they said they were going to issue a warrent for arrest if their call wasn't returned

The guy wouldn't give me his name. He said he was serving me with a sopena and wanted me to give my address.  As far as i can tell this is a scam.  If you get a call from this number tell them where they can stick it.

This is what the BBB says on legit and scam debt collectors http://www.bbb.org/us/article/bbb-advises-con ... and-phony-26492 
Beware there may be scammer shills on this thread promoting the scam, if this is a scam debt collector.

some "personal locator" called saying i need to call this number for someone having a judgement against me via Nationwide...sounds shady to me.

I too got a call from this number telling me they where going to issue a warrent for my arrest...Can a collection company due this...What about the FDCPA act...

From what information I gathered, if you did not receive any legal papers from the court system, they cannot do anything to you.  They would have to get the local magistrate to issue a warrant for your arrest.  I do not know of any local magistrates who would waste the time to issue a warrant for your arrest unless you are a murderer.  They are only making illegal threats.

Do not give any information to this company.  They are using illegal tactics to coerce people out of closed, out of business payday loan companies.
