I received a call from #801-266-1717, Cameron Lott, of Thomas, Thomas, Witcherman and Associates LLC called me with a frightening message for my former husband's daughter. He knew my name and address, and all about me, and was very persistent that he must speak to my former daughter-in-law immediately, or have her call back before nightfall, regarding a situation involving her directly that she is completely unaware of what she is involved in, case file #147789-VA. He gave a call-back #855-600-1017. Again, he stated that he must speak with her tonight, as if her life was in danger. I have not seen her for over ten years and did not have any way to contact her. I researched the phone numbers, and found that TTW is a collection agency posing as lawyers:

I called my local Sherriff's Dept and played the message for them. The Deputy stated that this is just another way that a collection agency can force someone to pay a bill, even if it is not owed by that person. Many in my area have received similar calls. SCAM ALERT!! Do not call them back, they will try to force you to pay an erroneous bill.
this guy keeps calling my mother and we don't even know who he is. His name is Richard Lang from Thomas Thomas Wichterman & Associates.Please stop these calls
This is an collection agency posing as lawyers. They never sent me anything in the mail or called me but somehow got my parents cell nubers and they are not in the same home. I haven't lived with either parents in years. They called both parents telling them they needed to get in contact with me regarding a "federal offense" that I am facing. I called back and was given nonsense about this federal offense on credit card. I do owe the credit card but for half of the money that he was asking for. He also tried to make pay on the phone because they were about to take "action" against me. He was also talking to me as if he was a salespaerson. I eventually hung up on the guy. They as lawyers using scare tactics to get you to pay. I was also told that they used investigators to find me through my parents.
Returned call and they wouldn't put me through to person who called me without a case number. I told them not to call me again. They are a collection agency who wants info on a tenant in one of my rental properties. They have no right asking me about a tenant of mine.
Got the same calls from the same guy Mr. Lang. He's called my parents and my ex-husband trying to scare them to death. So stupid, you can tell he is reading from a piece of paper, even down to the pathetic "sigh" in the middle of the message. I actually AM an attorney and know my rights very well. It is illegal to call without identifying the debt and who is owed money or that the call is for the purpose of collecting a debt. They MUST provide you with a copy of the original debt that is owed or else they cannot come after you. Also, if you notify them in writing, it is illegal (punishable by an ACTUAL Federal offense) if they call you again after asking them to stop in writing. Jerks, I wrote a letter tearing them up with the law and telling them how pathetic they sounded reading that stupid paragraph over and over on my voicemail. Know your rights and empower yourself.
Received a distressing call looking for my daughter or anyone from my family who could give out information on someone who they described as an "individual known to her" who is in serious trouble and they appeared to need our help to get this "unknown person" out of trouble and asked that we call them back right away at their number. Usually if its a debt collector, they'll announce themselves. They even sound like scam artists on the phone.
