This person calls and says that there is a law suite and warrant for my arrest

i also was threatened from a person with an accent saying there will be a warrant for my arrest. Horrible people in this world

This is the second call in a month from people trying to scam. The first was a different number. Have you called that number back to verify?

Magic jack phone call.  Most likely some sort of Indian or Pakistani  IRS/law/debt scammer.  Ignore the calls and block them.

I also just got a call from this number stating that got a warrant out for my arrest i called the number back and they said it was an attorney generals office.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Man with accent says he's from the attorney generals office and says I will be arrested in 13 min if I don't call back.  I called back and he said their is a warrant out for my arrest if I don't pay $795.85 today or I can go to court in california.  I don't even live in that state!!

Got a call from this company. It was a voice recording saying there was a warrant for my arrest. I called back and the message said "The magic Jack caller you are trying to reach is unavailable." Yeah, because any district attorney office or law office would be using magic jack. SCAM

Crazy call for my arrest ! This is a bad joke ! I do not wish to be called again

I keep getting calls from these type of numbers, saying I have an arrest warrant and to call back or I'll get arrested in 13 minutes. Not funny at all.

Same thing - couple of calls on my home number, threatening. Indian scam or something like that. Imaging if some senior person get  this call - heart attack is right there!
F_ckers!!

This has to be a scam. If someone was going to have you arrested in 13 min why would they tell you? Dont know why I even received this call but its not funny!

I called number back after being threatened with first a warrant then an arrest. This is the conversation:
them hello
Me: hello
them: this is um attorney general office
Me: I said really what Attorney General office answers with a hello and um? I told him I was calling my attorney if they called again and he started making crazy sounds.

Definite a SCAM.

this guy call me and tell i a law suit againt me for 550.00 and if i dont paid i will go to jail for 6 months

Called And Left Message That And Arrest Warrant Was Issued Against My Name And If I Didn't Contact Attorney  Victor John I Would Be Arrested In 13 Minutes And GOD Bless

Got a recorded voicemail from this number with the same crap. This is attorney general and if you do not call Attorney Victor Jones in the next 30 mins you will be arrested and God Bless. What a sham! Added to my block list.

I think theses people are nuts. They leave messages saying that they have a warrant for my arrest. He said his name is Officer Peter Brown. And that I to call the attorney journal office and ask for attorney Victor Jones.
This is nothing but a scam.

Was left a voice mail saying I was being contacted from attorney generals office "Victor Jones." I called back and a man with an accent said they had a warrant for my arrest.

Me: OK, under who's name is this warrant?
Him: Under your name ma'am.
Me: Specify the name, don't you have a file where you can look that up?
Him: Ma'am if you don't take care of this you will be arrested. We will show up to your house and verify your identity and take you into custody there and then.
Me: I have the right to ask questions and I do expect answers and obviously you can't provide them to me because this is a scam. The district general attorney for the state of California is Kamala D. Harris so if you are planning on scamming people get your fact straight!

He started getting defensive and yelling at me so I hung up the phone. Tried calling back a few days later private they don't accept private calls at all so I unblocked my number and no answer... Magic Jack number is unavailable.

This number call my phone. Do not know my name. Something to do with arrest.

I received a call from 916-554-8699 -man spoke english telling me he was from the general attorneys office  ???that I should not ignore this call because I was going to be arrested.  I called the number back ...knew it was a scam - 2nd call I got on my machine at work - so I called, a foreign male voice answered "hello" after it rang about 8 times. Yes, the end of the message was also  and God Bless ! I would really like to call and tell them I am from the FBI and the number was reported.
