This person named mr. Reese called and said he was a paralegal and said that if my disabled mother did not come up with 4,400.00 within 48 hours they were going to file a e-felony by default on her. And that if she did not pay this money she was going to jail for 90 days. what do you think about this one? I called his bluff and he kept changing his stories at that time.I told him to give me a extra two days to see what i could come up with. That i needed to conferr with my lawyer friend on a friday, he gave me til thursday. What do you think?
Either Pescatello is making these calls from his home or his number is being spoofed by one of many criminal debt collectors in the Buffalo, NY area.
At any rate, this is a SCAM. If the debts this person is calling about were LEGITIMATE, they would NOT be threatening to place derogoratory remarks on someone's credit report or with arrest or claiming that a felony has been committed WHICH ARE ALL ILLEGAL. *THESE ARE ACTS OF EXTORTION AND NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE NY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AS WELL AS THE AG IN YOUR OWN STATE, THE FTC, YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TO THE FBI!*
Did some more searching and found the name and address of these scamsters:

They are apparently using Dave Pescatello's old phone number.
Now that you know WHO they are, you can turn them over to the authortities!
