I Received a phone call from this number.  The person also claims he was with the New York State Financial Crimes Division and his his name was Craig Orther or Ortner an attorney.  Well two things wrong already, one this division does not exist in the State of New York and two I contact the real attorney that he stole the credentials from.  The real attorney has been made aware of this fraudster and claims the whole thing is a scam.  I quizzed the fake guy quite a bit.  His version of law is wrong on so many counts.  People if you have a felony out for you, no one is going to give you a courtesy call and let you know of it; you will simply go to jail.  So do not be scared of these people.   I called my local police department and let them know of this fraudster, they also ran my name in the system, as expected I do not even have a speeding ticket to my name much less criminal charges.  The way the law works is you will get a bill, you can dispute or ignore.  If you ignore you will be hounded by credit agencies usually the bottom feeders such as these.  If it is for a huge amount they may take you to court, but you will receive a l summoned first; there is a process.  This group are fake they could not answer anything I asked them.  They are calling on a VOIP internet line as well; notice the so called NYC attorney has a southern accent a bit funny huh?   The police department suggested calling the Attorney General's Office as they are impersonating their organization and agents.   After that I would keep good documentation.  I feel that the real attorney has contacted this group by now I would be surprised if this scam continues on much longer. The police recommend filing a report with them and having your phone company aware of the situation as to block their numbers from incoming.   The police also said if they call mention you have spoken to law enforcement and that they are not allowed to contact you from this point forward unless they can produce a bill and follow the fair dept collection act.  Good luck everyone!

A gentleman called me and told me he was an attorney from the States Attorney Division out of NY. The name he gave was Craig Ortner and he advised me that I had to felony charges against me which resulted in a judge signing a warrant for my arrest tomorrow. He said that I had taken a loan out for Cash Now back in 2010 and never paid it back and I was being charged with fraud. He even went as far as giving me a case number. I called my local police department and spoke to them and they ran my information and said that I have nothing on my record, not even a summons being sent out to me to report for court. Since this so called warrant is supposed to be signed tomorrow I will go to my local police department and get a report of my criminal record which has nothing on it. The police office said that people like me that does not have a criminal record are the ones that they pry on because we have never been in trouble before.. People like this make me sick...

Does this person say he works for the attorney general's office in the state you live?
