Was told to call this Number by 12:30PM on Monday or i would end uo in jail. Called this number and asked for a Leo Walters. Told the man with a heavy Indian Accent that I knew they were fake and that the state and local authorities including the FBI were involved and that i was recording the conversation. He proceeded to say if you think we are fake prove it. As I have recieved numerous calls from another saying that i woed this money and would end up in jail for a loan that i did not pay for fraud and a bunch of other BS. I did report those calls and this call as well. I suggest anyone that is recieving these calls to report the call to the FBI as it is over the phone which makes it a federal case as well as if they have your ss# and banking info call and put a red flag on the credit bureaus they will watch your credit. These people are scammers as i was informed by the FBI

I've received similar calls, both at home and work - guys with a HEAVY eastern accent. Says I'm going to jail, the whole nine yards. When they first called, they refused to provide me with any documentation as to who they were collecting for, etc. They would only release that to my lawyer. I'll be calling the local branch of the FBI to hear for myself that they are a bunch of scammers, just so I have the info in my arsenal the next time they call.

i was also told that i was gonna have 3 federal warrants out for my arrest if i didnt send them money or update my information,i went to the police station and was told this is a common scam,but they keep calling my work several times daily.

this seems to be the same scum that started with 216-393-0456 and several other 216 area code numbers.  It looks like they now have several 410 area code numbers.  They are phishers

I was first getting calls at work from a 925 number a James Camerron, same thing we are going to download a warrant (download a warrant)if you don't pay this. He kept calling my job after being told by my boss not to call. A few weeks went by and nothing now Im getting calls from a Mark Stanley of eastern decent it sounds like. I have not spoke to him because he is told I don't work there anymore. He told a coworker that he was a legal proffesor and I have landed myself in legal trouble. He asked her several questions even for my home phone which they do not have. Im not giving them any money but the harrasment at work has gotta stop, I've reported them once but it does not seem to help. They do not play by the rules.

Kept asking for me daily.  Said that he was Leo Walters and that he was a Senior Legal Affidavit Processor and that i had legal problems.  Could or would not give me any information that made since.

It's a scam, of course. This same group of foreign scammers call from offshore under many numbers, such as this one: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-925-262-1327

Their hilariously clumsy attempts at concocting legalistic-sounding phrases such "downloading warrants" and identifying themselves as a "legal professor" is typical of these incompetent foreign bandits.

Debt collectors -- let alone criminals posing as debt collectors -- have no authority to have anyone arrested for anything. So if these foreigners call you again and demand that you pay them money, laugh in their face, hang up and report their calls to your local police, your state's attorney general ( www.naag.org ) and the FBI at http://tips.fbi.gov

And remember -- whenever someone calls you and demands that you pay them money to prevent yourself from being arrested or prosecuted, it is ALWAYS a scam. Always.  So turn the tables on these criminals and report them to the law enforcement agencies that I listed above.

Good luck!

I got a message on my phone at work from a Jack Brown, when I called back I talked to a John Smith. These people have a very heavy accent and don't have much thought in making up names.

He said he was collecting on a bill from some bank back in 2005. I guess if you owe a bank some money they won't try to collect from some collection agency that hires people that can't speak English or make up stupid names, they need better imagination.

The area code is from Maryland.

He told me he wanted to fax paperwork to my attorney - I don't have one.

He then told me they would be filing charges against me in my state, I told him to come on.

Call received last week from "Steve Martin" from the "Legal Affidavit Office" regarding a case being downloaded and excuted that day. Asked what it was about and he said he would need to read an affidavit and I was not to interrupt.  He began "US National Bank was bringing forth three charges one for violation of banking regulations, another for collateral check fraud and the third for theft by deception."  I asked again what he was talking about and asked for information in writing about this supposed matter.  He again told me he needed to read the affidavit and I was not to interrupt.  I hung up.  They continue to call...and call....and call.  How can I stop this - they are calling my work and creating problems.

It's a scam, of course; they're just thieves trying to steal your money. There is no US National Bank, and even if there were such a bank, banks don't have the power to charge people with crimes in the United States (that's the job of prosecutors, grand juries and attorneys general.) These morons think private businesses in the U.S. can issue arrest warrants and charge people with crimes because they're foreigners calling from overseas and have no idea what the law is here.  Their ludicrous attempts at using meaningless phrases like "downloading warrants" would be funny if it weren't for the fact that they are trying to steal your money.

Just remember this: no debt collector (let alone criminals pretending to be debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. Also, it is ALWAYS a scam whenever someone calls you and demands that you pay them money to prevent your arrest.

Here's what you should do as soon as possible:

1) File a complaint with your local police. (Many police departments can take a complaint such as this over the phone.) Be sure to tell them that you're being harassed by an extortionist who is calling you at home and work and threatening you with arrest if you don't pay him money.  File a complaint each time they call you.  Filing a police report about this is important so your employer knows that you're being harassed by criminals; you may want to ask your employer to help out by filing a police report if and when these crooks call you again at work. (By the way, if this were a real debt collector you can tell him to stop calling you at work and, by law, he must comply; but since these are criminals calling you, I seriously doubt that they would feel compelled to abide by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)

2) File a complaint online with the FBI at www.tips.fbi.gov  Include in your report the same information about how these crooks are constantly calling you at work and home and trying to extort money from you under threat of arrest.

3) File a complaint with the consumer protection division of your state's attorney general. The contact for each state's attorney general is at www.naag.org

4) File a complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

5) If these crooks call you again, just ignore their threats and tell that you know they're a criminal operation and that you've reported them to FBI and your local police.  Once they know that you are aware that they aren't legitimate, I'll bet they cool it for awhile or stop altogether.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Called my work and left a message with the same info.  3 criminal charges against me.  I would be arrested by 11 am tomorrow morning if I didn't respond.  Very thick heavy accent using strange made up legal terms, downloading charges, etc.

Also called my home and left a message that this was extremely time sensitive and the guy's name was Michael Edward. He wished me luck if I didn't call him back and told me the situation would unfold before me.

I gotta hand it to 'em -- their goofy threats sure are melodramatic. See my message above for information on reporting these clowns to law enforcement.

Again another at work. Michael Edward again but this time calling me Erika Smith. Give me a break. He now says the case will be downloaded to me. They can't even keep their story straight.

They called and said they were leo walters with a thick as hell indian accent.  I know there game so I played along acting confused and demanding.  I tld them to come and get me and he hung up saying "just wait and see, just wait and see"

I was told the exact same thing on 3/19/08.  I asked Leo to send me documentation of the alledged suit.  He said the it was illegal for him to send me this information.  Tried to intimidate me.  I told  him that if he won't provide me with the information, he had better not call me at work anymore.  He kept calling and i kept hanging up.  These people are very annoying.

If he calls again ask him "Don't you have a snake to charm?"
