I have been getting calls from this number for a few days. They say that they work for an attornery Joe Thompson. I called back the number and they only take calls from 8 am to 11 am. How stupid can they get. I work for law enforcement and know this is a scam. If charges are to be filed they would not come from an attorney. They don't say what charges or what county court, but on their voice e-mail they want you to provide the county you live in and three phone numbers you can be contacted at. This is a scam! Just ignore them or hang up. If someone does get on the line, tell them you have spoken to your local law enforcement agency and they are investigating these calls. They will never call you again. This calls usually originate out of the country so they cannot be traced.
Received a call from this number stating that they have 2 charges pendlng and going to file them with the county court if I don't settle this matter. First of all I don't know what they are talking about, they dtd not identify themselves, they did not say what company or firm they work for, nor did they say who they were asking for. How stupid can some scammers be.
I have been recieving calls from these fools for weeks. "County Court" without naming a specific county or specific charges. Tomorrow I will report the number to the FTC.

Rec'd several calls from this number.... I don't have any cases anyway.. WTH...Please stop calling me... How do they get your number !!!! It's harassment !!!!
1. You have defrauded a financial institution
2. You owe an unpaid payday loan
3. You have a warrant due to an unpaid loan
5. You will receive a court summons
6. Authorities are coming to arrest you
7. Anything similar to above,
a. Do not give them any information or verify any information for them
b. Tell them you know they are a scam operating illegally and that you are filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities
* File a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime webpage http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
* File a complaint with the Attorney General for the state you live in
The more information and complaints there are, the better the chance of getting these criminals to stop (or at least reduce the frequency). [abstracted from another site]
They continue to bother you, tell them you are going to the police to make a complaint of extortion.
