A man alleging to be Officer Washington was looking for an employee.  His accent was very thick.  He says that it was a personal emergency, then an important legal matter.

got a call from this number. the person barely spoke english.could tell reading from script. stated he was tom wilson from the justice dept. i need to call him or my att. of record to call him, and give my info. what a scheme.. these people need to stop,,this is pure harrasment,,hope they all burn in hell..i have repeatly reorted this everytime to the fbi site ans the fcc any many others. the federl att. general off. now leaving messages on my cell phone..

I recently began receiving messages from "Officer Tom Wilson" (at times it sounds like he says "John Wilson")... I do not even know how these people got my cell phone and work number.  He has called 4 times on my cell, and called my work number, and left many harrassing messages similar to those mentioned above.  He's also said things like he will "drag me to court" and make sure I "stay behind the bars."  After I heard that message, I knew it was a scam.  No legit person (or even a person who believed you honestly owed them something) would use HARRASSMENT as a means of collecting information.  It is really aggravating, mainly because they call my job and now have my co-workers thinking I am in some kind of legal trouble - which I AM NOT!  I am waiting for him to call back so I can use some of the suggestions given here (such as asking them to mail me something, and assuring them my attorney will be in contact).

I just talked to "officer tom wilson" when he called my cell phone.  Turns out he had called my sister's phone a few days ago and she told him off!  What disturbs me is that he also calls my job.  I have no idea how he's gotten all of these phone numbers.  He did not even want to tell me what the call was regarding... just kept saying "have your attorney contact me."  I told him that I am the person he needs to be speaking with first, and he said it was regarding a payday loan from US Cash (or something) from January 2010.  I've never taken out a payday loan!  When I told him this he said "Why is it on my desk if you don't owe it?"  I told him to mail me the proof that he has and he actually told me IT IS AGAINST THE LAW for him to send anything in writing.  Just shows how intelligent he is!  Then he told me "Shut Up!"  A legit business person would never use these tactics or this kind of language if the debt was truly owed.  We will see if the calls continue.

these idiots call me ALL THE TIME...from several numbers... 469-821-0335   919-424-5888  347-875-8415  and 902-332-2240  not a thing legit about them...

The call came in on my cell from "911" several times ,message left was that this is Officer Jessica White from the legal dept, from the Department of Justice, several people with the same foreign accent have called from various #'s 530-237-2233;530-589-8181;800-274-4159;and most recently the calls come in on 911. The return call # is 919-424-5888 ext 101. They tell me to have my attorney call or it will be very bad. I have recorded all calls and I am saving them to file a complaint with the attorney general's office. The calls are always threatening.

I have been getting call from this number the last couple weeks, claiming they are from the DOJ and have a complaint against me from Cash Advance something.  I have never heard of this company, and the guys calling me all had thick accents.  This has to be some kind of scam, and I am going to get ahold of the real DOJ and let them know this number is using their name.

Well, they (Tina Walker) called again this month for more money. I told them my lawyer will be contacting them to handle this matter, they asked when and I said today or tommorrow and they said ok no worries and quickly got off of the phone with me. I have reported them to the Attorney Generals Office, FTC, sent them certified Debt Verification Letter (I want to see if I get a confirmation back)and the North Carolina Invesitgators. I also changed my card number... seems like when I mentioned lawyer they were in a hurry to get off the phone. I wish these people will get caught.

I got a number on my cell from 919-424-5888. They told me that I can not return the call but my husband must. They specifically called him by nmae and said he is in a lot of legal trouble. The caller identified herself as Legal officer Nancy ? of the Depratment of Justice.  He is in relly bad leagal trouble that could affect his credit report and land him in jail if he doesn't respond. The lady had an accent that was hard to understand. It sounded like it was middle eastern or something.

I am so annoyed because Tina Walker keeps calling me saying I owe them money.  I wish IT WOULD STOP...I do not owe them money, but they keep telling me they are going to send police to my house and work to arrest me..where do I go from here????

I received an extremely rude and threatening voicemail (6/28/10) stating "This message is intended for kenilah Turner (Me). This is office James Brown calling from a legal department of BCI, that's bureau of crime and investigation and the reason I am calling you is that we have received a bunch of complaints on your name and your SSN. So the very second you receive my message, I need you or your attorney to return the call. Ths issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My hotline number is 919-424-5888. I repeat it is 919-424-5888. Don't try to disregard this message and do return the call. Now if you don't return the call or if I don't hear from an attorney either, the only thing I can do is wish you good luck on this situation as it unfolds around you." I called the number that was left on the message to see what it was pertaining to. I sopke with James Brown who then can me the case number of 0012NS and transferred me to a lady in which I did not get her name. The lady told me that I owed King Stance Finance/Financial for a payday loan for the amount above and that I needed to either pay it or make payment arrangements before 3pm EST 6/28/10 or my file would be sent and I would have to go to court. I then explained that I never received a pay day loan and I wanted the number of the company so that I may speak with them and a letter specifying the debt sent in the mail. The lady refused stating she would violate the law, citing defamation of character, by sending a letter in the mail without the debt being paid. She stated there were 3 charges placed against me and that the company tried to contact me via email, which I never received.

