I got the same thing. Just a voicemail yesterday and today saying that Mr. Davis was calling from the fraud division and that the telephone number was on file and I needed to call back. Such a scam. He didn't say who he was looking for and what company he was calling from.
Received call stating from fraud division. Asked if I received information from them regarding Fraud. Needed to verify my address, and name, and proceeded to state a social security # all while I'm asking who and what company department they are with. Stated a criminal complaint filed against me. I would not verify SS# -I stopped him at this point indicating fraud they hung up. Do not talk to any caller from this number. It's a Fruad.
Total scam. Common MO of scammy debt collectors. Threatening people with criminal process to collect a civil debt. This is a clear violation of FTC rules. Also, fraud is usually prosecuted as a crime and it is prosecuted by duly constituted prosecutors and officers of the law. Debt collectors have nothing to do with prosecuting anyone. If you were suspect of that sort of crime you would have already been interviewed by members of law enforcement on a face- to -face basis. This this is a total scam. Being in ordinary civil debt is NOT a crime and you cannor be prosecuted for it.
Ignore and block these calls.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.
