Received a call (heavy foreign accent with major background noise like a bus terminal) and I didn't answer. (It said BLOOMINGTON IL on the screen and I don't know anyone there). The message left on my answering was almost unintelligible, but what I did get was: "My name is Barry Jones [yeah, right] and it is important that you or your attorney of record return this call the very second you get it. Call 309-200-0536. If you and your attorney disregard this call and fail to return it immediately, you will be in deep legal trouble." This number had called earlier while I was out and did not leave a message. Did a little research on the web, and 309 is a legit area code for Illinois, BUT there is no 200 prefix, there are anywhere else I could find. I will not attempt to dial the number at all, since that can be monitored to give them further identifying data and do nothing but confirm that I got their message at all. So I came here to report it, and now I will go to my phone service provider and have this number blocked. Sure am getting tired of this nonsense -- I have entered over twenty numbers to be blocked so far this spring.. With all the laws and regulations in existence, isn't there something that covers this? Any legitimate lawyers reading this who care to share some sound advice? No pranks or scams, please!
I received a call saying that if we didn't call right away there would be serious consequences and that they were a law firm. When I called them they said we were being charged with fraud. I laughed and hung up. My husband called and they called him by name before he even gave them his name. He hung up on them. I called them again and asked what law firm they were and they told me Thompson and Livonson Legal Associates and I asked why are they not listed then and they hung up on me.

Received a call from this number, caller id stated it was Illinois and there was a very rude woman saying that I was going to be arrested at my place of business if I didn't pay back the loan owed.
I got a call from 309-200-0536 and was told if I didn't pay off my late loan ASAP, I would be served legal documents and at my work place. I asked them to sent me an email stating what I owed and said they don't send emails that I would only get a notice of payment once they received the money through a PayPal card. They were willing to take payment in 3 payments. They claimed to be a legal firm. I was nervous and didn't get the name, nothing like this has ever happened to me. They said I should have recieve an affidavit, which I hadn't. I asked them to send me a copy and was told it was too late, because the matter would be in court by the time I got it. I've had payday loans and they knew that, but when I asked them which loan they were talking about they couldn't give me that information and was told that USA loans have hundreds of lenders. Since I'm paying off a payday loan, I almost went for it. I was a reck and didn't want legal action and couldn't understand why this was happening and was ready to pay off the amount. I decided I would look into further, thank goodness. I spoke with a Paul Smith and a mr. cummings.