I've been getting the EXACT same message as the last post (nilah) Only he says his name is Jason Hunter. At first they had me so scared I almost did pay them. Until I asked for a mailing address to send payment and he stuttered for a moment and told me he had to have a debit or credit card number or bank acct. He refused to give me an address I continued to ask over and over to speak to someone i could understand and of course I never got anyone. He told me to go to western union right now and he would be calling back in 30 mins. he didnt call back for 3 days. Now he will not stop calling. There has to be something to do to stop the calls other than changing my number.

RECEIVED A CALL FROM A OFFICER JASON HUNTER REGARDING A PAYDAY LOAN, THEY CLAIM I TOOK OUT OVER THE INTERNET BY THE COMPANY NAME OF (US CASH ADVANCE) WHICH IS NOT TRUE.....DO NOT GIVE THEM YOU INFORMATION THEY ARE FRADULENT.

Got another message today. Same man same exact message.

I have gotten the same BullSh**.This guy's name was James Brown..LOL I dont know anyone that is a Sand Ni**** who has the Name james Brown..I told them i reported them to the FBI.As a matter a fact i called many of these so-called Debt collector numbers and always get someone of arabic decent Actually i have been giving it to these people pretty hard verbally..If it was a legit Debt collector they wouldnt sit there on an open line and curse back at you.What a joke.it is all fake.report this scam people.Ypu acn go to the FBI web site and put in a report.The more the better.Lets put these scum bags out of buisness for good

Got plenty more messages the name changed from James Brown to Michael Black and now Shawn White

These same scammers use 000-0000 type numbers and also numbers that are incomplete, you cannot call the number just the one they leave in the voice mail.

Here's what I've found, if you answer, they hang up, try to call it back, it wont go out. The voice mail gives that exact same deep accented message, and they leave a number to call, when you call it they ask for the name that was mentioned in the message.  The fony name is always an English type name but the caller is either Indian or somewhere close to Inda.

The number given to call back was based in Washington, but that doesn't mean the people you are talking to are.  Just tell them you know they are scammers, you know their names aren't real, and that they are being looked for by the secrete service, tell them that the law here states they must send a written bill of any debt with a time peroid to dispute the debt, and then offer to give them the number and address of your attorney to send it to and they will hang up!!!

You did nothing, I know how it feels to have these clowns of evil disrupt a nice day, do not be afraid of them, but don't tug them on too much either, just contact the FBI and give them the information.

Actually the dropdown menu didn't have the choice that I would call them for call type:

They were: A prank caller, A set of Scammers by threat, they didn't actually mention debt collection, just being in a lot of trouble, sounding something like this: (listen for a strong accent): You call me now or I too sorry for evrything your life today, do not ignore this message if you know what good for you....bla bla bla

This must be a scam , they harras my 17yr old, same scenario, we have to put a stop to it i tried to call back , the number is always difficult to connect to. It ios awful they call my work stating they are officers from the crime bureau, i cant stop them, does anyone have any ideas.

Officer Tony Brown from ?? Crime Investigations, called me telling me I owe money to a payday loan company US Cash Advance. His accent is so thick, I can't tell half of what he is saying, except that I owe money from a loan in 2009. I've never gotten a payday loan, money was never downloaded into my bank account. I'm tired of being harrassed!

when you call this number back .. they answer HELLO??? if this is a legitimate business why are you aNSwering like its your home ?? Roger Gibson is calling me about a friend who used me as a reference and HE IS THREATENING ME  with criminal charges  aaaahhh....good luck with that !! .... his accent is so thick i was barely able  to decipher his message .. and the man who answered had a thick accent as well claims to be from BCI .. Bureau of Criminal Investigations... this is not for me and i have advised time and again to NOT CALL ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a call from a person with a thick accent who was actually yelling into the phone.  They said they were going to come on my job and cause me lots of embarassment.  She said she was calling from BCI and left this number.

I got a call from this number. They had a bogus claim that we owed them money. Never have heard of them before.

I just got a call from this number. The guy said his name was Tom Wilson and that he works for the Department of Justice. Sorry dude but I don't believe a guy with an accent like that has the name Tom Wilson. Luckily after he tried to call before, I read your comments so I knew it was a scam. I told him I knew it was a scam and not to be calling my work. I father-in-law is an Investigator so I'm thinking of asking him to look into this. I'm also considering calling the real Department of Justice and letting them know.

Received call today, January 7, 2011.  His name was Mr. Foster.  I hung up and he called back and left a voice mail telling me I am going to jail.

I've been getting this call for three days now! They called my cell phone, my mom's cell phone. They've been calling me using her spoof number, calling me from 911. Same thick foreign accent, demanding I give him a large sum of money to settle my case out of court. Threatening to send an officer to my home and drag me to jail. Claiming that if I don't call him back, "only God and my attorney can help me". Asking me to fax him documents with a copy of my drivers license, social security number and signature. Gave me a bogus email of "departmentofjustice@hotmail.com" I hope no one falls for this.

I have received several threatening msg's from this number.  Someone with a foreign accent claiming to be from the Dept of Justice.  They called my place of employment today and left a msg. for me to contact them immediately, said their name was Jason from the Dept of Justice, same foreign accent.  I have contacted my state att. general.  I refuse to call this person back or give them any information.  I do however with the calls would stop.  Is there not something that can be done?

These people are out and out scammers. Only information anybody should give them is to go screw themselves.

I recieved a call from a indian lady using the name officer Jessica White. States I owe money to their company. I gave her a ear full,informed her to get a real job and she was getting a dime from me.Informed her I knew all about the scams, she was beating a dead horse.
