This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
This is a scam....a lady named tracy parker who is trying to get u to send money via western union or moneygram. A liar who says she's from the fraud division
Tract Parker contacted me as well! She is a fraud and liar because I have no out standing debts. She could not even send a letter out in correspondence with the alleged charges.
.
A lady named Tracy Parker called us from this number trying to say my elderly father owed 600.00 from back in 2008 on a check written for insufficient funds. He never owed any money. She also threatened to issue a felony warrant on him for not paying the money. She said we had to have the money only in money order form within 2 days or he would get arrested. This is ALL A SCAM and has been reported to the local police!! If you get a call from this number it from a person with the name Tracy Parker just ignore it!! She will STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!
Glad you're there to look out for your father. Debt collectors do not have the power to issue a felony warrant - or any warrant. More info on this type of scam here - per Tamianth:
One important thing to remember if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!
