OK EVERYONE HERE IS THE EMAIL FROM THE ATTORNEY I SPOKE WITH I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL, LIKE I SAID DO NOT LET THIS PIECE OF [***] BULLY YOU!!! YOU HAVE RIGHTS AS WELL!! TAKE CARE ALL OF YOU!! :)
I left Mr. ‘Officer’ Jeffrey Hall a voice mail, and he returned my call almost immediately a few minutes ago. He is supposedly going to email me the documents referencing the alleged debt that you owe. Once I get the documents, I will forward them to you for comment and response.
You should know that there is absolutely no way this individual can legally have you arrested for a civil complaint. Further, the proper procedure in a criminal check fraud complaint is to petition the local or county district court to issue a bench warrant for the violator – not for an alleged retired police officer from Dallas to call the alleged violator and threaten them with arrest and incarceration. He simply has no jurisdiction over you whatsoever. I highly suspect this guy is running a scam operation.
If this is a debt collection action, the proper legal procedure would be to serve you with a summons and complaint, whereupon you would have 20 days to respond in writing. What this individual is doing is in violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, for one thing. Additionally, if he has intimated that he is a retired police officer, he has quite committed the crime of impersonating a police officer, which is a felony, and he has used interstate communications to do so, making it a federal matter.
If I can get some information on Mr. Hall’s whereabouts through his e-mail address or otherwise, I’m going to contact the FBI and/or the county authorities in his and make them aware of this impersonator.
