Claimed they are are law firm. Politely, but firmly required a callback "prior to then forwarding my case to their pre-legal Dept". Collector???

Like Doe, they claimed they are calling from a law firm. Politely, but firmly required a call back within 72 hours in order to discuss issue before moving forward in some legal CIVIL case.  Called the number back, it sounds like they answer but nothing is said nothing is heard in the background.

The had all my personal Information and told me they were filing a complaint against me for fraud and that I would need an attorney. They also told me since I could not pay the judge would charge me for fraud and it is likely I won’t be able to get a job.

Claim that a civil action has been filed against  me says to call in 72 hours and they knew the last 4 digits of my social

called my cell phone 2xs left a message saying about a claim out of Jefferson county??? what state i have no clue. Did a stupid thing called the number back, it rang like 40+times no voice message to leave. So thinking that they left a message with someone I know had them call same thing. No answer if it was a true law firm they would have a answering machine or option to get a hold of people. true professionalism right therefor this scam.

Bill Herman with the office of Holland and Roberts contacting(?) you in regards to a civil complaint here in the office. Requesting that I make a recommendation whether or not to file for litigation or to contact you to see if we can resolve the matter voluntarily about issue a final statement or take advantage of any of the out of court arrangements are available. I would need immediate return call. My number is 8-667-440-5621 at extension 307

scam- any hacker can get your full name address and employer from almost any information website, they try to threaten you into calling them back and giving out banking information. Any legit company wouldn't leave messages as unprofessional as these scammers. Also if you call back from the number they called you, and it just rings and rings its an automated system logging your information from your phone if you don't have the proper security on your smart phone.

Lisa is on point also a law firm will send you a letter. These are scam collectors. Anybody can get your last 4. Some times they purchase your debt from another company for cents on the dollar.

Let me add these fake firms will use real law firm names. The numbers never match up to the real firm. A real collector like i mentioned before will send you legit info. You can also look at you credit report on a free site like credit karma and see who currently owns your debt. For the most part if you're getting calls you have a debt or use to have a debt. These fake companies get the info by hacking those systems and posing as that company. Never call these companies.

They tried to scam me into paying them $1,000 by threatening a bogus lawsuit.

Yup same thing with me

Do not return the call. I got another call from this number. They left a message using a different law firms name. This is a scam.

said the same as all the other callers stating I owed money and this was lawsuit they even had my ssn . this is a racket said the tried to send me letters and I ignored them

This is really crazy I payed the first payment last month I called the number from a different number and it’s a cable WiFi company

First of all, no law firm will call a person "honey" when telling you that you need to call back regarding a legal action in Los Angeles county and that if I do not return their call, they would have no choice but to proceed further. If this was true, they would have sent me a letter. I am so sick and tired of these damn scammers. It had become more common place than chicken pox. I have blocked this number.

2nd attempt, civil lawsuit trying to contact my ex of over 20 years lol. umm yea ok. Pre-legal dept will take action next allegedly.

Pre legal review and litigation in next 30 days blah blah blah.... I can’t even find the law firm lol

Did you ever receive a judgement notice? Cause I made the mistake in calling them? And Lenore levitt is who I spoke with. And he threaten me and talked crazy and everything!!!

Did you receive a notice from the court that there was going to be a hearing and did you ignore it?  Did you receive a notice from the court that there is a judgement against you?  Have you contacted the courthouse to find out if there is a judgement against you?  If you answered no to all those questions then the only thing you should be doing is calling the local courthouse (which may be closed) to find out the answer to that question.  This is a debt collection extortion scam.  The more they can scare you the easier it will be to get you to pay them money to make it "go away".  Extortion does not work like that.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
