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 from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, 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 in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:

An Indian woman who could barely speak english called me earlier today stating that if I or my attorney didn't call their office back today that they would "see me in court" and if I didn't respond all she could do is wish me "good luck". Thank you to all of you who posted on this telephone number. I will not be calling them back.

I also got a call today, saying that i was going to be arrested. I called my local shariffs office, they told me to change my back acount number and report it to the ftc. They also told me to ingore there phone calls. This is a scam!! be careful!

They called saying they were going to arrest me.they said im being charged in court and they will see me there.

got message from scott miller today saying i failed to pay online loan and that the co was suing me and i was going to be arressted either today or tomorrow. i was in a state of panic-i never owed them the money and they dont even service my state. scary though i thought i was going to be jailed for something i didnt do. thank god i see this is a scam

yup, he sd the same thing to me after he then tried to confirm all my information..he only had my name and my social...but my birthday he had it wrong, he also had my address correct, and threaten saying that if i dont appear in court within 45 min i will be issued the police for my arrest. he never bothered to say anything about the city and the which court, and he sd the place that he had this information told him not to give out anymore information until i surrender and go to court... he never mentioned wat firm is he working for, a code, or anything...

i just got the same fone call that all of you had described up here. i pickd up the fone and then he askd to confirm my name and last which was true, confirm my social which he got it as well, and my birthday which he got it wrong..and sd that i had applied for a loan online and that the loan has issued me a check through direct deposit (which i dont know how is that possible, cuz my acct has been closed for a good minute now) and sd that the loan is now pressing charges on me due to the money i suppose to pay bak but the due date has passed. and then he sd the police also has gotten this information and i should be in court (which he didnt tell me the city only the state) and sd that if i dont show up in court in 45 min the police will be issued out for my arrest. he sd he couldnt give out any more information concerning this issue. i calld my husband and scared him off. i was shaky at first cuz this is my first time for a scammer to call me and mention me going to jail but coming on this website and reading all this stories about how this scammer does hi job, i feel a bit relief and ok now. thanks to u all for reporting this and making it easier for others to get thru it..he didnt mention what firm he was calling from, wat city and county court am i suppose to be and got my dob wrong

I recieved the same phone calls that everybody on here has!! Scott Miller was the guys name, when he answered the phone he would just say "Can I help u?"...not the usual "Thanks for calling the law firm of So and So!" That was the 1st give away and the 2nd was he had mine and my girlfriend's information all mixed up and 3rd was his accent came out bad when he got mad cus I wouldn't wouldn't give him any more of my information!! What a scammer!!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft ? charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.>

THIS GREAT ATTORNEY WAS TOO STUPID TO REALIZE IT WAS A COURT HOLIDAY TODAY AND SAID I WOULD BE ARRESTED BY 4PM.  i CALLED THE POLICE AND FILED A REPORT

Received phone call from this number claiming that either or my attorney needs to return the call.  The matter was time sensitive and I would be arrested.  These types of messages have also come from other various numbers with different area codes.  All have a foreign accent and is difficult to understand at times.

Stay Strong: dude if you are a Guy or Sweetie if you are a Lady!

I am not Sought out by this Scott Miller Son of a Goat F****ng Nymph, but he is looking for 1 of my Colleagues. he is Sleazy, Sneaky, & Scott, if you see this, I am Danny. You know where you called. Come get me Face-To-Face! To all other readers "Scott," has hassled, he will also get a 3rd. party like me & say the Sought after recipient filed a Case with a Firm: The one he used with me was "Thomas & Marsh," but it was a Bad Cell Connection, but it could have been some other Firm. So he plays Ball this way, too!

I actually took a call from this "Specimen."

Message to Scott Miller: Women that Drive convertibles, {Alone,} Listen to Led Zeppelin, {Achilles's Last Stand is a classic,} That Love Sex out of Wedlock, {Especially one's Tongue doing the Tango on their C***,} in Tube Tops ROCK!!!

I also received the same scam call.

Got a call on my cell today stating I owed Quick Cash $630...i asked questions and he answered them: SCOTT MILLER at Thomas and Mark's Law Office of Fullerton Californina  714-888-5616. he did have my personal information correct, but couldnt answer anything i asked and was very RUDE.  Stated I could send 350.00 today Western Union to RAY RALEIGH ST. LOUIS MO. and just call back with the 10 digit number.  I am a single parent, and this scared me to death!! Thanks for all of the posts letting us know that THIS IS  A SCAM!!  I am very greatful!

Same man gave me a call saying that I would be arrested for check fraud money laundering and theft of funds from Quick Cash Advance and it scared me to death. So I looked up the number he called from (714-888-5616) and found all these complaints saying that it was a scam. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR POSTING I feel better now knowing it was a scam. So all look out for an Indian man named Scott Miller with a bad phone connection and is also very rude.

Did he  tell you that you were going to jail for fraud and numerous other charges?

I just got a call stating from an attorney office and I need to call ASAP or face court and jail immediately, was an Indian guy with terrible phone connection.  I'm not calling back, they can eat my s***.

Got the same call today saying that i took out a Quick Cash Advance and that they attempted to collect funds from my account three times and now i was being arrested for worthless checks and fraud. It is a scam. I contacted my lawyer and he said this was a scam.

Just got a call from a women with a very bad accent almost didn't understand what she was saying - something about my social studies and being arrested at my physical address so I am now calling my local police station.

Same deal.  Pretends to be an attorney saying there is a criminal case against me, and I would be arrested for the investigation of that case. Scam
