I too got several calls today from this # 408-900-9700. Just ignore these calls. I talked to an attorney a while ago regarding similar calls. He said no one can arrest you at home or at work for these false alegations. I hope there will be a special place in hell for these morons!!
A client contacted me concerning this Ryan Smith. I called him and informed him that he was violating the Fair Debt Collection Act. I challenged if he was really an attorney. He tried to give me an attorney number (which anyone can easily find) so I asked him where he went to Law school. Instead of answering a simple question which any lawyer could easily answer, he kept trying to give me his Bar ID number. It didn't take long to surmise that not only was he not a lawyer, he had no real knowledge of the law. He simply relies on intimidating innocent people. I was able to to speak to the Controller for Holland & Hart. She was a nice woman who explained that their firm keeps getting used in this scam and it springs up quarterly. They were asking for $500 from my client. If they could get 20 people a day (100/wk) to pay then they are stealing $50,000/ wk. Holland & Hart has reported it to authorities but it is difficult to do anything about it. The banks are off-shore accounts. Their advice is to ignore calls from this number and don't give in to their scare tactics.
THIS GUYS BEEN CALLING ME 2-3 TIMES A DAY FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I FELL FOR THIS SCAM ONCE AND NOW I JUST DON'T ANSWER MY PHONE. HE'S USING THE NAME JEFF MORGAN AND HAS A THICK MIDDLE EASTERN ACCENT.
