Got a call yesterday from a Mr. Mancini who represented himself as an attorney from the Fraud Division of Tarrant County telling me to pay $883 or charges would be filed and a sheriff would show up at my door. Said it was from a payday loan company and they had me on tape. Also gave this number and a docket number as well. When I threw the questions back at him, he backed off of being an attorney and also backed off of working for Tarrant County. I told him he was full of crap and hung up

A caller left my 84 year old mother a message about a shirt-tail cousin who would be served court papers for check fraud.  There is no co-signing by my mother, but the caller is wanting a callback.  I have no idea how the caller got my mother's name/number to start with.  She is obviously upset.  What is the best way to get off their call list?

I got a call from a Ms. Smith on Wednesday March 20, 2013 saying that I owe money  to a company and if I dont call them back that this will be given to the courts. She also mentioned about a check that was wriiten by me to a company I have not wrote a check for a very long time.  Who are these people and the lady english was well understood.

I got a calls from 214-865-7082 a week ago, they called several times leaving me a voice mail from Ms. Morgan and that I will be receiving my packet. Today I got a call from a Restricted number from Angela (no last name) from Adam's county  telling me I have a check fraud case. She proceed to give me a number to call 855-412-38659. Mind you, she gave a digit too much and a deck number. I called the court right away and there is NO case against me. I decided to enter the number on Google and this is what pulled up.

Got a call from 214-865-7082 stating they were from the 'Claims and Legal Office of Santa Clara, CA.  It was regarding a fraud check against my son's social security number and we better call TODAY or else legal action would be taken.  The number to call is 855-413-8659 ext 123.  The city of Santa Clara would never call regarding any legal action.  SCAM

Look out for Global.  Huge SCAM!  FRAUDSTERS!   See this report on KHOU.com

Report to FBI, FTC, Attorney General

I received a call from this number stating that they were from County Services and I have a case (docket number included) pending for check fraud. They also advised that I should have already received my packet in the mail (which I have not).
They have also contacted my mother. I knew from the first call that this was not legit since the only place I write checks to is my church which are always cashed without incident.

I just got a call from them today saying if I don't go today and get a prepaid debit card and call them back at the 855 number that they was coming to my house to serve me papers. And to be arrested by a sheriff. I ran my name through court records, and I have no charges against me. He called me from a unknown number, and said if I wanted the charges dropped I needed to call Mr. Stallone at the 855 #.

For the first time it wasn't an indian guy. Ive tried to be scammed before. This time tiis identified himself as Favid Kohl from Global. Something about calling to get my statement, they've tried reaching me w/ unseccsessful attemps & that i have 24 hrs to respond and im going to served papets for fraud

Got two calls, one at my cell and one at my office. Identified herself as Courtney Wilkes from County Legal Services. She called from an unlisted phone number but left this 855 number to call and settle some kind of legal issue with check fraud. She even gave a docket number. I do not have any bad checks on me and these people are using scare tactics to get your information and clean your bank accounts. Debts must be validated. These asss*oles have the nerve to call and threaten with legal action, but all will be ok if you call their number and settle. It's time people in this country learn to make an honest living instead of ripping off people. Beware of unknown callers. I let them go to voice mail or reject anyway. And do not give any personal information if you answer.

No!   If anyone knew,  they would be arrested by now.  they are scammers.

Does anybody know who these people are? Got a similiar call & that I have 24 hours to respond

Had two phone messages, telling me I am a co-defendant for someone who I don't even know. He claimed that the paperwork is coming to me after State review and then I will be charged for fraud and it will stay on my credit report. He also said all funds attached to my social security number would be frozen.

Apparently this Mr. Goldstein could not get a hold of me at work so he contacted somebody I knew and harrassed her about a debt.  She says he calls everyday?  This is the FIRST I've heard from this Mr. Goldstein.
He told the gal@ my office; that he would have to hear from me within 24 hours.  He was saying that?s it?s pre-litigation, so he can stop it or something like that.

they called a relative with the last 4 of my social saying he must call in because he is named in a fraud case for me. said they were going to serve papers on him

Calling for my son about hot, electricly signed checks on Service One Credit Union with account # ending 9378 & his name is James Grier, and he is with Nation Wide Process Serving. The number abouve is for the Atty Mr. Goldstein. He said that I had co-signed on the check or contract for service and it could not make it out for sure, but it could be someone else's signature.  They wanted to come to my house and show me the papers and Court Summons so I could show it to my son.  Of, course I had not signed any paper for my son, and I was not born yesterday. I know these people prey on other people.

They can't do that.  No one can be arrested over a civil dispute.  They are setting you up for a scam....trying to get you to call,  in a panic,  so they can offer a God Father type deal to make it all go away...

Read and Heed:

What a debt collector CANNOT do:

?Use deceptive practices. For example, threaten you with arrest or  trick you into paying for collection calls.
?Use obscene language.
?Call you at work after you tell them that your boss does not approve these calls.
?Deny you the right to receive a written notice (within five days after your first phone conversation) that would tell you how much you owe and the name of the creditor that says you owe the money. If you do not receive the notice within five days, call the collection agency and ask for its address and fax number. Then, send a letter to the collector noting its failure to send you the required notice. As a minimum, make a note in your file.
?Refuse to give its name and the name of the collection company when asked.
?Put a debt on your credit report if you file a dispute. It must validate the debt by obtaining a verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment from the creditor before continuing their collection efforts. The results of the investigation must be mailed to you.
