The guy said his name was Brad (he has some kind of African accent) and he said to return his call at 315-515-4708 or have you atty of record return his call as this was a time sensitive matter. He said don't disregard this call. If I don't return this call or have my atty return the call he wishes me good luck and may god bless me.
Received the same call stating either me or my attorney need to call the number (315) 515-4708 within 24 hours. If I don't then Brad cannot help me when the situation unfolds. Nothing at the courthouse with my name. Yet another threatening bill collector...
No, just another foreign extortionist scammer - they can't do zip to anyone. Except perhaps scare someone into paying money for a bogus debt, debt that's already been paid, or even a debt that is owed - but to someone else.
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.
