has law firm by the name Gary Miller.
