I got the same email. Is this legit or is it a scam? I called the number n some guy answered w a forgein accent. Told me to hire a lawyer as I would be served with a warrent and arrested.
I received a phone a phone message today 6/25/2014, the number originated from a new York area code (516) 370-4176 however the number to call back was (360) 474-4772. The lady stated that there was an arrest warrant against my name which will be processed tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m., according to legal procedure you can still settle with the client by contacting the law firm of Walch and Peter's LLP a good contact person is Attorney Steven A. Johnson who could be reached at (360) 474-4772.
I received a call from this number today from 'attorney' Steven Johnson. He claimed that three years ago I took out a payday loan for $500 and never paid it off (the loan being true, the latter false). He claimed I needed to get him $500 while we were on the phone or there would be a warrant issued for my arrest tomorrow at 11 am. Obviously, this is untrue. They would definitely not warn me if they were placing a warrant.
He had my personal information - previous employer, address, and last four of my social security number.
Just a warning in case someone receives a call of this sort.
