I received a call as well.  I googled the number and the internet shows some place for costa rica vacations but their message said something about a case against me.  I am not calling back.  This doesn't seem legit.

Yes they called here at my Moms house looking for me.  Hey losers and scammers get a REAL job!!!

I also got a call with message from this number referring to a case number and that I need to call them. It is totally automated, my name, the case number and the number to call have the computerized voice. It seems like one of the many scams out there. I am not going to call them back. They also don't identify the company or anything.

I also got a call from them. They said the payday loan I paid off in 2013 accrued interest and I need to pay that off lol. I said i sent you all an email stating this loan has been paid off. He then said no ma'am that was not a payment . I then said do not call this phone again and I hung up. I wonder how they get these jobs and if they really get money from people. They almost got me but not this time.

I just got a call today. They say its some kind of law form. And that i have a case number and they will send paperworks to my place of work or something and will press criminal charges against me. I mean who are these people? Why do they threaten me? I dont remember doing anything illegal

You didn't do anything illegal.  If you were being sued, you wouldn't receive a vague phone call.  You'd be served a court summons via process server (or sometimes via certified or registered mail).  The threats are illegal.  The threats are also bogus.  Debt is civil, not criminal, so you cannot have "criminal charges" against you, even if you did default on a loan.

Per the FDCPA, you should not pay any caller who refuses to mail - do not accept email or fax - proof of debt/proof that they have the legal right to collect said debt. Refusal to mail this documentation within five days of their first contact with you is another violation of federal law.

Follow the steps in what you need to know. A legitimate debt collector agency should not have a problem with giving you a real business name and address you can google and verify via google street view, BBB etc.
For extortion Scam Operations, file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

And folks should consider looking at maybe getting call blocking device or phone....you can Google them and many are around $60 or so.

Recvd a call from these lowlife losers last Monday. Now another one, from a different number, of course, now giving me an hour to call back. Now, two hours ago, calling me now saying they'll issue a warrant for my arrest. Really? You'd call me? Lol for real ppl. I know times are tough, but don't scam ppl out of their hard earned $. Btw, debts civil, not criminal.Tell those "cops" I'll have a nice meal waiting for them when they come. Lmbo
