Guy called claiming i had fraud,  pay day loans, and student loans,  which i have neither,  that total 8000, the authorities in michigan will take me to jail unless i come up with 428.00. After i pay i will be left alone and will receive confirmation to my mailing address. He gave me no information or anything. Wanted to know if this was a scam.

Of course it is!!  Tell them to forward you the information on the debt - that's ALL you say and hang up.  Do NOT "confirm" your address (they'll try and get you to give it to them) or anything else.  If they're really who they say there are, they have your information.  Then use your Caller ID and do not answer again.  Or flat out say "I know your're scamming, good bye" but they often get mad when you do that and then blow up your phone with repeated calling for awhile.  Best thing is just don't ever answer calls you don't know.

Yes, this is a scam.  I reported people like to the FCC just last week.  First, you have to tell them to verify the debt in writing (don't give them your address - they should have it).  Second, tell them to stop calling you.  Third, per the FCC, try and get a US address from them.  If you can do this, you can proceed further action for harassment.  If you can't get a US address, it's not a valid claim/case against you BUT you also can't do anything about the harassment either.  (double edged sword)  Above all else, do NOT give them any information of yours at all!!!

Welp, got a lovely call from a foreign speaking man. Didn't recognize the number so let the machine pick it up. Once he started in with his pitch line on "this is an important legal matter and needing you to contact me...." I quickly picked up the phone and him to STOP calling and remove my number from their scam list. He kept trying to get his 2 cents worth in but I didn't let him. Then I hung up just to have him call back. Answered once again and cut him off in his little speak and told him to stop calling the number because he wasn't going to be getting anywhere with his scam calls and hung up before he could respond. He immediately called back 2 more times and I picked up the phone and immediately hung it up without even speaking. The 5th time he called I once again answered and told him once again to stop calling, remove the number from their scam list and that the person they are trying to get in contact with was deceased. Then hung up on him again. That all occurred in a matter of 10-15 minutes and was an hour ago and they haven't called back as of yet.

this number keeps calling me and i asked them for my social they give it to me but it is the wronjg number and they dont want to hear it they say i am goin gto legal court actions screw them they dont even speek english

These Indian man has been calling me for over 6 months threatening me that if I don't pay I'll loose my job. They in fact called hr at my work saying I'm going to jail, etc and not too much later like a month, I did loose my job after 6 years at this company. The company believed them versus me being hussled. I even asked the security dept to help me. These people are dangerous and nothing we can do. They change phone numbers and untraceable.

They are still calling me and im not giving up one cent! They wouldnt give me any information and said i wouldnt receive any information until i pay them 438 bucks, then id receive confirmation and wouldnt go to jail! Whatever they're selling, im not buying! And nobody else should either!

just got a threatening message from this number, threatening a lawsuit. Scam!

I so love my self I'm glad I googled the number it was so much fun messing with this guy head he had told me that I can get out of the lawsuit by paying him $465.00 I told him that I had an attorney and he had ask it would be highly recomended that I pay or if not that I will serve 90 days for the so called $6,800.00 I told him that I would prefer doing time and that I have done it also before and won't mine in going back and that I had to let him go so I can get down to bussiness and turn myself in and he told me OK very strangely and told me to have a good day I told him it will be along 90 days for me and thank him politely. For the information he had given me you should all do the same thing just mess with there heads and do it with a smile when your talking on the phone, and Have a Great Day.

Just got a threating message from the same number to sue me

Got a call from them at home and on my office voicemail after work hours. Called them back and they asked me to verify information. I told them that they called me and if they are suing me they have my information. He then stated he was from Mckenzie and Baker. I asked when I would see the legal papers, why he won't give me details of the debt so i can form a defense. He stated I did not need that information only my legal counsel. I stated that I had a right to know the charges and he hung up. I called him right back and asked that I have information sent via USPS, asked for the address of his law firm. When he refused to give me information I informed him that I knew it was a scam and that no legal law firm's number showed as 0000 on caller id. If this was a legititmate claim he would cooperate with me in trying to solve the matter. I also said he would not have hung up if he were truly who he said he was. He again hung up on me.

This is a criminal extortion ring operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:

This Indian guy calls and tells me he is looking for my husband regarding an IMORTANT legal matter and claimed to be from Richardson law firm and told me to have my husband call him immediately he began to give me a phone number and I just hung up on him.

this [***] keeps calling me and said he got a law suit against me what can i do to go after this full i owe them nothing

"This message is intended to [my name here] the second you receive this message i need you or your recent attorney of record to return the call. this issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My name is Robin Thomas...don't disregard this message, return the call. now if you dont return the call and i dont hear from your attorney either the only thing i can do is to wish you luck as the situation totally unfolds on you, goodbye and have a blessed day"

A man with an Indian accent claimed he was calling because my name and social security number were filed in a lawsuit in orange county, ca. He stated that he had an affidavit to read to me claiming I violated federal banking laws by not paying american payday loans. If I went to court I would have to pay $8,484.87 I had to ask him to repeat his name 3 times because I had difficulty undertanding him. Finally I asked him to spell it and he did not he just repeated it in an irritated tone. I think it was Steve Sebastian. He transfered me to a woman named Nancy she informed me once the legal fees and late fees were added to the "original debt" I would pay $10,800 once I went to court. She asked me to settle for $793.61 today. I placed them on hold several minutes and looked online to see if this was a scam. It is nerve wrecking to get a call from people like this because I am pregnant and having financial troubles during this time.

hi i got the same message and was transfered over to a lady called nancy as well... so is this a scam?

I just paid them $100.00 and then had another phone call today stating that they were going to serve me with papers even after I paid them on yesterday.  Damn I'm usually smarter than this.  He asked for my work address to serve me with the papers and I hung up on him.
