The person said I had a form of complaint.

Says trying to find first and last name (ex's last name) related to fraud and if not contacted will file charges with local county court. My ex's name has never been associated with my current number or address, yet they have called my number and my current husband's number trying to get a return call.  No email, no letter and no other information.  Last time this name was used was 10 years ago...  They make it sound really scary because of the threat of legal consequences.

Said I had a complaint and was going to file in local jurisdiction

Says that I had a form of complaint and will be filing paperwork with the County Clerk! Ok go right ahead! I'm very straight edge pay all my bills on time, never been in trouble.  and they were asking for me with my maiden name.  I guess we'll see if I get any court paperwork in the mail!

My ex-husband (in Maryland) just received a call from this number regarding our 28 year old son who has lived in another state for the past 5 years stating they are looking for our son who has had a complaint filed against him and will proceed with legal action... first thing I assumed was scam, but I can only find number here with other very recent similar entries... very weird, i think it has to be a scam.  Our son hasn't been associated with my ex particularly since he was 14 or so....

added note to my previous entry ... i called number back and spoke to "Henry", I asked the company name and he said Western, I said western what, he said just Western. He also said they were located in Arizona.

Known debt scammers.  Crooks pretending to be debt collectors.  This applies to you, your ex, and you should pass it on to your son as well.

Debt Collection Links:
They call family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.

This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Just received a message, formal complaint, need information on individual, filing necessary paper work with local county court!!
I say, go ahead... make my day...these are scammers looking to scare you out of money. Don't fall for these calls!!!

You won't.  Scammers.  I got the same call today, 06/02/2016.  I got the calls a couple months ago, then they stopped after tax time around April 15, and now started again!

I am getting the same calls.  Scammers!  Very annoying and rude.  They also said they were "Western."  I said Western what, and they said Western.  Asked what I wanted, said they called me.  They are idiots!

I have filed complaint after complaint to all appropriate parties.  Nobody cares.

It said it was trying to contact then it put in a name I haven't used in 10 years.  Call back or press any key on your keypad or the local police will be contacted and paperwork will be filled.  No company name was given. I called them back to get the information.  The person that answered was  Amanda Sloan The only name given was  Western

I just receive a call saying a formal complaint has file against and they want to know my where abouts. I have been receiving calls like this from many numbers , but when I asks for a copy of whatever they sailing I own  never receive anything. They have been calling my granddaughter who lives about 10 states away.. They say they are going to file with my local court house go ahead..

Did not answer because I saw what everyone was saying here first. I love this site.

They call everyone I know asking for my whereabouts. Finally when I called then back they wanted me to verify my last four digits of ss# that they had. Of course I didn't because that kind of information should never be given out. Then I asked them for their business license but he said he can't give that information out. Yet wants me to give him my personal info. Doesn't make sense. I told him to send me any paperwork to my home to have it all in writing. These people are scammers. Don't fall for it.

Hi Cindy, my mom received same phone call yesterday asking for me via a voicemail message. I freaked out at first and looked it up online. I'm glad to see these responses on here and know it's a scam. Shame on these people to do this and exploit them for money. I know not to call them!!

Not true.  i have found the CFPB and my State Ag very responsive.  What you don't understand is that this isn't a real company.  So it takes a while to figure who they are and where they are located.  This group might possibly be located in the Caribbean as well which makes it even more difficult since now you have to deal with foreign governments.  It may take months just to get enough subpoenas to track these people down.

Same number same call like everybody else....

former complaint filed looking for a certain person

This guy call all of my family members plus my work and I got fired I don't know who these people are or what they want but I'm going to hunt him down like a dog
