Just a note - I received a call from this number (showed up as "Unknown" on my cel phone) - when I answered, a "trying to sound" official woman basically gave me the same spiel, "docket number, legal action will be taken against me," etc. When I asked what do I need to do to get this taken care of, she said I could pay a the amount owed (never would say who the money was owed to) with a small fee (total of $850). I then asked her what would happen if I didn't pay, she said a warrant would be sworn out against me and I would go to jail and never see my family again (she actually used those words). I hesitated for a minute and then asked her "Where?" She replied, "What do you mean?" I then asked her, "Where would I go to jail - could I pick the city/state? I really need a vacation and I would love to go somewhere I've never been before; Hawaii, maybe!" She didn't say anything and a couple of seconds later I heard a "click" - hopefully she won't be calling back. I've had other bogus companies call with their spiel before - if you answer with something that throws them off guard, they usually will move on to someone else. I've used, oh, I'm sorry, she's my sister - she died in a horrible car accident just two days ago, or agree to pay the money and when they ask for a credit card or bank account number, just start with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - about the time you get to 7 or 8 they get the idea and hang up. GOOD LUCK!!!
