Got a call from them today talking about I am going to be served today at work by 4:30 if i don't get it resolved today....when I call back to speak with some one no answer....I this real.
I have been getting numerous calls from this number stating there are several judgements against me as well as fraud charges! They are threatening to come to my place of employment as well. They have also started calling my work phone, my husband and my grown children. We are contacting the sheriff.
Total scam and pretty stupid scammers. If there are judgments against you, all you have to do is call up or go down to your local main courthouse and tell them the call you received. Then have the clerk check your name against the current defendants list.
Just white collar criminals going around trying to scare up money from people. Ignore and block the calls.
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.
Basically a debt scamming operation. Most likely out of New York. Ignore and block the calls.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you 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 block their calls and ignore them.
If they are bothering you,
Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening arrest or criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a clear violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act)
Also contact your local attorney general
