They are using spoofing software and the FBI is aware of Sandra Kerr. She called me as well and at first got nervous then did a lot of checking. She said district 2 Harris County Texas so she is going all around the US.
They will call your family anxd threaten them as well so let family know its a scam.
But I called the Sheriffs Department, Court House and DA Office and nothing was reported and told a scam.
DA's Office or any legit legal will not threaten and its against Fair Credi Reporting Act and they can be sued but very hard since its spoof calling
Yes mike its Chris from above even if there lawyers firm and Sandra Kerr told me she was an investigator. I think its a scam but even if there collectors they cannot say there's gonna b a warrant issued for you're arrest. Just like they did to me. Thanks

— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
