I have had multiple calls from this number. I dont answer numbers I do not know. They have never left a message of any kind . If they do and it is legit I will call them back....until then I will not!

I receieved a late evening call on my cell. Didn't recognize the  number so I didn't answer it. They left no message so I googled the number and found lots of complaints on various forums like this one indicating its some fake law firm posing threats if you don't pay something, seems to be some scam.

Strange thing happened not long after that call was I received a direct message via a twitter account to my fone... I'm usualy cautious about who I give my fone number so I found this suspicious.

It was from " @geek_ola : Hi someone is making very bad rumors about you... [included shortened url] "

I used a separate non related computer (not my fone) to visit the url and found:

Suffice to say I blocked the twitter account for @geek_ola  (no clue who it is but their twitter account seems to be used for spamming so I reported that too)

Not sure why any lawfirm would be contacting me about any outstanding debt, because I don't have any outstanding debt or unresolved payment issues.  I'm categorizing this as spam and phishing

I never give my number out.  Out of habit I gave it to Radio Shack when returning an item.  I have had these people call me numerous times but with no one on the line.  You can go through your phone company and set it up to block the number.  Moral of the story, never give your number out to a business they will sell the number quick!

Who are these people?

I don't know I just got left a message from Sasha John telling me to call that number.

My family got a call from number, same deal. I looked into it and it is a scam. Report Report Report...

Where do we report these calls to.

can someone explain to me what part is the scam..... i was called about a debt i actually owe.... my personal info was verified.. they had it allready... my previous address... ssn...birthday.. i will note that the address they had was not my current address ... it was the address i had when i initially opened up my account...  was told i was being taken to court to get a judgement against me... which made a little sense.. that the restraining order would be put in place during court in attempts to keep me from spending bthe money in my accounts.. googled that info and you actually can be issued a temporary restraining order that would do just that...what part is the scam...im reading mixed posts and info.. some people have said they are going through court.. dont want to pay a scam but it just doesnt sound like one... what should i do

Same as the others. Caller named lisa mill calls to say i have 24 to 48 hours to respond to the case. She goes on to provide a case number and says that i have a pending legal action against me
( restrainig order).

I was called on my sister number that i used to live with over 3 years ago..  Same thing i need to call this number within 48 hrs or i could be arrested..  SCAM!!!  i dont even have a credit card..

I received this same call - that I had some sort of restraining order and that I had to call within 24-48 hours.  Not only that, but they offered me a settlement.  I also checked the account number they had on file for me and it was the wrong account number.  Everything else was correct - nearly to the letter.  I asked for information and they told me that I had to send the payment first and then they would send me information.  (Red Flag).  I called and spoke to them several times and they kept saying that it would be forwarded for  Subpoena!  But I never got served any papers or anything.  I know because I was already in the middle of a lawsuit and they gave me 30 days so I know that that was another (Red Flag). Then I actually was about to pay the money Western Union, but they said I had to pay a person - not to a company and that it was a new technique since others did not work.  She was in Cleveland, OH and goes by the name of Nichole (Red Flag). I was not able to make the payment online (coincidentally) because Western Union could not verify my number.  (God intervenes) I called the woman back since she was supposed to be leaving by 6p and that I had to get the money by that time.  I asked for her - Maria .  The woman who answered said she was not there.  Then I spoke to her letting her know that I was trying to make a payment and then she said - "Oh, I am Maria .  Someone has been playing on the phones.  You can call us tomorrow." - Something to that affect (Red Flag).  

Nonetheless, I was about to make the payment today - but decided to do some research first.

I'm going to check with my attorney on this one before I go a step further.

I just reported it to the FTC.  If it's legit - fine, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Confirm with the card company that you owe money to that the people that called are working on their behalf.  The call I received was about a credit card I've never had.  I called the bank and they confirmed there has never been a card set up in my name.  I would double check before you give out any money.

Received call 11:35 am on Wed. Feb 9 2011.  Caller ID blocked.  Voice message listed as Unknown was a woman  calling herself Jennifer Wilson. Message was for my daughter, telling her she needed to respond within 48 hours to a legal action that included a restraining order.  Left my husband the same message.  Did NOT call my daughter.  Daughter returned the call, was put on hold.  Told her to talk to no one and to hang up.
