Got a call this morning saying if I didn't pay for my payday lone by 1pm then then I was gonna go to jail the next day for 30 days. Please tell me you can't really be arrested for that?
Called my office for an employee. Stated that it was a legal emergency. Have tried telling them that we do not pass along personal messages. Caller insisted that it wasn't personal it was legal (which by the way is personal). Identified himself as being Brian Maxwell from Dunn Lawfirm. Caller spoke with a very heavy accent so I doublt that is his real name. I am sure all of you know that you cannot be arrested for debt and a true collection agency should not threaten you with things they cannot do. It is against the law per FCRA. You should report these scammers to FTC immediately before they scam too many people. Good luck ;)
My father received a call from this number saying that he was being arrested for fraud tomorrow morning but if he sent them $1000 then he wouldn't be arrested. they said it was either that or a 500,000 bail which of course he cannot afford. They also told him when he had the cash to call back...probably wanted a money gram or something. We called the number back asking for legal documentation of the "case" but they claimed to be unable to provide it. We then called a police and they called the number 309-807-4536 and he reassured us that my father cant be arrested. It is a scam.
I got a call from that number but my phone is off during work. They left a voicemail the lady had a strong accent so it was hard to unerstand her but she said it was a legal matter that i needed to call as soon as possible that its was a time problem and if she didnt hear from me that she wished me luck with what was going to happen. She called again and I answered her she said I owed over $800.00 from Cash America (this was around 4:30pm) she said if I didnt pay that money i would get arrested the next day for 30 days. I am young and never had that happen so I got scared, she said I had until 6:30 pm which is when they close to pay. I got so stressed I called the police to help me calm down. They said they cant arrest you for something like that and it didnt make sense to owe that much. My father told me to tell them I would call the cops if they didnt stop and she tried to say she would put a cop on the line (This was after 6:30pm when they supposedly close) I researched my dues and the charge was a fake. Thank you guys for posting your experiences with this number I can say I am not as stressed about this..
