caled today 8 April stating I owe money who are these people

According to posts on Mr. Number it belongs to Johnson and Associates debt collectors.  Number flagged as scam.

Yea they called me today also saying I owe $625 but will settle "TODAY ONLY" for $312. Yhey sound ligit at first but end up sounding like a bad used car salesman. SCAM!!

Rec'd call today stating I owe $818.00 to BMG Financial (a funds backer for pay day type loans) for failure to pay back a loan from 2011. Caller gave me an email address of CarmenAlmazan714@hotmail.com which has nothing do to with me. Caller reported my address as 15123 Brookhurst st, Westminster CA which has nothing to do with me. Never taken out a loan or borrowed money except from Toyota for a new car. They said I will get legal papers served to me from the State's Attorney's Office.  This must be a scam.  I had my purse stolen years ago possibly identity theft.

Remember, when criminals such as these call, make sure they know that you are aware of your rights:
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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 the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
List of State AG’s offices:  http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php

ID themselves as Johnson, Johnson  supposedly located in North Carolina.  No other info given.

Call received 0728 MST to call "Johnson and Associates leaving my name, phone number and ? number for very important message". Company unknown to us. Did not return call.

Message left from "Johnson, Johnson and Associates", the same voice left a message calling from another number a few days ago.
Certainly a scam.

Left message from 1 (910) 444-1349
Wilmington, NC

They said please leave us a message and we will return your call

No number left on vm

Total scam.  Governmental agencies do not get involved in private debt disputes. They do not get involved in serving papers in private legal disputes.  This is a total scam.  BMG is Bahamas Management Group and has a long history of debt scamming or being involved in shady debt collection practices. Ignore these people and block their calls.

Read the Wolfman's notes.

I got a very disturbing phone call by this phone # claiming that I took out a personal loan back in 2013 for $1100. (I've never taken out a personal loan). They asked my to verify my last 4 digits of my SSN and my address (They had the incorrect address which they asked to update their records and I refused.) they asked to verify my last name.  (Which changed because I got married) and my email address was partially incorrect.  I replied that I would not verify information until they told me who THEY were. Finally they disclosed that they were Johnson & Johnson a firm that assisting with a courtesy call to let me know that criminal charges have been field against me. And that notices were sent to the address they had in file and that they could not mail anything else out to me after 3 attempts. I asked how am o supposed to resolve this if I don't have something in writing? The caller replied that it could be resolved by me paying 50 cents on the dollar for what I supposedly owed. I said I am absolutely not payoff cent for something I NEVER borrowed! The caller them advised that she will close the case and that I need to get a criminal attorney because there will be a warrant for my arrest. And hung up! SHE WAS SO NASTY, RUDE, AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I called my husband so upset. And decided to look up this phone number. I came across these posts. It's most DEFINITELY a scam.

They called and did not leave a message.  The caller id listed "unbound 25856"  not sure what that means.

Received a call at my parent's house from "Lola Bell" with "Johnson and Johnson Legal Processing". Said I was being investigated for fraud for an internet payday loan from 2011. She couldn't tell me the amount of the loan or the bank the funds were supposedly deposited in. The name they referred to me as was a previous name from over 10 years ago and the email address was one that I had never heard of. She said the state will send me some papers within 5 days and then I will have to get a criminal lawyer to represent me in court. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN INTERNET PAYDAY LOAN!!!

No n.

Total scam.  Read the other notes.  Fraud is a crime.   Crimes are handled by public prosecutors.  Debt collectors have nothing to do with investigating fraud in any form. No public agency with the exception of the courts in an ongoing legal case can have anything to do with a private debt dispute.  Governmental agencies do  not get involved in private debt collection on the side of one party or another  and debt collectors have nothing to do with law enforcement  at any level. Public agencies do not serve process on behalf of specific parties to a legal dispute.  That is done by process servers licensed to serve process in your state.   Yes, the parties to the dispute sometimes hire sheriff's deputies or off-duty policemen to serve process, but that's it.  In any event no legitimate process server calls you in advance and ells you you are going to be served.  This is scam on many levels.

No one is sending you any papers.  .  Being in ordinary civil debt is not a crime and you cannot be arrested for it.  THis is just an attempt scare you into paying them something.

Ignore them and block their calls.

I got a call today stating that I or someone I may know owe money.

I hung up

I got a call from these idiots this morning with a message that I or someone I know may owe money and to press 1 to get connected with someone now or call 910-444-1349.

You did not resolve this... Cancel that credit card.  You are now on these peoples "dummy" list and they will continue to harass you and sell your name and info to other scammers to do the same.  Sorry you fell for it though.
