Erica, unfortunately, these people are not "attornies" or "debt collectors". They are criminals, plain and simple. They threatened your daughter because they know, that as a mom, you would do anything and everything to keep your daughter from harm. They're hoping that you will just pay them, hoping that they'll stop talking to your child that way. They are the scummiest, most disgusting "people" on this Earth. I've read many posts on this subject on this site and have heard some pretty low remarks to people. One woman had stated her son had just committed suicide and they had the audacity to say maybe if she had paid her bills; he'd still be alive. Another woman said that they threatened her husband's military career, saying he'd be dishonorably discharged if she didn't pay. I've been chatting with another woman who is very "spiritual" and they questioned her faith and said they would serve her during church. Basically, they will say anything to hurt you. Fortunately, they can't do anything to you. If you do indeed owe a debt, they are not the people you should pay. They are fakes and have probably stolen your info from a website. They are not a "crime bureau" simply because it is not a crime to owe a debt, it is at best a civil matter. They're hoping you don't know this. May I suggest that you go to the following website and check out your rights as an American citizen regarding debt? And, if they call again, just read off the list on the website's homepage. Be aware though, they don't like being called out as a scam, so they may start cussing you out and throwing ridiculous threats at you. Anyway, I hope the info I've provided helps you and if you have any questions, please post them and I'd be glad to try and help.

P.S. Try to keep your daughter from answering unknown calls; she doesn't need to hear the crap that these people spew.
I agree this # is a total scam operation! I got a call from them a few weeks ago. They had a very heavy Indian accent. Claiming I was being recorded on a Federally recorded line. They called my work and was very rude. At first I got a woman then I spoke to an "attorney" a very RUDE [***]!!! I called back because I was suspicious. The lady that answered the phone just said "hello" no company name. Do they think I'm stupid. They told me that there's a lawsuit being downloaded on my name and SSN and they need me to pay NOW if not their client is going to take me to court and I will have to pay more fees. They didn't want to give me the name of the loan company or any other details. She also advised me that my employer and supervisor would be served papers as well. I told them I'm not paying and hung up. Today I called back to see if I can send them any proof that & I never received a loan. They told me the same crap. I told them that I'm not paying for a loan I never got and they hung up on me. I called a number that I have at work and told them what happened. They said they're DEFINETELY A SCAM!!! They also said that over the past 6 months this # is scamming people out of money everyday. So I called them back and I told them that they should be ashamed of themselves & that I know this is a scam!!! I told them that now they're being investigated & will be arrested!!! All the lady could say was that she didn't have time for this & hung up. What's funny is that about 30 minutes later the rude guy called me back at work I told him to please hold. He was holding on the phone for about 2 minutes then he hung up. I tried calling back & it went straight to a general voicemail. I just tried calling them back from my cellphone & now that number doesn't even ring. Funny huh? PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING!!! IDIOTS!!!
How can they get away with this? And how can we stop them?
