claim the sheriff's department would be at my house the next day if I did not pay a debt from 2011 - that did not exist!  This is the name:
The Attorney General Office
1125 Washington Street SE PO Box 40100
Olympia Washington  98504-0100
Sr. Attorney Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Hotline Division

That is soooo funny!!  Eric Holder being the current US Attorney General and head of the Justice Department located in Washington, DC with an Olympia, Washington address??  LMAO!!!!!  Cleary very stupid foreign scammers with no knowledge of US geography.

I just want to spread the word on my experience with these people. They do sound very legitimate and professional when they call you. I was very scared the first time these people called. This is not the only number they use. I had multiple people calling claiming to be from a lawyers office, the courthouse, the police station. I hired an ACTUAL attorney to look into this and what she found was this number and these people to be SCAMMERS who steal info from actual debt collectors. There is no such thing as being taken to jail for a debt as these people claim. The attorneys office they claim to be from does not exist. Change your number or ignore the calls. They will eventually get tired and stop.

Just received same message butt in email

I didn't receive a phone call but I did receive an email. I was scared for a few minutes thinking i was going to go to jail, when I started to realize that something was wrong with the email.  The font sizes where all different sizes, it gave a Washington state address but a Washington DC phone number.  I called the number and it went straight to voice mail with an ext. number that was different than the on email. When I Googled the address it was a different guy name for the attorney general.  I then realized it was a scam n just Googled too see who the number belonged to. I will be sending an email to the  attorney general office they claim to be apart of and let them know what Has been going on.

E mail is never a valid way of serving or notifying someone of a court hearing or any legal matter.  Make complaints here also as well as read up on your rights:
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php

Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.  No law enforcement agency is going to cold call you and tell you you're going to jail.  The calls are absurd on their face.  Indian and Pakistani scammers trying to scare money out of people.

Yea me 2

Calls talking about oh the local sheriffs department will be at my house to arrest me and that my social is under investigation .

Got a call saying I committed check fraud and this information would be forwarded to local authorities, I didn't let him talk long before I hung up on him then called back 3 time I told him that I wanted him to send me something legit so I can check and see if this is legit he said he will email me. I never got anything. No worries i know this is a scam.

Just got the exact same phone call and message. Yes did intimidate me from the very start. Knew I owed no such bill. Not even any mail from such people that I was suppose to owe. But did find out is a true scam. Don't do as they ask if you get any of these calls.   Hope all have a great day!

we received a call and a threatening email too about being arrested and that it was the attorney general of Washington !! So glad I looked it up. We didn't answer the phone but a voicemail was left it was a lady saying there was a claim against us and they wanted to serve us papers !! We ignored it and the email!

Hope this helps someone not worry

I just got the same thing is it a scam

Received the email. Said they will contact the police  my work etc, but never said what I owed. Tried calling but no answer. Would like to foward to the Attorney General Office,

Don't bother calling! Attach the email to a complaint filed with IC3, the cyber crimes division of the FBI! Read both BigA's and CWG40's posts also.
