I have been getting calls from this number for months.  I let go to v/m cause I have no idea who it is and have been left several messages that I have missed a court date and need to call the judge asap before he issues a bench warrant in my state for arrest.   when I called back it rang and rang then finally it was answered beeped and hung up on me.  wth?? now that I read the comments on this number I will report it.  ugggghh!!

I got a call today from the same number and they didn't leave a message. It is most likely a scam!!!!

Caller from this number left a message on voice mail (sounded like she was reading from a script) that I am a primary suspect in interstate money laundering and an arrest warrant would be issued if I did not call 360-362-4723 back immediately.  When I looked this number up it belongs to law firm Walch & Peters LLC in Bremerton, Washington; Dominican Repubic and UK.  

I also received a machine message from these people. Don't really know how they got my work/cell number! I so sicked tired of these dump A$$, and have been dealing with these kind of issues for about two years know. Even blocked unknown calls/800 from my cell. Seriously, not sure what else to do.

I just got a call from a guy with a fake ugle Texan accent and said I would have an arrest warrant out for me if I did not pay.

I was told the exact same thing. Informed that I had an outstanding payday loan with Cashnet. I dont have any payday loans and informed them. He cursed me and hung up. Foreigners. I am going to call Cashnet. Plus put a tracer on this number.

These people are messed up con artists who will take the last penny of a dying 90 year old woman if they have the chance.  This is is how I have learned to deal with these people:
1. Call them back, speaking in a British accent.  Tell them you are very concerned about the phone call you received and you don't want to be arrested.
2. Call them back, speaking in a redneck accent.  Say pretty much the same thing in the redneck voice.
3.  Call them back, crying hysterically.  Tell them a family member just died and now you can't believe you're being sued.  Bawl loudly into the phone, gasping for air as necessary.
4.  Call them back and repeat a lot of 1-word phrases in a toddler's voice, then without warning, start bawling and screaming at the top of your lungs.
5.  If you have a dog, say or do whatever gets it excited and makes bark incessantly, and hold the phone up to your dog's mouth.
6.  Call and go "Uuuuuughhhhhh" then flush the toilet.
7.Call and play the demonic G major version of Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball at full volume.  

After these 7 steps, you should never receive a call from these people again.  In fact, they will likely be praying you never call them.  Cheers! :)

Woman (with moderate Middle Eastern/Oriental?) accent called to say ' you have missed a scheduled hearing in ?????. Washington last week, if yor do not call the judge at 3602624723 immediately. the jury will issue a warrant to local police for your arrest'.  There is so much wrong about this from a legal standpoint, no further comment needed.  Call originated from 5856435160, which is an East Rochester, NY number.  

I continue to keep get phone calls stating a warrant will be issused against me.   I am not sure why these people are keep calling me, when I called back I only got the answering machine.  I called this number back several Times to confront these people, but never no call bk or response.  They leave messages like  they are going to issue a warrant out for my arrest.  I don't know what the reason behind this so I think these people need to be reported to the BBB.  Better Bussness Bureu need investigate these people  and arrest them for possible fraud.

I got a call yesterday about some loan and I could not even understand what these people are talking about. They claim that you could be arrested for this. I did not answer it.

This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.

ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/phantom-debt-co ... ory?id=16512428

I got a message saying I had "three allegations" against me and that I will be arrested and need to call back as soon as I got the message. It was actually pretty funny because the beginning of the the message was cut off so there was really no context for what he was saying. He also was trying to do a Texas accent when he is very obviously from India! These calls are usually annoying and stupid but I really loved this one, it made me laugh!

I received the same call yesterday stating that they have emailed me many times and if I didn't pay they will download the charges so that I could get arrested.  I told the guy Shawn Davis to send me something in writing and he said he would email me the documents of the judgement and his Indian a** never did they are full of s***!

I had a message today.  Except the beginning of it was cut off.  I could barely understand the phone number to call back.  What I did get was the same thing everyone else has complained about.

They called me yesterday didn't even sound like an actual person sounded a recording.  They stated that if I didn't pay this money they was going to have a warrant issued for my arrest  you would think they learned their lesson they tried this with me before stupid people.

I got a call from them again today. they have called me before in the past. I kindly just curse them out and they will hang up on me. Its so sicking. They will keep calling and calling. I ignore them now until I get annoyed and then will call them curse them out then they stop calling for a while. You would think they are smart enough to delete the numbers of the people who know they are full of crap!!

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

? filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim?s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims? relatives, friends, and employers.
