    I hope you are not paying these people any money at all. They will not stop bothering you. I have collected 32 phone numbers from these scam artists so far and it always the same. Someone is downloading a case against me I the county and if I don't call they say I forfeit my right to council. If you ever do speak to them, they are really mean and try to scare you. Do not give in. Demand they mail you a formal bill and tell them they must do so within five days of their call. I now have a Call Blocker and I do not answer when these clowns call. Unless I am in a good mood, then I answer and when they begin speaking I just yell and scream non-stop into the phone until I can't help myself from cracking up laughing! These guys are the scum of the earth and should rot in hell for the way they steal from honest, hard working people. They are pathetic.

    I have received multiple calls up to 194 in 23 hours Jamaica  California Texas New York Florida, Missouri  on and on ALL times of day and night, sometimes up to 4 in a minute!!!!! The other morning it was 6am I answered the phone WHO THE HELL IS THIS?  Told them I was reporting to FBI, and police, and anybody who would listen, THEY STILL HUM AND HAW around and wont stop They have left threatening messages. I am reporting all calls, and hope it becomes part of the suits where they have to pay $100 per call to each person they called

    I see your point.  If we forced collectors to be licensed as was the law in the 1980's it would help the situation.  I just don't see any other way to stop the scam unless the police actually raid the call centers.

    I see your point.  We need to make egregiously fraudulant emailing and telephoning a federal crime just like U.S. mail fraud is.

    Good response about making them send you a bill.  I told them that and they sent me an email that looked like it was written by someone that had not passed the third grade.  Although it was threatening.  It's like they don't know what a bill is.  All they say is give them money or they will download an arrest.

    Your message was excellent.  But how can you keep from calling your job and your relatives.  Most employers don't want that kind of trouble even if it is not your fault and even if they  have the wrong person.  I have paid them 4 times already and they still call me every year, and if I don't pay them again they call my job.

    Your message is correct.  But does anyone know how to stop them from calling relatives and work.  If you pay them, they want more, if you block their calls or blow a whistle into the phone, they call your work or relatives.  They try to get you fired by calling.  They use untraceable magic jack phones so you can't call the police on them even in their own country.

    I think the death penalty is the only thing that will stop people who are this bad. Deporting them is a bad idea.  We need them locked up for the rest of their life. To the justice department, where is justice?
