I got this same call same person and said the same exact thing...this number calls my phone all the time, I never answer this stupid call and they have threatened me so I tried to contact them but it is a non working number. Until someone come and arrest me I am going to ignore it, this is the second time I have been scammed this year, these people need to get a real job and make money the right way.
Calls repeatedly saying I have a payday loan and they are having me arrested. Have never had a payday loan. Definitely never taken put an 8000 loan that I wouldn't remember.
Calls over and over again, thick Indian accent but says his name is "Officer John Brown" LOL, same exact message every time "the very second you receive this message, I need you or your retained attorney of record..." blah blah blah. Says I'm going to be arrested if I don't call back. Yeah right. This is a well known scam and I laugh every time they call and leave a message. I never answer, I've read that if you do answer, they'll demand money or insist you'll be arrested and they get irate with you. Do not give them the time of day. They'll eventually move on to someone else. Here is a report from someone else who has received a similar call from a different number:
I have been receiving grossly harassing and threatening phone calls (at my place of employment and on my personal cell phone) from a thick accented Indian guy, who claims he works for American Legal Services and that I have not repaid a payday loan. The same guy uses many different aliases and many different ‘hotline division’ contact numbers. He has threatened to send the police (we have a sheriff’s department and not a police department) to my place of employment and/or home to have me arrested, if I did not immediately pay them. Not only has he threatened arrest, but he has also threatened serious legal action and my kids (which I don’t even have). This individual refuses to provide me with additional information and anytime you challenge anything that he says, he becomes absolutely irate and he begins yelling, cussing and throwing around threats. I still don’t know how much money they are trying to extort from me because every time I attempt to obtain debt validation, he starts his antics and I end up hanging up on him. I have not paid them anything and I finally quit taking the calls and now allow them all to go my voicemail. When this individual calls (sometimes upwards of ten times a day) the number is typically “Unknown”, but I have received a call from 052543511. When I researched this number on google, I determined that it seemingly belongs to a, Thong Kee Motors located at K30 Kampung Kucai, Ipoh Malaysia (please see the following link: http://www.eguide.com.my/MY/COMPANY/94060/Tho ... m?Motor+Garages). This very well could be a completely bogus listing. I have also researched the numbers they have provided (in voicemail transcripts below) and have found that numerous consumers are also contending with this harassment and threats from this individual.
Just got a cal from this number, asking for someone I had never heard from. When I told him this, he asked if this was a personal number or a business number. I told him that it was a personal number. He stated that he thought it was a business number, apologized and hung up. Same thick Indian accent.
I just got the same call and ask me if I ever got a call from them and I told them no so she told me to hold on and I talk to this person with a India voice and told me that I have a payday loan of 8000 that and that I need my lawyer to call them back or I will be arrested.
I got the same phone call at my home and on my job from the same number telling me that I had a payday loan and if I didn't call back that I would be arrested and I told them to come on
