Being in ordinary civil debt is NOT a crime and you cannot be arrested for it. We
do not have debtors prisons in the US. Ignore and block these calls.
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
I got a message on my voice mail from this number and it was all automated and like others have stated was threatened to be pursued at my place of employment and home. No name of company just an automated recording sayong 2 charges are pending against me and a case number and phone number to call back. I own my own business and know I dont have any outstanding debts. It sounds like a scam of some sort to me.
They called me with the same message about my husband. I called back and they asked for his social. Didn't give it but I did state his dob. They had his first name wrong anyways. I'll see if I can block them somehow. Wish I would have seen this before I returned the call
I just got a message (yelling) saying that were going to actively pursue me at home. Scared the witts out of me...then i thought about it and realized that they had given me no indication of who they were or what my "charges" were. Jeeze, it sounded more than a little threatening... Glad I looked this info up.
