See my message above from Feb. 23. It's a notorious scam operation. Anytime someone calls and demands money from you to prevent you from being arrested, it is ALWAYS a scam. So you can relax.
Even though these were phony threats, you should report these criminals to all the following federal and state law enforcement agencies (you can do most of these online):
1) File a report with your local police
2) File a report online with the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov
3) File a report with Sid Barrett, Senior Assistant Georgia Attorney General at
[email protected] or 404-656-3202
4) File a report to Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum at http://myfloridalegal.com/contact.nsf/contact?Open&Section=Attorney_General and be sure to reference that it was a call from scammers at Bass & Associates/Jackson Phillips/States Predisposition
5) File a complaint with your state's attorney general. The contact information for each state's attorney general is listed at www.naag.org Just scroll down to the national map and click on your state.
6) File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission here: https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
If these criminals call you again, be sure not to tell them anything other than that you've already reported them to federal and state authorities and not to call again. After telling them that, I'm sure they'll huff and puff and make more ridiculous threats; just ignore them and report them to the law enforcement links I listed above. Good luck.
