i just got the same call today and told the same story i have heard over the last year or so.
lets put these people out and report them to the police.....
do not call back they are just trying to collect money from you
I received a call from a friend today stating that a friend of his was receiving the very same call from Baxter Cruz threatening to put her in jail over a debt that she doesn't even own. He had her upset to say the least because she didn't know what was happening. I am a Paralegal and have been through this very same thing myself. You can imagine the fun I had with my perp. they were the ones who didn't know what was happening. When I started slapping them back with the law and what they were not going to do and why they were dumb-founded. The important thing for everyone to remember is that there are no Debtor's Prisons and it is against the Federal Fair Debt Collection Laws for anyone to threaten to put you in jail, arrest you or take you to court over a debt. You could sue them faster than they could say court. So, my suggestion is after you tell them what you will do to them if they don't leave you alone, pick up the receiver and slam it down in their ear or just answer the phone and hang up immediately without saying a word. They get very angry but then so will you if you have to answer the phone whenever they call.
these son of a [***] called me a day before thanksgiving, saying his name was "robert fitch" and that a lawsuit was being filed againts me for a loan i did not even get! and that they were gonna arrest me on friday. he was saying that i had to pay half of the amount which was $350 so they can stopped the warrant from going out, and gullible me almost paid it. & i ask "robert fitch" whoever the [***] he is! if i can pay it the next day and he said no cos the office will be closed due to the holiday. so i stopped answering the calls, and what do you know he calls me continously the next day on (thanksgiving). and i still didnt answer any of the calls, someone had left me a voicemail stating a different name. so i took the time to listen to the voicemail again, and the guy that had left me the voicemail sounded so much like the so called "robert fitch". so i called that number back asking for "robert fitch", the guy with the same accent put me on hold for the longest time. these [***] hung on me as soon as i started to ask questions! so i decided to call back, and the same person that had answered the phone and hung on me answered again, but claiming his name was attorney "robert fitch". he they gave me directions as to how to pay the balance, was for me to get a pre paid card at walmart and send it to them! but before i decided to do anything else. i decided to do some research of my own, and look up the so called attorney and nothing came up not even from that area code. so i looked up the number. and it gave me all these red flags and that it was a scam! i must admit these [***] had me spooked and i really thought i was going to jail! [***] [***]! i hope these people get caught, and dealth with!
I received a call from a "Mike Davis" from the same number. When you call the number back, the phone rings wierd and they put you on hold for about 5 mins to reach the person that you ask for. They are all Indian. Since when do Indians with foreign accents have Americanized names? They have been very rude to my fellow co-workers and frankly do not care how they speak to others. Everyone knows that due to the privacy act no business can release personal information/matters to others. I've told them several times to not call my house, my cell, and especially my work place. I work for a U.S. Congressman and getting these type of calls are extremely embarassing. I have contacts in high places and have been a victim of fraud before. These people are going to be very sorry that they ever messed with me.
