I am sure they are not a law firm.  Normal law firms advertise their offices. These people are just scammy debt collectors out to scare people into paying them something.  Don't fall for it.  Demand a debt validation letter be sent to you by US mail.  E-mail no good.  Otherwise block their calls and ignore them.

Report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.  If you can find them.

Total scam.  Warrants are only issued by judges on the basis of a showing of probable cause that the person named in the application for the warrant has committed the crime.  They are only issued to duly constituted officers of the law and are only served by duly constituted officers of the law.  They are only used in criminal cases.

Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.  In any event debt collectors have no influence on the criminal justice system in any case.  Threatening criminal prosecution to collect a civil debt is against the federal Fair Debt Collection Act.

Robert anderson agency trying to claim I have an out standing payday loan. These people are not real debt collectors. It's funny they think they can scare people into paying them money they aren't owed and defiantly don't deserve. We aren't buying it Keri Ann!! Get a real job and quit scamming for a living!! I hope you get caught and I hope everyone of the people you call each day harassing tell you off. Happy Days in h e l l to you and all your minions!!

Got the the same number has called me several days in a row. The robot call sayes the same as the rest of you guy's got. It is a scam for sure. I have not had a bank account in over 6 years. I only use my pre-paid debit card.

Got a call from 844p559-8328 about returned checks.  What the deal!  I was a banker for 23 years just recently retired.  I definitely talked to my current banker, we pulled credit reports and discussed this with my attorney.  This is a big time scam. No unusual activity on anything.  I did not return the call and do not intend to answer any of their calls.

this anderson is kepp colling and claim the i old for pay day loan for 2010 and said the is going to file a complain and take the money for mi tax return if i no pay 1500.00 dollars  in 3day ,

Gypsy9148 it's  a scammers to steal your money don't  fall for it

Do not pay anything to this person. He is a scammer. Ignore these calls, don't answer if they call again and do not call them back.

Another "warrant" scam threat.  Ignore the call an block it.  Civil debt is civil.  Warrants are only issued by judges to duly constituted members of law enforcement and are served in hand by duly constituted officers of the law and are only used in criminal cases.  Being in debt is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  DIME  until the debt is validated.

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.

All empty threats.   Debt collectors can't file "complaints" in any sense of that term.  There's no way a debt collector can "take" anyone's tax refund.

Ignore the calls and block the number.

My mom and i got the same call at the right around the same time today. My mom called them back and was put on hold no one ever took her call.

They called me yesterday and twice today,He left a msg and said it was about returned data from my bank. i called my bank and they said probably scammer. they want banking info so they can take all your money. in my case i am broke .but he wont get my info from me.

Someone call me on that number too and then say I take a loan for 400 now is like I didn't pay it back now is 20.000 I have to make a payment give my credit bank

I just put one already I need to add more I never take a loan and there say there pay my bank for me when I went there the bank say they don't know what I'm talking about.so that mean those people try to play I let god do you all.we work to hard for or money.if that happen again I'm going to police station.

Read the other notes.  This is a total scam. DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING. Ignore them and block their calls.

I just got off the phone with a "arbitrator" from this Law Firm said her name was Melissa Wilgis.  Says I owe from payday loan 3 years ago,  I do not.  She also said her "client" set up a $1500.00 retainer fee for her to represent them.  I refused to set up payments. so she says she can take from my taxes and will be filing a lawsuit.  When I asked for her to send me something in mail she refused. Said she didn't have to because original payday company already notified me 3 times back in 2011, which I never got.  What do I do?  It sounded so legit.  Has anybody heard back from these people when you refused payment.?

She gave me an address of:  Robert Anderson Law office, 10336 S Western Ave.  Chicago, IL  60643 from same phone number

Hi, I received the same phone call last week. I told them, I have never taken out a payday loan & asked the lady what I need to do to take care of this. She directed me to her manager. I talked to him, he said I needed to send a copy of my bank statement for that period proving I didn't have a deposit for the date in qty. Talked to my husband, he said things didn't add up. They had my husbands last 4 digits of his SS#, last 4 of our checking acct., they knew what town we are from. They threaten us that they would garnish his wages 1st. Received another phone call this morning, telling us we've been notified in a threatening manner, we have until 8pm tonight. I called bank, told them everything. They told me sounds like a scam. If these people were able to take money out of our account, they would have already done it. He also told me that it's tax time, so they are calling lots of people right now. they target the elderly a lot, it scares them. he told me not to worry about this, legally they have to send a written letter first.

Total scam.  And the address they gave you?  A TAXI SERVICE!  http://www.yellowpages.com/chicago-il/mip/obriens-taxi-service-8595989

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
