Says they are a law firm, and that your going to jail

Well, "your going to jail" immediately identifies them as a scam.  In fact, threatening jail is one of the ways the FTC says you can identify a scam debt collector.  Read here then block the number:

https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/stop-debt-collectors-empty-threats

IF they really were a law firm, they would know you will NOT go to jail - even if you did owe money.  It is also illegal to claim to be an attorney if they are not licensed.

Apparently I have law suit omg how I don't have anything never have I'm disabled

One, calm down.
Two, if there WAS a lawsuit, they wouldn't CALL you to tell you, you'd simply be served (they also wouldn't tell you they were coming to do that either).
Three, this is a scam designed to frighten you into paying money you don't owe.

SAID THAT I OWED 1500 dollars and that there would be a lean against  everything I own and they would take 40% of my pay check.

Issuing a bench warrant..if I don't call them back.. These people should penalized for all the anxiety there causing so many people..

Monica Dennis wanted me to be at an address so they could serve me or issue a bench warrant. Scam

They called my dad and left a voicemail saying I was being sued by a collection agency and that I owed 9 hundred something dollars but they would take half lmao... They called themselves Jacobson Law Professionals... The main "lawyer I spoke with said his name is Ray Jackson!... I'm glad I'm not the only person these people have called... I have reported them to the FTC...

Be it a extortion scam operation or the real thing, reports go to the same places...

Some Tips:

*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.

*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

How to see if your on the chex system list:
http://www.wikihow.com/See-if-You-Are-on-Chexsystems-List

No law firm.  Scammers.  No private law firm has anything to do with the prosecutor side of the criminal justice system.  Ignore and block the call.

Pay attention to Celtic Dragon.

Ignore and block these calls. If you were the subject of a pending civil lawsuit, you'd have received a letter from the attorney for the other party.  You'd have a paper trail.

Then, if a case was filed, you'd have received a summons delivered to you by someone licensed to serve process in your locality.  You would NOT have first heard about any civil law case from some scammery-scummery debt collector who cold calls you and starts demanding money.

You can check this out yourself by simply going down to the local main civil court and checking the defendants civil list.  The court clerks are usually glad to help and are familiar with these kinds of scams.

Total scam.  No private law firm can put a lien on anything.  Only a judge can order garnishments.  Some states do not allow them and other states strictly regulate them.  Ignore and block the calls.

ID themselves as the "Law Center".  Pretty sure they are in Southern California.  Don't know precisely where.  This "Ray Jackson" persona has a long history of debt scamming on 800notes.  Threats, impersonation of an attorney, you name it.  He's claimed to work for a variety of law firms.

There's some evidence he may be connected to

Rancho Cucamonga is home to a variety of debt collectors; mostly shady.

I would like for an investigation into this company. My family members and I have received calls (trying to locate me) about an outstanding account with GE Capital Banking. Mr. James Winton from phone number: 1-855-371-4427 was the number he called from on yesterday. Today he left a message from phone number 1-310-919-0957. He is claiming they will issue a warrant for my arrest for old credit card bill and is seeking a settlement payment in the amount of $1259.00 and can only accept payment by credit card. I call an attorney (get free consultation) and they check into and informed me it was a scam company and not to send any type of payment. I am saving all call logs and the letter he sent to my email address.

They called me and said I own this Bank bill $650 I didn't pay the bill I was going to jail

Another number these are associated with is the one I received July 21,2016 - 855-434-3003, left on my voicemail through my cell phone message barely audible and static stating they were a process company and that I was being served with what I was unable to decipher and to contact or come to their office asap. I called back and got a recording to leave a message. Firstly if you are being served it would be in person by a legitimate process server or by local authorities with paperwork in hand to give to you. People don't be scared into this scam, do what I did report this number to your local police office at least then they can answer any questions you might have. But dont call these people back they will try and get information so they can rob you of any money you may have anywhere you have it. They like to prey on people who have low incomes, the disabled and the elderly. Shame on them!! Also report it here, there is excellent advice posted by others on what to do, the best I have seen so far.
Good Luck and follow advice on this site!

Received offer in today's mail for me to purchase a policy for Medicare coverage for dental and eye care.  This is the phone number that was on the mailing.
