Got a call from this number yesterday. Individual stated they were an agent with the DOJ. This is a scam people. Be careful if you get a call like this. It's a scam to get you to pay money to "avoid" a fine. No legitimate agency is going to call you like this and threaten to arrest you.

You already know it's not the police - you've been contacted by scammers.  If your husband was involved in some investigation, the police don't call and say you have x amount of time to go to the police and turn yourself in or call a phone number.  The police just show up.  You have nothing to be scared off - the scammers can do absolutely nothing to you.  Please do report the caller to the FTC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.  You may also want to give your local police a heads up too - I'm sure you're not the only one getting these calls.  Block the caller's number(s) - you can ask your phone service provider to do this if you're not sure how.

Just got a call, came up as 911' officer spencer said my husbands name came up in an investigation and if he doesn't go to state police office or call agent miller at 823-423-4016 he will be arrested at home or office.  The number isn't even the state police number.  This is scaring the crap out of me.

I got a call to buy this person Officer Miller so I went to the San Leandro Sheriff office. They called the number for me and got this Miller person on the phone. They kipped   telling him send over the papers to us we have him in are office he cannot leave.  He did not. They asked him for his badge number, he could not answer. They said its a scam we do not call people about stuff like this. We just come get you. 813-423-4016 fake. I want to find this person so I could scare him real good. I look like DOBO from the Friday movies.

Debt is civil, not criminal, so no one is going to be arrested, even if they did default on a debt.  Also, law enforcement is not in the business of debt collection, so a police officer or FBI agent is NOT going to be calling you about an alleged debt.  More info on this scam here:

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.

Received a message from "Officer Watson" stating he was from the California State Police. Said my name and SSN# was under investigation for fraudulent activity and that I needed to report to the nearest police station and turn myself in or call the Department of Justice at 813-423-4016. If I failed to do so then he would have no choice but to arrest me at my home or place of work TODAY! Googled the number and found a thread of exact same thing happening to other people. I was relieved, to say the least, that it was a SCAM, but annoyed that this was even happening to other people!

i also got the same call as you just now with  this agent miller. I called the department of justice California office and they said its a scam.

I ALSO RECEIVED THE EMERGENCY 911 CALL FROM DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYING I NEED TO CALL AND RESOLVE A WARRENT FOR MY ARREST ABOUT OWING MONEY. I NEEDED TO PAY THEM OVER THE PHONE OR BY MONEY TRANSFER OR GO TO JAIL. THE MAN HAD AN ACCENT THAT WAS SO THICK I COULD NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND HALF OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING. THIS IS MY 3RD PHONE CALL WITH THIS SAME STORY.

Here a web address to file a complaint with FBI internet :http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx - please read over the
" Internet Crime complaint center"     info first. See if, this something you want do - It up to you - just a suggestion to file a complaint on these people - and do not sent him any money on walmart green dot card, you will never it again,  (  http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx )  . wish you the best.
read everything before you you fill out anything - you might to google the (  Internet Crime complaint center ) for complaint.

So I called the number back and some d-bag answered and i told him I was with the Denver Sheriff's Dept. This guy freaked out and said he would stop calling LOL

Have had this happen numerous times. The first time they used my name and now they are using my husbands name. It is a SCAM. If you happen to answer tell them you are reporting them and they will immediately hang up and not call you back again.
Nothing to worry about. They do not have warrants for you, and they will NOT arrest you. It is a way for them to scam you out of money.

Don't do anything. It is a scam. My husband has had it happen twice. We have spoke to our local state police department and the real local FBI for our state. It is NOT REAL. If they were truly from the FBI or State police the # would come up with that area code. The first time it happened, it scared us beyond belief. So I completely understand what you are feeling. With God behind me in this post, IT IS NOT REAL. Do a little investigating. Be safe and good to one another. Blessed Be...

Caller claims to be Office Gibson or Watson. Claims warrants are out for the arrest, money is owed. Directs us to go to nearest police department and turn ourselves in. Calls our place of employment and personal cell phone.

Identical to what just happened my wife. To the letter.

Such craziness!

Got the same message .  Obviously a scam of some sory

received this message and spoke to the foreigner, Office Watson from ........  I kept asking where he was from repeatedly because his accent was so sick I really couldn't understand.  He finally said no.  So I told him I would report him to the FBI and I hung up they left a message earlier said he was from the DOJ.  Go on FBI website and there is form you fill out.

They did the same thing to me

They have been calling me for days saying that I applied for a loan and when I said didn't apply for one they called from a different number saying they were going to arrest me

I received the same call from and Indian sounding man named officer Watson.  How do I report this?

I received the same call again today. Same message. But the voice sounded different. I saved both messages. They said the exact same thing as they did yesterday. I called them back yesterday and when they answered it never said the company and when I asked for officer miller. It was the same person who called and left the message. So its one person pretending to be 2.

So what did u do it has me scared

So what did u do I have got the same call and don't know what to do

I didnt answer the call and they left a message saying my moms name and that she was being accused in fraud that to call agent miller or to go to the nearest police department and the funny part is that we have received other calls by the same person saying that my mom had won some money

1/21/14 was just called 911 form a officer Watson  that my name and ss number in fraudulenlty  in a investigation for owing $1700.00 for bank and then to call department of justice and asked for officer miller

Ignore the caller - they're scammers.  Please do report the call to the FTC, FCC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.

Officer Watson called from 911 asking me to call officer Miller at the department of justice. Saying my name and social security number have been used fraudulently and I should go to the nearest police station and turn myself in or call 8134234016 and ask for detective Miller about an on going investagation. And then said "good luck".

Called me saying they are a federal agent ansaid i owed over 4,000 dollars to a us national bank

Calling saying they are a federal agent
