These scumbags called my brother today asking for me, claiming to be a law office stating I have a warrant out for my arrest.  They magically neglected to mention the name of the "law firm" they were from.  Absolutely pathetic and disgusting, not to mention highly illegal.  The Caller ID spoofing is a nice touch and also a federal crime because it violates FCC mandates.

Yes - heartwarming, isn't it?!

Looks like the scammers are suffering hits to their income streams.

I guess YOU need to get your facts straight - this phone number is tied to

Looks like the caller is "spoofing" a real businesses number - gee, I wonder why they'd do that, unless they're trying to scam people!  So why don't YOU get your s*** right before you make a comment.

They called my brother looking for me about a bogus court date. I was mortified. I don't have a criminal record and my bills are paid. They never called me directly, however, and I've had the same phone number for more than 10 yrs. I never give my brother's number to anyone so I have no idea how they got a hold of it. They are very shady and I can't believe they are getting away with that type of harassment.

I later found more info about this sham company:

A man named John showed up at my door one morning looking for my son. He said he just wanted to keep my son out of jail. My son said he had not done anything. During the same time period my grandson also received calls from John telling him the same thing. My son and grandson have the same first names. Turns out, someone with the same first and last name as my son and grandson had done something in another state and they were trying to set a court date. Neither my son or grandson had ever been to that state. John has been harassing me, and them, daily. I do not need this stress. They should qualify their leads before terrorizing a family.

I've been receiving 6 to 8 calls from this number.
