They gave me a message talking about grievance.

They told me they have a legal case on me and I'll be arrested.

Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.
The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.
The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.
The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.
Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.
Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.
Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

they call threatening me...voice recorder leaves messages

same msg; called a few people i know...scared my kids...

I just got the same message stating they received a legal case against me, I will be arrested and see you at the court house.  
Foreign voice -  no real information left - SCAM!

Left message saying they have a case against me and see you in the court house. REALLY!!!!

received two calls from this number.  One at 7:30 am answered it and they don't say anything.  I said Hello twice and complete  silence.  I told them not to call again and that I'm reporting this number.  Then I hung up.  On my caller ID the name comes up Eddie Network, then this number.

Indian law/debt scammers.  Indian accent, mild, but I caught it and the background noise of a call center. Ignore and block the number.

I received a call from this number stating that there was a legal case against me and that I would be arrested at home.  And that they would see me in court.  As far as I know there is nothing legal pending against me and I think I would have had some documentation if there were.  This is a prank call.

Received call at 4:28 today.  No response when I picked up but they left a recorded voicemail threatening arrest.  It asked me to call the number for more info.  I called the number at 10 pm out of curiosity even though I was sure it was a scam.  It went straight to a generic computer voicemail.  I doubt a legit company would allow that.

Same thing on my answering machine today at 12:18 PM PST.

Just got call saying we would be arrested

Received call from 714-464-8046 with same message. I called number back and person with accent answered saying John Hill law office.I told them I was inquiring about message left and then was disconnected. I tried back but message said person on phone. I tried numerous times but nobody picked up.

They called my mother threatening to arrest my mother if she did not pay 900.00  I filed a complaint with consumer financial protection bureau    Consumer Financial Protection bureau number is 800-677-1116

just got a call from 714 464 8046 saying I had a legal matter against  me and when I called back they said I owed over 8000 to someone but they wouldn't say who and they would see me in court and every time I would call back they would either hang up on me or wouldn't answer. they really didn't like it when I said I thought it was a scam

someone left a message with this phone # stating that along with a bunch of other garbage they "will see us in court"

a message was left on answering machine saying they have legal case against me and i would be arrested at work.  i called and spoke to a alan brown so he said and that he was w.law firm of john hill. they were looking for a tina smith.  almost same message as people above have stated.  think i will call consumer financial protection bureau too!

told me they had court papers against me and I'm going to be arrested from my home..
called back & they would not identify themselves. just kept hanging up on me.

So why are they wasting their time and money calling random people with the scam and then hanging up on anyone who calls the number?  Makes no sense at all!  Is there any way we can pay them back?  Give them their own medicine?  The phone message is really scary if you are, say, a 95 year old woman living alone.  They should be punished for this stupid scam.
