440-220-6325

someone called from this number saying they are some legal company about a payday loan. Scam for sure

yea I did too telling me I'm going to do a 180 days in jail I asked why they wouldn't tell me so I asked about there company name and there BBB license # they hung up I called back and was told to quit calling or they were going to add harassment charges

This is the VM I got from this number: ‘This is Trent Nielsen with pre-trial intervention. You have a pending case in our office that needs your immediate attention. I need to speak with you or your attorney of record immediately today. My number is 440-220-6325. If I do not hear from you or your attorney I will document that you have waived your right to counsel and submit your case. Govern yourself accordingly.’

I immediately got a call from 203-202-3630 with the exact same message except it was from “Justin Webb.”

It is a complete scam.

They called me with the same thing but a payday loan. I started asking questions because he did have some my info. The guy eventually hung up on me. He told me I had warrants out and would be picked up today.  What a way to start my day

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Received a call and v-mail from "Trent Nielsen."  He left the same message as posted by Irie on 26 Mar 2015.

This moron left me the same message as he left Irie.

Just got the same message from these fraudsters. Trent Nelson is a fake name, as are those debts they are trying to collect from innocents. Be strong and ignore them!

same exact message as IRIE.

felony charges.

Same message as everyone else. Is this a scam?

The "govern yourself accordingly" gang strikes again.  That phrase is a flashing red light for a debt scam.

Yes it is.  Total scam.  Someone is trying to scare you into paying them something.  Ignore them and block their calls.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
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 block their calls and ignore them.

If they are bothering you,

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

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.  You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her.  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.  If you can find them.

I got a call from them twice today as well as my husband leaving the same message. I didn't bother to call them back because the message sound suspect. I am going to block them.
