I got the same number and message today. He knew my first name and said my daughter (knew her name) had to call today before the case goes to a lawyer. Said he was DAn Hicks from the National Arbortration group. My daugher has a fraud for bad check case against her. They have been calling for at least a year almost every day. I'm so upset I will be disconnecting my home phone. I'm at my limit of blocking calls with Xfinity :(.
I received a message today from a Kyle Graham, stating he was calling from the National Arbitration Group for the State of Delaware and it is in response because i failed to respond within the 10 day period of a letter that was sent to me, and I must call him back today, or criminal charges will be brought up, he said good luck. I called the atty gen office for DE and she laughed, she said no such thing, and if it was from the state.of DE, the number to call back will be a DE number not Georgia. Has anyone received a call like this? I never got anything in the mail, and he used my maiden name. These scammers have been at it for 5 yrs with me and I am very tired of it!! What else can I do?
Tell them to put u on do not call list any call after that is worth 500 to 1500 dollars each. Get the names of the ppl an the times. If u don't say do not call list legally they can still call u.
Guy claimed his name was James calling about fraudulent checks i have written. Told him he was calling earlier then legal, and if he was legitimate he would be sending me info by mail. He claimed he will.proceed and hung up
I received the same phone call about a felony fraud case from the same number.
"We've been asked to contact you to get your attorneys information on file. This is in reference to a felony check fraud case filed against you. I do need you to contact my office immediately at (678) 254-0723 reference case docket number, 2015 dash 11701 I understand if we do not hear from you or your attorney of record, We will document you have waived the right to council and send your case out of the State of Colorado for prosecution. Once again, you can reach me at (678) 254-0723 your, docket number is 2015 dash 11701."
This is (one of many) criminal extortion scams that have been going on for years. Many are operating overseas and out of the reach of US law enforcement, while others are operating within the confines of prison cells here in the US, using contraband cell phones. Others are using VOIP. Either way, they are able to disguise their identities and locations, making them next to impossible to prosecute. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting victims' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
