Received the same message on a debt that's over 7 years old. In my state, that's beyond statute of limitations. Lady didn't seem to get it, then hung up on me. Personally I think it's a bogus call.
Got a call from a person named Sherry. She said it was from a payday loan in 2008 for BMG and it was never paid back. This is BULL CRAP as I have gotten a payday loan locally and they had no reports of any defaults.
When they call on 5-23-13 at about 12:30 noon and said that if they didn't get payment that someone will come up to where I work with a subpoena..... I asked Sherry to email me a "Debt Validation" and so far have got NOTHING.... I asked Sherry if she was an officer of the Court and she had a melt down... But the answer was NO... she is not.
I don't even know this company so I know I didn't do Payday loan with them. They have bought my info from someone on the net and are trying to extort money by scaring people.
I also found out the "BMG" may stand for "Bahamas Marketing Group" and they are a scam!!!! But just in case here is their info: BMG, 20F Street, 7th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20001 (410) 402-1073.
Don't know if this address is real but I'm going to investigate it!!!!! Good Luck to ALL.

I have the same problem with this company they keep calling me and telling me they are going to arrest me, and i told them already I been waiting for you guys to do it, since they keep threating me everytime they call and as soon as i tell them im waiing for that they hang up on me.
LOL...they threatened to have a warrant put out on me for illegal activities. What a joke....they are scammers...don't pay them. They are debt collectors trying to threaten [***] into having people pay them by scaring them. They are a joke. They are going to be shut once I complain to the proper authorities for their [***]. I have it recorded. The [***] must think I am stupid.
