Received a call this morning from "Steve Willliams, Senior Atty", stating that I am being sued for nonpayment of a loan. I have to be in Superior Court in CA, with my criminal atty & my references, tomorrow morning. When pressed, he refused to give me any detailed information aout the "loan", because I "had been sent 15 emails & still hadn't paid"; therefore, he was not permitted to email or fax any information to me. If I wanted more information, I would have to be court with my atty tomorrow morning. When I asked if there was any way I could get any information, he told me that if I agreed to pay the loan in question, while being recorded, he could transfer me to the "restitution team", who would tell me the amount. When I refused that option, he told me the total I supposedly owe, including legal costs. He also gave me his "direct phone number: 424-354-4292." I told him that I assume that when I don't show up in court, the court will mail a copy of the lawsuit to me. He told the that "the court will not mail" me anything, but he can assure me that "the restitution team" will be on my doorstep. At this point, I told him that I supposed they would have the information I'm asking for. He hung up the phone without further comment. The caller was Oriental or Indian; he had a heavy accent.
When my friend called the number than showed up on Caller ID, it proved to be a Time & Weather line in Denver.
