BigA I did read it after hours of freaking out. I'm just glad I found this page before it went any further. I know so much more now than I did a few hours ago. After reading this page and the FTC's page. Thanks for the reply. I just hate this kind of crap. I work so hard to have good credit. ☺
Good, that is the best way to prevent from becoming a victim of these scams. If more people would educate themselves, these criminals would be out of business since no one would fall for their ruse and pay them anything.
They called me yesterday as well. Same story except they had my DOB and last four of SSN. I am signed up for credit monitoring so I can hopefully stop them if they try anything, but the call was very strange. I hope they get caught!!
The Infamous Rebecca Outlaw strikes again. She just loves to threaten arrest.
The “govern yourself accordingly” Scam group. Ignore these people and block their calls.
Report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening criminal prosecution to collect a civil debt is a clear violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act)
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. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. 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.
_______________________
Usually starts off by saying there are 2 “complaints” against you. Or that there are “warrants” against you or that you are going to be arrested. Gives you a spiel meant to frighten you into paying them something and then sometimes ends with the stupid phrase “govern yourself accordingly.” Sometimes includes threats of arrest. Sometimes they use the phrase “handle yourself accordingly.”
