Message stated it was John Anderson....No description of where he was calling from who he was or who he worked for....He stated that I there is a Criminal Investigation against me. He stated that myself or retained attorney needs to return a call to 281-668-4319 ref case # ****** or a Arrest Warrant will be filed. Please note this call generated from Texas....I live in Illinois....and they cannot tell you that a Arrest Warrant is coming...This is a SCAM and you should not give them any information or satisfaction of calling you back.
This person has called my family repeatedly stating that they are looking for me to serve a felony warrant. (Calling from 1-281-668-4319) It definitely scared me and got my attention. They stated a family members name that I listed as a reference. However this family member would have NEVER been listed.
They stated I owed a debt, I requested they please mail or email me a letter of collection. The woman Priscilla Meir Scott refused and stated she couldn't and was about to lose her job if I called back. She wasn't supposed to call me and tell me a warrant was being issued and called me only as a "courtesy".
I was told they were calling from Milner Litigation in Houston. This company does NOT exist in Houston!! After some further digging I spoke with the attorney who's name this company is using...He is currently filing a complaint with the FCC. and the Texas Attorney General.
I contacted the San Antonio District Attorney's Office and the Office of the Texas Attorney General who stated this is a scam. Collection Agency's are performing illegal procedures when they state they are investigators, or issuing subpoena's or warrants. By LAW Collection Agencies are required to be "Bonded" in order to be considered a legitimate collection agency. You can do a search to find if the agency is in fact legitimate by doing a search. THEY ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PROVIDE YOU A LETTER OF DEBT COLLECTION.
THE BEST ADVICE I RECEIVED FROM THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL...."IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR DEBTS, PULL A CREDIT REPORT. FROM THE REPORT IF YOU HAVE COLLECTION ACTIVITY, IT WILL BE LISTED AND YOU CAN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE AGENCY LISTED ON THE REPORT!!!"
Here are some links to help you stay up to date on laws and policies to protect you.
