relentless calls and threats!  (SCAM)  say you owed on bad checks when I do not even use checks.

Continue to call! How many phone numbers do these scammers have! I have blocked about 30 of them so far and they continue! BEWARE! They want to talk to your "attorney of record." What a bunch of crap! They never give a name of a company. they never tell you the reason they are calling. SCAMMERS!

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 from 614-407-3200.  Caller id said 'Fraud Investigation'.  I never answer calls from numbers I don't know.  They left the following message.

"...if I do not hear from you or your retained attorney I will document that you waive your rights to council and govern yourself accordingly. Good luck."

It sounded as if the voicemail started recording in the middle of the message.  I'm thinking this was a recorded message; it was hard to tell from the voicemail.  What kind of legitimate company would leave a message like this?  No identification of who is calling or why.  And they leave no number to call back!  This is clearly a scam.

Called me too, this is the 8th different number that they call from. I called them back and told them that the person they are calling for is dead. They said ok and that they will make a new file marked deceased and I would receive no more calls. Let's see how long it takes for them to call from another number. FYI, this has been going on since 2011. Scammers!

They called me 15 times so far, I have been forwarding these calls to vm. I haven't done anything wrong. And all of a sudden out of the Blue I just start receiving these calls. It's getting quite annoying.  How do I stop the harrassment?

Regards,
Victoe

Recieved a phone call from 614-407-3200. I ask for the company they were helping. They hung up on me. Call phone number back and it is a non working number. I guess this is another scam call.

they called me also saying i defrauded the city and state and they are pressing charges. But I did nothing. Got attory to call them back and they hung up on him and he was just trying to get name of company to see what all this was about.  Doesn't seem right to me.

I started receiving these call a few days ago and it's a different number everytime. Same voice message left every time with a vague description of the situation and a passive threat if I dont contact them. I was frightened a bit at first but something just sounded off. After doing some research I ended up here. I was relieved to see that others have reported having the same annoying issue.

Calls about a lawsuit threatened against me, recently changed my number and I'm STILL getting these calls. Nothing but a scam

They call us all the time frm a lt of different numbers. the same message you got.

These calls are nothing but scammers.  I have also had my attorney look into it as well.  Of course they never return any of his calls at all.  I have reported at least eight to ten telephone numbers to the Federal Trade Commission and also to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  I have been receiving these same calls since March 30, 2015.  Don't worry, they will be eventually tracked down by the legal authorities!!

Have been receiving calls from 614-407-3200 OH, USA
Called them back after they left a message saying that I owed money from a pay day loan going back to August of 2012. When I asked them to mail me the information they said I would be going to jail. I said by law I have a right to see it in writing she said no you don't pay 600.00 and everything would be fine. What a scam and I told her so. I had my attorney call and they hung up on him. The last time they called was Friday 5.15.15
Do not pay anything. Just block the numbers.

The "govern yourself accordingly" crowd strikes again!

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.

they keep calling me and have used several different extensions. Say they calling from county of record. This has been going on for a year with all different extensions. I keep blocking them but they keep calling

Let them know the next time they call they are calling on a recorded line and you intend to have them prosecuted for attempted extortion and wire fraud.

I receive a call from these people saying that i owe on a pay day loan but cannot send me any information until i provided them with my checking account information. Another number the called from is 6786082384 6144073290

I have a company calling me from Ohio number 16144070973 stating I owe money from national pay day loan, now I know I took loan out before they said what bank ot was that I had and everything.  The woman was rude, she stated i had to pay 350 today and than 202.00 every 2 weeks. I tryed to get a friend to pay cause I'm scared I don't want to get arrested  they hung up on the person that wanted to help me. And stated good luck and that imma be arrested

The company stated i had to pay 350 today by 530 pm I tryed to get help, they hung up on me , I gave a friend the number so they can help me and my friend ask questions and they were very nasty to her and hung up on her , the number that called me was 16144070973,I'm so scared I don't want to be arrested
