I call them and use my middle name and I presented to say I'm his brother and would like to get some information on why pretended brother. They figure out that I am one of the same and said that they will tack my phone number and harassed me with an Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt. This is nothing but a debt collector and if they tried to harassed me again I shall report them.

any updated on your problem with this calls , i`m in the same situation

I just got a call from this number with  a threatening  message about some paper put on their desk and failure to call back will result in them sending paperwork to my job or my home anyone having this problem? I just Ignore all the calls...

They are calling my number saying they received civil court charges against someone who used me as a reference. I don't know the person.

The called and said it was Philadelphia police threateneing to come to my place of business. I have no debts so this could not be true. I checked my credit report which is in good standing well over 700 and nothing outstanding. How do i report this illegal harrasment

This number is calling my business phone, and parent's home saying they are going to press charges against me for "wire transfer fraud".  When I asked them to contact my lawyer and debt consolidator/credit councilor, they said "we don't work with them, and we will be pressing charges".  I hung up and inquired about their supposed "debt" with my lawyer and was told (after he did some digging) that this is a scam and their calls should be ignored.  He said they threaten with police action to get people to pay over the phone.  I have been working hard trying to improve my credit score and get it back to where it needs to be after losing my job two years ago and making a mess of it.  How did they get my information?  

Thanks for the information, did not know what to do, Thanks again:)!!!

I received a few calls from a Joseph Allen identifying himself from Jacobsen and Wright. He stated I owed a debt to VC Funding for an old payday loan. They had my correct old Florida address and I may have taken a payday local out from them 6+ years ago. He seemed legit. The county process server called and identified they would be coming to my house tomorrow. I called Jacobsen and Wright, a law firm in Jacksonville, Florida. The woman stated it was a scam. She checked to see they did not have any file on me and no Joseph Allen works there. Be very careful.

received  a call asking for my husband from jacobson stating to call them or they will serve me at my home or work of place. he said something about 1099-c and i have no idea what that is..

Did anyone come to your house I got the same call?

No - it's a scam.  If you were going to be "served" a court summons, you wouldn't get a call - the process server would just show up.

Don't fall for it... they end the message with we wish you the best of luck? Sounds like those old messages i use to get with indian people ........ i fell for it once and paid $350 .... never got a letter or anything stating debt was settled. :(

I'm very concerned I got a call Thursday saying they would be at my house Friday and I came home Friday afternoon to my door kicked in and nothing that we can see taken, would like to know if anyone else had this experience?

Its probably a coincidence in all reality. Most of the extortion scammers are far far away and most are not even in the US. Do file police reports, and as for your extortion scammers, File reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,CFB,FTC & FCC..
