does anyone know this number?

I just got a call from them

they called saying I was gonna be arrested and now I can't reach them.

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process.  They will deliver the notification without warning.

(Here is more info than you really need on process serving:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_of_proce ... nited_States.29 )

Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam

"The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer."

"Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court."

Definitions, if you need 'em:
* A =summons= is an official notice of a lawsuit. It is given to the person being sued (the defendant).
* A =subpoena= is a court order. It requires someone to come to court, go to a deposition, or give documents or evidence.
* =Papers= is a word sometimes used by scammers, as a scare word.  Legal documents can be sent via Certified mail. A courier is not absolutely necessary, although  the Sheriff, Constable, or a Bonded Licensed Process Server might be used.  Such people will have appropriate ID.

This number just called I spoke with sum man first he telling me old bank info that went to collections and i was gonna be arrested I freaked out and hung up then I call back sum lady gets on phone tells me I owe a total debt of 1,498 from 2010- to current and that was the reason I ask what can I do she puts me on hold for 15 mins comes back saying I have to pay in full now or officer is on their way to arrest me. I'm freakung out and confused. Help. Is this foreal? Debt from 2010 under $2000 I never received no type of notification regarding court or anything pertaining to that.

This is a load of bull [***]. they buy your information form companies that sell personal information for pre-approved credit offers and such. then call you and threaten you with being arrested in you don't pay them. this is fake as hell! laugh in their face and hang up on them!

Omg I was freaking out but thank you. Has this happened to you before.

I just got a call from this number. It was not a real person. It was a recorded voice with a strong accent stating that he will see me in the courthouse. The recording never gave me a name, nor a business name.

Almost a year to the day from the last time I called them.  Please send the police.  Please be there with them....crooks.

I received the same "you will be arrested" phone call. I called back and after numerous attempts, I got some guy named James. He asked me what my phone number was. I told him I only would when he told me what company he was with. He hung up on me. I also remember getting the same call about a year ago.

I just missed a call from this number amd they left a mrssage ,a machine I think, stating that I had a warrant and officers were going to attest me and they would see me in court. They never said company name or gave a reference number.  I was sure it was a scam and came here to warn people.

I just got a phone call from this number saying I was going to get arrested.  I called the number back and a lady answered being horrible because I started asking questions.  After she got finished with what she had to say I ask her the name of her company she hung up on me.  I tried to call back many times to get hung up one when asking what company they were from.  Finally a man answered the phone and started laughing at me because I was asking questions and when I told them I was calling the police his words to me was F.... you, you stupid [***].  This is a scam No real company will ever talk to you that way.  My husband tried to call them back and they are now not answering their phones.  IT IS A SCAM........

They left me a message saying that I was going to be arrested and they would see me in court I tried to call back and I said that the caller I was tring  to reach was talking to someone else I wish they would catch these people and throw away the key

This is a scam! They will threaten and tell you that you are going to be arrested and then ask to help you as they are a 'law firm'. If you were going to be arrested for a 'felony' etc you have probably been aware of that before and would have received documentation in the mail prior. Please do not talk to these people and do not give any personal information!!!

Just said I would be arrested at work or home.

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).

My daughter has gotten calls from this number saying there is a warrant out for her arrest and they will come to her home or work place.  I have called back and said you call my daughter again I will have you arrested.  They end up hanging up on me when I say that.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR INFO!!  Its a crock of crap!

They called and said there was a case against me and they would see me in court. Stating that I would be served either at home or at work.

They left a massage without any name or business.  Saying I owe a legal fee and there is case against me. and you will get arrest at home or work.  see me in the court house....
