I have been getting calls to my cell and my work from this number. An "urgent" message was left on my machine to call them back "ASAP". The caller was for sure foreign. I finally called the # back, and I got the same spiel that I have been reading from others....there is a warrant for my arrest, if I don't pay them $480 then I will owe over $8000, they are going to serve my work and I will lose my job, I will be put in jail for 7 days.....At first I panicked. He did have the last 4 digits of my ss#, then I hung up on him and told him I would give him no futher information. As it so happens, I am a Court Reporter and I work for a Judge. I had an actual attorney call the # and try to get to the bottom of it, and he was cursed out and hung up on. This is NOT how a legitimate business behaves. I did take the precautions of reporting it the credit agencies, but I have enough stress in my life and I am not going to let some foreign idiot make more. I can assure you that this is NOT how it works in the judicial system, and ignore these idiots. I am with a gentleman who posted above....we really need better immigration laws. It sucks to be a hard working, law-abiding American and get calls like this!
