called me saying that they have a "legal" case against me and were going to have me arrested. caller was very vague and was not specific at all. did not include the name of the company, who she was, or any sort of identifying information, just the number. caller sounded like a robotic female voice.

Total scam. Threats of arrest made by people calling you out of the blue are always fraudulent and are usually made by debt scammers. Especially so, if the caller refuses to give any information. Block the call. Don't talk to them; don't give them any information. Threats of arrest are made for the purpose of scaring you into paying them something. If they have a valid debt against you tell them to send you a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good. Of course they won't do it.
Debt collectors have no power of arrest and no influence on the criminal justice system. You cannot be arrested for ordinary civil debt.
got a call from 1-714-248-0379, said," a police officer will be by my home to arrest me if I don't pay a debt they say I owe". They have E-Mailed me from some company called ACS or ASC saying I owe them 900 from a payday loan company. They have not shown any proof I have ask for, said," they would press legal charges against my name & #SS . I don't know what to do any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I received a call from home, my husband told me that some law office was looking for me...hummm... and he gave me the number to call back. Whe I called a Hispanic female answered the phone and immediately hug up once I told her who I was. I called back several times...no answer; then finally a man answered and told me that I had reached the office of Attorney John Hill and he was Attorney James Long. He said that they have 2 aligations against me and I need an attorney if I didn't have one they could appoint me one. He was very vague as stated above and started talking robotic as though he was recording the conversation. I asked him if he had the correct person and asked him for my complete name, date of birth and address. He only gave me my address which was correct; then suddenly he became agitated and told me that he didn't have time for games, he would have the police to come pick me up on my job etc....I hung up. Of course this frightened me, so I called the police dept and was told that it was probably a scam trying to get money out of me. I felt relieved because I'm not a criminal, I go to work everyday, go home, pay bills & go to church. So they better try someone else, I'm not the one....better yet they need to be tracked down and arrested.
