I just got a call from a rude Indian Man - with a thick accent - all I could understand is something about pending legal charges - with the State's Attorney - and I needed to call Attorney Ed Maxwell immediately at 916-629-4643 - then something about 123.   This was the same freaking number that he called from - no answer, of course.    I did speak with Ed Maxwell's office - they said it is a scam and to report the call to my local Attorney General.

This phone number is likely used by terrorists, the police should investigate it. They disturb lots of people and the caller from the phone number should be arrested at once! The man use my social security number to threaten me. FBI SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE CALLER

Honestly this is a f**, calling a business is against my company policy. Oriental man claiming to be John Smith with SS office, I asked for his number, it took him a while but he gave me this number.  When I told him I am the owner of this company and if you call again, he didn't allow me to finish, he hung up on me.   Bahaa, who got who! Really go f+@#$ yourself I don't have time for this nonsense.

This number started calling my job today and it sounded like an Indian or somebody because he had a heavy accent.  I asked him why was he calling my job and all he kept saying was he needed my attorney's number because a lawsuit had been filed against my SSN.    He would not tell me what company or how much I was supposed to have owed so I told him not to call my job anymore and hung up.  He called back and I don't know how he did it but I have 2 lines with the same number and the phone would ring 1 time on each line back and forth, back and forth.  When I answered he yelled at me why did I hang up on him and I told him if you can't tell me exactly why you're calling, then I can't tell you anything either.  The last time he called and I picked up the phone I told him I was going to my Security Office to report him.  He called 1 more time  but I did not answer.  He called my job today 15 times.

I received a message today from a man with heavy accent (Indian) saying his name was John Bright.  His voice mail stated that I need to call back the "very second" I got the message. When I called back Attorney Maxwell answered the phone and asked for my number. I knew he had it but I gave it to him anyway.  He claimed there were 3 legal claims against me. I told him no there weren't. He asked for my attorney's number to fax some "supposed" documents but I requested they be faxed to me and he wouldn't do it. He said that I should have gotten some emails and I didn't. When I told him that I had already contacted the State Attorney's office, he told me "You do that" and hung up. He also told me that the police would be bringing me paperwork after 6pm today. (mindful who in the hell serves you paper after hours????) I have already faxed a complaint to the Georgia State Attorney's office now I'm on hold waiting to speak with someone.

I just received a call from this number and the man spoke very bad English with an Indian accent.  He said I had to pay money for a lawsuit and he was informing me about it.  When I tried to question further, that I had never had a lawsuit or gotten any paperwork and who was making this claim, his English was so bad that I could not understand him. He read off the last 3 digits of my ss number and asked me if they were correct and I said no.  Is this another scam?? Called at 8:05am CT which would have been 6am California time.

Indian man called, threatened legal action, said I had criminal charges pending. I mean really, I've never even been to California. I started getting these about a week ago from the most random numbers after I investigated the possibility of a payday loan. It's even funnier because my credit is so f-ed I couldn't get a loan for $20, yet I am in trouble with the law for not paying them back. These idiots really need to get a day job!

Hi I also got a phone call saying that this man was an attorney and that they are charging me with three counts one of them being check fraud. The other two counts i didn't understand. He was very rude and told me that he was sending an officer to my work to serve me these document saying that I need to appear in Los Angles California and that I need to get an attorney. He had an Indian accent and on the voice-mail  saying that his name was something else and then changing his number. so people please be aware that this is a scam. I called the San Jose Police Department the officer that i spoke to said that attorney can not send police to serve you any type of papers at your job or home. The officer also said that it was a scam and to google the phone number. The officer also said that i will most likely get another phone call  trying settle these three cases by sending money western union and if i get a call from this fake attorney that I have called the Police Department and was told to hang up on them and then hang up. So everyone i urge you to read my message and not send any money to these cause i would not want you to be apart of there scam. PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE AND DONT BE SCAMMED BY A SCAMMER THAT IS PROBABLY OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

I just got a call from this man with a HEAVY foreign accent that said that my social security number has a lawsuit against it and if I do not return his call by today then all he can say is good luck. He called my cell phone while I was at work and I didn?t answer and not even 5 seconds later he called my work number repeatedly. I answered the first 2 times and told him that if he had any information that he needed to mail it to me. He would not listen and kept talking. I told him that I would report him if he called my work again and he called another 5 times. Finally someone else in my office answered my phone for me and took his info. He said his name is John Williams and that I will be taken to court tomorrow. I called the number back and it just went to a voicemail box that just beeps? no talking? go figure!!

Have gotten numerous (5 in a span of 4 minutes) calls from this number asking for someone named "Wayne"  have told them that he is not at my number and to please take my number out of there system.  The person calling said that he needed my name to take it out.  I told him I was not going to give me my name since there was not need for them to have my name.  He said then he wouldn't take my number out.  I then made up a name just to be done with it and he questioned the name I gave.  I just ended up hanging up on him since he would do as I requested.  Not sure what else I can do other than ignore the calls when they come in.

I got the call from the same person about an hour ago. I knew it was a scam because that means it would have been 6am in California. Plus the man with the accent couldnt't tell me where he was calling from and who he was representing. I kept pressing him for information and he got upset. He told me to call a lawyer because I had three pending lawsuits and I would be getting served at my job. Clearly this is a scam and I have now blocked him.

I received several calls within minutes, I kept telling him he was scamming me and hung up.  Finally he said on Monday morning when you are arrested you will see and they will take everything you own.  Then he hung up on me.

The calls are not coming from California. They are coming from India:

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:
