This is definitely bogus cause I got the same email and guess what it has the same case number that everybody else has posted. Last time I checked u r given a different case number for a reason!

Just received same email--scam!!!!

I keep getting harassed by these people.  What can I do

The email I received from them had fraud written all over it.    Out of state debet collecters cant sue you unless it is in your own state and theur attorney located in your state.     Notice also no street address

I got the same email.  that had a fake warrant with signatures and everything at the bottom of the page. Claimed the name Mike Anderson, a state attorney, and said he couldn't discuss anything via email but that if I called him he could "help" me. If I didn't comply then I would suffer consequences at my house or job.

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.

Read this investigative report ABC News did on this scam:

Hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans have been targeted by abusive debt collectors operating out of overseas call centers suspected of links to organized crime in India, law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The calls are part of a massive scam, one that appears to target struggling Americans -- especially those who have gone online to apply for payday loans. Armed with personal information from those pilfered applications, the threatening callers, who claim to be debt collectors poised to initiate legal action, have managed to pry loose millions of dollars from their victims -- even when the victims never owed money in the first place.

"This is what we call a phantom debt collection scam," said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. "It's a very pernicious and innovative new fraud."

Working through call centers in India, the commission estimates that the criminals have dialed at least 2.5 million calls, persuading already cash-strapped victims to send them more than $5 million. Some have reported receiving dozens of calls per hour. They are victims like Cindy Gervais, of New Orleans, who went online for a quick loan when her husband's car was hit by a driver who didn't have insurance.

Even though she paid the loan off, the so-called "phantom" debt collectors with Indian accents began calling to say she still owed money.

"He more or less told me that if I didn't pay, they were going to have someone on my doorstep to arrest me," she told ABC News. "And that they were going to contact my place of business, and tell them what kind of person I am."

At first, she said she resisted. Then the calls became more frequent, and started to ring on her cell phone, and at the grocery distribution company where she had worked for 27 years.

"I was more or less in panic mode because he told me there would be someone before noon at my place of business to arrest me and take me to jail," she said tearfully. "So I agreed to pay him."

After receiving scores of complaints, investigators with the FTC said they began tracking the calls, and following the payments. They alleged the payments led them to a California company run by an Indian-American named Kirit Patel, and that such scams would not be possible without American front men.

"I would say that all roads of this scam, or many of the roads of this scam, lead back to Mr. Patel," said the FTC's Leibowitz.

ABC News tracked Patel for weeks, from the suburbs of San Francisco to Austin, Texas.

Patel refused to talk. But his lawyer, Mark Ellis, said he believes it is far too early to pass judgment on his client. Ellis, a Sacramento-based attorney, told ABC News that Patel was hired for a nominal fee to set up an American shell company, and had no idea what the call centers in India were doing.

"I can tell you, he was as snookered by the people in India as anybody," Ellis said. "He's a 69-year-old man who is nearing his retirement who thought all he had to do was set up some corporations and everything was on the up and up. He's completely dismayed that he has become the lightning rod of this entire problem."

A close friend of Patel's also defended him in a brief interview at his home, saying Patel was not trying to defraud anyone -- he was just an unwitting, bit player in a larger scheme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anJ_X8jZx5s


Mike Anderson: ?State?s Attorney Office.  This is Mike Anderson.?

Caller: ?Yes.  How can I help YOU, Mr. Anderson?  I received a bogus email.?

Mike Anderson: ?Bogus email?  Then why you call?  Hmm.  Goodbye.?

Caller: ?Thank you.  You confirmed it.?

Mike Anderson: ?Hmm.  F**k [unintelligible].?

+++++++++++++++++++++++

If anyone can understand the last word(s) Mike Anderson says in the "[unintelligible]" part of the transcript, would you please post a reply?

I received the e-mail which was a kind of notice sent from Mike. He sent me the the copy of the lawsuit on my email id. I paid the charges and inquired with my attorney. It was cleared without any mess in court.

Don't be confused: It's a bunch of con men from overseas trying to commit fraud to get your money.

Stop posting these lies here. Only two kinds of people ever find this web site: People who have been scammed and people who work for the scammers and make false posts to try to lure more victims.

You aren't the first type.

You are a liar and  a cretin. Go away.

They work as an federal body, for IRS cases and I worked with them to resolve it.

I was owing money for this, and i paid in full. I received the receipts and clearance certificates too.

I go the same message via email stating that he has a case against me but will not discuss anythng unlessI call him. The person's name is Mike Anderson who is a convicted felon who served 15 years for federal fraud. Clainms he works for the NY State Attorney General's Office. Emails me a fake arrest warrant with a fake signature of a judge who does not even exist. I deleted the email beacuse he's garbage.

I just got the same email as Lydia and Jolyn and I've also received phone calls from this person.  When I returned the call and told them I know this is all bogus and that if there is a warrant out for me or case against me, I would receive something by certified or registered mail, not a random call.  The person I was talking with hung up on me.  Now they are sending email with a fake warrant.  Warrants are presented in person, not by email so this is totally fake.

I just got that same email and I don't know what the heck it is for. I'm confused.

Seriously... They emailed me and had a fake warrant with signatures and everything at the bottom of the page. Claimed the name Mike Anderson, a state attorney, and said he couldn't discuss anything via email but that if I called him he could "help" me. If I didn't comply then I would suffer consequences at my house or job.
