* File a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime webpage http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
* File a complaint with the Attorney General for the state you live in
The more information and complaints there are, the better the chance of getting these criminals to stop (or at least reduce the frequency).
They continue to bother you, tell them you are going to the police to make a complaint of extortion. Go in person to the police and demand that they take a complaint of extortion.
I received the same call, threatening legal action, wage garnishment, bla bla bla. However the voice mail recording was on my office phone. I called the local PD and they were not interested in chasing this because they have far too many telephone scams going on to take any more information.
I received a call this morning from a 520 number which would make me think it was local but then upon hearing the recording and Richard Blackburn advised that I call 586-353-1729 in order to avoid legal action that could result in garnishment. I immediately searched the number and came to this page. This is clearly a scam thank you all for posting

Blackburn is a scammer working for something called Legal Mediation Solutions, which is, so far as I can tell a fake company. This company is trying to scam you. Do not call them back, do not talk to them. Block their calls. DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY! Blackburn and LMS has a long history on 800notes of engaging in the worst kind of debt scamming.
