Called my phone 5 times in 4 mins. Left one message stating his name, which I couldn't understand (just like all the other calls that these people make), stated that I needed to call back now or have my attorney call and if they don't hear back then Good Luck to me!! These people will changes #'s all the time with the same foreign speaking people and call repeatedly. They will get to a point of threatening your family. I had to get the police involved before and the calls stopped for about 2 months. Not sure why our government won't do anything to stop these people, I have tried by contacting the FBI and am told its a local police matter. How can that be when the calls are coming from over my state line or another country???
I got a call on ma way home frm work stating that I took a loan for $8000 and I need to pay $200. Took keep it out of court..I never received no loan n ma name..also Tht i was going to b locked up for 21 days for investigation.. This is crazy they playing wit peoples lives n that ain't funny..
I was called today they told me I had taken a loan and had to pay $632.26 today to keep it out of court when I told them I have a lawyer the man got mad raised his voice and said if I contacted my lawyer they would arrest me from my job tomorrow. Who are these idiots?,,
Scammers trying to scare people into paying bogus debts. And most likely calling from overseas too. You can report the callers to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General. More info here:

Follow the steps in what you need to know. A legitimate debt collector agency should not have a problem with giving you a real business name and address you can google and verify via google street view, BBB etc.
For extortion Scam Operations, file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
