I got the same message this afternoon!  Wtf? It seems fishy to me.  I think if I had a warrant out for my arrest for check fraud there would be fbi on my doorstep!

Yes they have an "investigator" saying there is a warrant for my arrest regarding check fraud.  I talked to my attorney, he said this was completely a scam do not give out any information.  This person doesn't even have your name.  If they call back, tell them you will report them to the FBI and Better Business Association that they are breaking the Fair Credit Law.

got a phone call from ms thompson . and When called ask question would not give any..i do not understand how people get away with this.

She called and left a message stating that she has a warrant out for this person's arrest, and if she did not receive a call and make the payment over the phone while they were speaking; she would go forth with the warrant. This is really sad since it was the WRONG number and person! I think because of the type of season it is (Tax Season) this is why they're trying to scam everyone and calling. The caller was identified as a Investigator Megg. What a loser and didn't even sound professional. This is a scam report to attorney general of you state and use your call block. Research number on internet and don't buy into  it. Stupid [***] bottom feeders!

Thank you Tamianth for all that great info. Good to know & have to defend ourselves against the damn dumb-[***]
bottom feeders! Appreciate the info & will use it. You go girl!

I totally agree. What a scam. It doesn't take a genious to figure out that if you don't live in Georgia and don't do business in Georgia, you couldn't have a warrant there.
I don't answer any calls that are not in my contacts. I just block these kinds of calls

All of you are saying this is fraud but none are you are admitting to owing the debt!
Bottom line is.....you owe the debt and we will pursue litigation against you!

The bottom line is ... you're a shill!

Bottom line is you are a low-life shill who works in a maggot infested boiler room and violates the FDCPA on an hourly basis.  Maybe none of them are admitting to owing the debt because the don't you idiot.  Good luck in pursuing litigation against anyone, since you are clearly an illiterate who couldn't read the address of the courthouse out of the phone book.

Debt is a civil matter, not a criminal matter.  No consumers are going to be arrested because of calls from this number.  However, I suspect you don't know the difference between civil court, criminal court, and a tennis court

Okay, prove me wrong.  Give me the name of your company, and I can run it through court records to see exactly how many cases your firm is the plaintiff in.  I dare you.  Failure to do so will only serve as evidence that you are deceiving consumers.

None of us are admitting to any debt. Why? Because we don't owe any. Well, at least not to some low-life, lying fraud like you anyway!
Now run along you worthless waste of space. You're a fraud. We know it. You know it. Pursuit? You couldn't get your skinny, fraudulent ass out of your chair in time to pursue your own fraudulent dreams.
Skeff Ett Liv!
Gunnar

Like we'd really take the word of an illiterate, all-caps ranting shill.  Don't let the door hit you where the dog would've bit you!

PROVE IT!!

Well folks. Now you know what 118 rupees ($0.28 US) a day buys you. At one time India had the Gurukula system. This is where you went to the teachers house & asked to be educated. Some people I assume just spent the day at the pub. In India today, 4% of  children never start school. 58% don't complete primary schools. And 90% don't complete school. Spend a day, or two on 800 notes and that fact is painfully obvious.

I was told that anything like this would be required to be provided in writing, legally documented, and sent to your home mailing address.  I was also told that you would not have a warrant issued for check fraud - you would be notified legallly and taken to court...  Be smart!  Be on top of things and don't believe anything that sounds like [***]!  Don't let these scammers scare you!!  I am getting emails claiming I owe money on a payday loan and that the penalties for such will be nearly $9,000!  Really?  Yeah, okay.  They say my employer will lay me off and I will be blacklisted from ever getting another job.  OMG!  Get serious!

Ok Captain Shill, give the rum back to Captain Jack please. I would love to see how you can sue or get litigation from the posters that called this scam out.

YOU GUYS ARE CALLING ME...Low Life>>>...but your the ones that can't pay back a simple debt...
so who's the "LOW LIFE"........take a good look in the mirror buddy....Take a good look!! how's it  looking.....Not good rite!!!!



JUST PAY THESE PEOPLE WHAT YOU OWE....SIMPLE.....IF YOU CANT PAY DON'T TAKE OUT THE LOANS....AND DON'T GIVE BAD CHECKS!!!!!!!!  

I look in the mirror everyday - quite happily actually, knowing that I am aware of my rights and can fight the illiterate thugs that call and try to extort people who DO pay their bills with knowledge - something people in your business lack. I refuse to pay the bills of someone else because lowlifes like you think intimidation and "TYPNG LIK THIS!!!!!!!" will get YOU paid.

Why would I pay someone to stop harassing me when I can just use the laws that are in place to stop it? Proof of debt needs to exist before payment is even considered, and all the exclamation marks and weak insults in the world cannot create this proof for you.
