Received a call from 315-557-6167. Typical phantom debt scam. Search YouTube for 'phantom debt abc' for an ABC News story on this. Calls originate from call centers outside the US. They use VOIP and spoof the caller id to make it appear that the calls originate from within the US. Just hang up.
Caller left a message that I had been found guilty in his "High Court", that if I did not return the call by tomorrow the matter would be assigned to a State Court and I would be arrested and jailed. Voice sounded like it was computer generated, deep, slow, very hard to understand
The same exact thing happened to me!!! I was told that a debt had been reported to the High Court and if I did not return the call I was to be arrested and taken to jail. I called the number back and got the same creepy voice you guys described. The voice said I owed a cash advance pay day loan (which I have never had) and that it wanted my attorneys information because the debt was going to be moved too my high court in my village...really, the court in my village doesn't handle debt related issues anyway! Big red flag!!!!. When I told the voiced to hold on so I could get a pen and take the information from it...it hung up..and i couldn't get through anymore...i told the voice I thought it was a scam and that it would not get any personal information from me until I got personal information from it so I could do my research first. Who do these people think we are. Does anyone know where this can be reported. I feel sorry for those that may fall for it!
I received a call from this number today and they said the same thing to me. I decided to type it into Google and that's how I found this page. I already filed a police report on them but this page just confirms my suspicions. Glad I found it! What is this person trying to get from us?? I called him back and he told me I was convicted of stealing $300 from 'a company' and I need to pay it or I will be charged $5,000 . Come on now, obviously I'm not gonna just take his word for it...I know I never stole any money so ethics?
