DO NOT CALL THEM BACK: It's a scam operation calling from the #s below. Each week there's a new number too. block these numbers from your landlines and cellphone and keep adding the new #s to your block list. http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/stand-fake-debt-collectors.
Any calls from these numbers are FAKE PAYDAY LOAN COLLECTION CALLS, who threaten jail time if you don't pay them a certain amount to prevent you from facing "charges". FAKE FAKE SCAM SCAM. DO NOT verify anything. The FTC is aware and asks that you file a complaint online: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/stand-fake-debt-collectors.
They call from different numbers so please be sure to report the # each time you receive a call.
For the last few weeks, I've been receiving the same type of calls and messages from Richard. My first thought was to see how many times I would receive this call becaus if I really did something that bad why haven't you just processed the paper work yet after calling on several different occasion and not receiving a call back yet. Tonight I checked my voicemail and here he is again so I decided to goggle the number and surprise surprise, this is a scam. I'm definitely reporting this number.
The "govern yourself accordingly" crew strikes again!
The “govern yourself accordingly” Scam group.
Usually starts off by saying there are 2 “complaints” against you. Gives you a spiel meant to frighten you into paying them something and then sometimes ends with the stupid phrase “govern yourself accordingly.” Sometimes includes threats of arrest. Oh, and don't forget the phrase "see you in court". Total rubbish, don't be intimidated by the callers. Ignore and block them.

There may be more but this is what my research has come up with.
Personally I think: http://www.republicnationalrecovery.com is responsible for all this “govern yourself accordingly” garbage.
Thanks for all your information. I guess there are some people who actually give them money for them to continue these lame calls. And just remember govern yourself accordingly Lol

— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
