I got a call today and have received several calls. Today they said they were a firm called American Law Division. It would be in my best interest to return the call as there was legal action pending against me in the state courthouse. I do not plan to call the number back. I presume it is a scam. I love how these scam artists continue to get away with bothering people at work!

THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or your personal ID.

I recieved the same call from 281-982-2299 and they stated the same thing. This website is a life saver!! Every number that I've ever thought to be a scam was listed here!
Same thing as listed above but the indian man told me that the sheriff was going to come to my house and that I was in violation of my social security somehow. I have a feeling like it was a scam of some sort.
