This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
These two guys were so aggressive it was unbelievable! They said I owed $689.98 for a cash advance loan but couldn't give me the date of the loan or what company the loan was from. They said that if I didn't pay the loan off by the next day 11:00am the attorney general and local police would be at my place of employment to arrest me for fraud and I would spend 21 days in prison because my state wanted to make an example out of me! After I asked question after question he told me that he didn't care if I didn't pay it back and I would just go to jail. He absolutely refused to give me any information...not even the law firms telephone number....he said all of this would be provided after I made the payment in full. While I was on the phone with them, I Googled the law firm only to find there was no such law firm! And the company name the gave me of US Cash, is not a real company. They even said that no matter what loan company you borrow from (he then recited an entire list of payday loan companies) that all the money comes from US Cash! These people a vicious and cruel. I now understand how they are able to frighten the elderly into giving them money. Oh one more thing....they also asked if I had a credit card, or if I had ever taken out any kind of other loans that I defaulted on....my reply was...anything that I defaulted on or any judgements are public record, you should know these answers you shouldn't have to ask me! What they don't know is that I work for the government and they called me on a government phone and action will definitely be taken!
I'm definitely going to follow the steps given above by Alfalfa.
Missed a call from this number when i called it back they said someone was filing a lawsuit on me. Would give me any information, super aggressive and had personal sensitive information called me an n****r and that they dont speak to them but im white be aware of these callers
Caller left message to call him the very second I get the message. It concerned a debt that he claims I owe. Another call came from Tennessee and they said that they are from Baxter & Baxter Attorney Firm.
They pretend to be a lawfirm and ask for your social security when it's not given they get rude and say they'll mail your affidavits and you'll have to go before a judge. When I called them out on being a scam they started making sexual remarks and jokes about how rich they are from scamming people. Now they won't quit calling me.
