The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

I just got the exact same message. So what kind of scam is this now????

Same here all scams!!! Beware. In ny it is against the law for any debtor to try to collect on pay day loans. Do not reply. They don't even say your name.

Just got a call saying I owe them money form a payday loan they had all of my information and said a warrent was going to put out for me. When I asked for origianal docs they said no!

Just got the same call. So a scam. Has to be

Got a call from these bozos i already contcted my attorney

Please tell me what you guys think about this, I really want to know what to do since they knew all of my information, but yet wouldn't provide me will leagal docs that i actually took out a loan.

Why would a debit collector state that they are going to issue a warrent for you arrest and good luck in court and also when asking them to provide docs they state that if i already knew about the loan then there isn't any need for them to provide docs?

Got a call this afternoon from this  number. Man said i or my attorney needed to contact them today about a claim against me. Said if I didn't,I  would be waving my rights to representation. Another scam. Don't owe anything!

Same thing. this guy left a voicemail saying he was going to issue a subpoena if he didn't hear from me today. I called back and no one answered.

Got this call this morning(0846) oct 31 but did not answer. Same Messages about something about a pretrial . I rec'd same messages from different numbers and they don' tbeven call you by name. A SCAM!,

just got the phone call from ohio from the same number telling me I have a warrant for my arrest and I need to pay $925.00 by 10am. they would not give me any information on who it was for. So I called our sheriffs dept to see if I had a warrant which I don't and he pulled up the number and stated that it was a scam.

I got a call from this number 440-249-6862 did not state who they were but said that they are trying to collect a debt from 2010 for $925.00 and had to get paid by 10 am today. Stated that they have been trying to contact me for month and that there was a warrant out for my arrest. I have not received any mail or call until today.

have been receiving this scam call for 2 weeks now every few days...

I man called Robert Dow called and said he was from a pre-trail intervention. That if me or my attorney didn't call him right back, that I will wave my right to council. For me to act accordingly. It was from Ohio,and he would go ahead and present my case. Who is this??? I have no case!!!

They called me and said a check had been returned NSF from a bank account that has been closed.

Then told me I was going to be arrested.

Funny since I listed all my debts in bankruptcy court I am protected by law for all debts - if this one is a true debt.

I told the lady I had an attorney on retainer and to contact him. She said it was my right and I was going to be arrested. Funny I looked up arrest warrants and couldn't find my name. She said I could have my attorney call her then she hung up.

I received the same phone call this morning. Robert D left a message on my phone stating that he was calling from Pre-Trial Intervention and they had my file in their office.  I thought it was strange first of all because he didn't state my name or any information to make me believe this accusation.  However, I did contact them the lady who took the call did not state her name, or proceed with giving me a case # or anything.  She did have a lot of information on me and stated I would need to make a payment before 4pm today in order to stop them from sending out a warrant for my arrest.  I contacted the company with which she claimed I had outstanding payment with and they said they've been receiving phone calls for the past 2 weeks regarding this matter.  I also contacted my attorneys and they had me feel out a questionnaire regarding this matter.

If you receive a call from these scam artist do not be alarmed but take action to stop them.
