Total scam. If you call that number, you get someone who'll tell you that he represents the "restitution department of Cashnet." Or something like that. Guy has a Hindi accent so strong you can cut it with a knife.
But it's just another Indian or Pakistani debt scam call.
If you were the subject of some pending lawsuit, you'd receive a letter in the US mail from the attorney for the other side. There'd be a paper trail. You wouldn't first hear about this from some scammery- scummery phony debt collector who cold calls you and starts demanding money.
Ignore these people and block their calls. Hindi accent and 202 area code is a dead giveaway for a scam. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL. They tend to pick on women, single mothers, the elderly and members of the immigrant community.
Report them:
