I got a call from this number two days ago. I did not pick up and they did not leave a message.
Today I got a call from 718 887 9125. The two calls were similar in that the callerid on my phone did not show a name or the message "Private" but a long number: V08031603330037 today and V08011522010037 two days ago.
Today I picked up the phone and the caller demanded to speak to a member of the household but he would not identify himself as anything other than Mike.
We are fortunately not dealing with any $$ problems.
I've spoken to my service provider and they've told me how to report to the police.

They are scammers. Don't answer their calls.

DO NOT trust the story Dordia Johnson wrote about these people resolving a legal issue. It's a lie. That person is one of the scammers who called you.

Just recieved a call from this number, I don't know if its still the same scam but they asked for the person who pays the con-ed bill. I asked who was calling and he gave his name (clear english, most likely not outside of the country) I don't remember what he said it was, but he wouldn't give any more information than that and when I asked if I could take a message (for my Mom, she pays the bill), he refused and stated he would call back. Has anyone else gotten any calls like this? I don't know if it was a scam, it just didn't feel right. I just don't understand why you wouldn't say what company you were calling on behalf of.

Thank you!! My thoughts exactly!!!!

You can't be serious. You must be one of the people on the other end of these harrassing and illegal phone calls given the fact that even your written English is broken.

I received message on my voice mail from this number 347-602-4551 regarding the legal case file on me but i don't take it seriously.So after few days some of the cops and investigator came to my house to arrest me and i was totally shock.So after words i call this number which is a legal department and there i found Officer Mark Jackson & Kevin Johnson who really help me to take care of this issue. And i am very thankful to them.

Thank you for your advice Alfalfa. I just got another call from Hooper. I stand corrected the company is Legal Dept. of National affidavit legal services. I ran it through intelius, it comes back to a land line, which belongs to a Mark Jackson Xo New York Inc. Bronx County. I will be notifying the authorities.
| Alfalfa 2009-05-03 18:08:41 Debt Collector |
THIS IS A SCAM! IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY THEM, CALL YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMEDIATELY!
Here is ec's post with the goods on these crooks:
These crooks alternately pose as debt collectors, federal and state law enforcement officers, lawyers and bankers. They use any number of phony official-sounding names such as US National Bank, US Legal Investigation Bureau, Hopkins Law Office, Morgan Associates, White Collar Crime Unit, Department of Crime Prevention, etc. And, as Alfalfa's message above indicates, consumer credit advocate Bud Hibbs believes this particular scam is just another Ted Ellis Crosby operation. (Previous Crosby scams include Ellis Crosby & Associates, Bass Prelitigation, States Predisposition Services, to name a few.) The Florida Attorney General recently obtained both a $1.3 million judgment against Crosby and a permanent court order forbidding him from ever engaging in debt collections in Florida.
Though there have been many 800Notes reports about the US National Bank/White Collar/Affadavit Process scam before Crosby was shut down in Florida, the number of complaints about it skyrocketed *after* Florida shut down Crosby. An interesting coincidence that suggests that this could be another Crosby scam but with a twist: considering the scammers' thick accents and very clumsy English, the calls probably originate offshore.
If your attorney wants to look into this, he or she may want to contact the Economic Crimes Division of the Florida Attorney General's office -- http://myfloridalegal.com/contact -- to get whatever information they have on Crosby.
One thing for everyone to remember is that anytime someone calls you demanding money to prevent your arrest, it is ALWAYS a scam. No debt collector (let alone criminals posing as debt collectors) has the authority to have anyone arrested for anything. (And it's illegal for them to threaten such a thing.) And since these dirtbags routinely impersonate law enforcement, it's also important to remember that American law enforcement officers aren't in the business of debt collection. What's more, debt is a civil, not a criminal, matter.
The bottom line is, these are criminals trying to steal your money. I suggest you do all the following (most of which you can do online):
1) The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for protecting the country's financial infrastructure and payment systems from international and domestic threats. Call or write your local Secret Service field office to alert them to the details of this attempted extortion. The addresses and phone numbers for the local Secret Service field offices are listed at http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml or in your phone book.
2) Alert the FBI at https://tips.fbi.gov Be sure to tell the FBI that you are being targeted by extortionists over the phone and give them all the details.
3) File a complaint with your local police. Most police departments will take a report over the phone. Be sure to tell them that you're being targeted by an extortionist and give them all the details.
4) File a complaint your state's attorney general, the contact information for whom is at www.naag.org
5) File a complaint online with The Federal Trade Commission at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01
If these crooks call back, promise them nothing, pay them nothing and tell them nothing other than that you know they're a scam and that you've reported them to law enforcement. (And be sure to report them to all the agencies above each time they call you.)
By the way, here's just a few 800Notes links with reports about similar scams. Read the reports and you'll see the same pattern time and again -- phony official-sounding organization names, foreign accents (most of the time), and dramatic false threats of arrest and lawsuits.

US National Bank Scammers Still Extorting Hapless Consumers
"US National Bank" is still at it, calling up people and threatening them with jail time unless they pay up for debts they never took out and USNB doesn't own. Here's K's story of how "Harry Wilson" called him up screaming and yelling. But after speaking to a consumer lawyer, K learned what he needed to say to get the extortionist to stop phone-harassing him. You'll learn too after you read the story inside...

On 4/29/09 I received a phone call from this number and a foreign lady was on the other end when I answered and then we got disconnected. On 4/30/09 at approx 3:30 pm my work place called and stated that a Dennis Hooper called and stated there was an affidavit against me and to call this number. Also, on this date my sister received a message on her answering machine stating the same thing, my son also received this message on my home phone at approx. 4:10 pm. My son also spoke with Dennis Hooper who informed him there was an affidavit against me. I was out of town for work purposes on these days. Dennis Hooper also called from this number 516-717-1625 and left a message with my son.
