Definite scam. Don't answer, Don't return their calls. block them if you can. I got a bank threat from them, but I don't do any business or even know anyone from Maywood Illinois.
Left message regarding warrants and that they would be taking me to court if I did not respond. I don't understand how these people keep getting away with their threats. They also called my ex-husband's home phone and we have been divorced for 4 years. I know this is just a scam to try and get money, but after working very hard to get my life back on track these calls are very upsetting. Somehow they have to be STOPPED!
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
