I received this same call today and it has made me nervous all day. I was finally calming down and realizing it was a scam when I received a call from "911" on my cell phone telling me it was my location police and they are investigating a police report against me. When I said it's a bogus report the "police officer" got snippy and hung up on me. Especially since all of these reports are from today!
I received this same call from a guy identifying himself as Mark Spencer telling me that this was a "time sensitive" matter and to not disregard or the only thing he can do is wish me good luck as the situation unfolds on me. I called back and another person answered "Law Office." He would not identify the name of his law office. I asked for Mark Spencer and he had stepped away. The guy would give me no further information aside from "there's a legal emergency." He told me to stand by and Mark Spencer would call me back. Called my spouse too and he started threatening her, telling her he would be at the jail to watch her taken into custody. She gave the number of our attorney and he hung up.
I know who they are....
If you have ever inquired about a payday loan or received a payday loan, they somehow got your info and called to claim you took a loan out but never paid it back. IT'S A SCAM. It has happened to me a couple times. They call and try to scare you into submission by saying you're going to jail or going to be arrested or sued, etc. After the 3rd time, I started messing with the guy and said "come and get me, etc." He got so pissed off that I wasn't buying into it that he started yelling and told me to "watch my back". Right then I realized it was a scam and they had no legal recourse or they wouldn't have stooped to childish tactics when they weren't getting there way. Ignore them or give it right back to them. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. It's a scam. Report them to your local authorities. I did...
