These people are Scam artists. They will say they are attorneys with Brown Andrews and Scott, saying you owe them money and if you don't pay you will go to jail. Do as I did and please call federal trade commission and also your local attorney general state consumer. Don't pay them any money!!!! I called the bar association of New York and they aren't attorneys. They aren't even a collection agency. As I understand they are over seas and getting people like us to pay them for debts we think we owe. They will contact your family, you and your job. Know that these people can't do anything other then to harass you  but please put a fraud alert on your credit.

My wife just got a phone call from a Jonathan Swanson who claimed to be a representative of the "law firm" Brown Andrews & Scott.  He claimed that a "client" of his was filing charges against our former son-in-law and daughter for a bad check written back in 2007.  When she explained that they had not been married for some time and neither of them was at this address he started asking for information from my wife about their whereabouts.  She explained to him again that they had not been married for some time, neither one of them lived here, and to please stop calling us, and she hung up.  He immediately called back and I took the call.  At that point he became quite aggressive on the phone, threatening that our daughter would be going to jail.  I asked him why he was calling us since we were not responsible for the debt, and he replied that we were given as a reference.  He also informed me that if I did not assist him I would be dragged into court as a witness.  I tried getting information about the debt but what he told me was different from what he had told my wife (bounced check or cash advance?  One signature on the check or two?).  And he wouldn't be quiet long enough to let me ask my questions.  When I told him I needed him to shut up so I could ask my questions he stated, "Thank you sir, you just got your daughter arrested" and hung up on me.  I will be contacting the Texas Attorney General's office and the Federal Trade Commission to report this.  Even if this is a legitimate debt, I did not realize I could be harassed for a debt I do not owe simply because I know the person who owes the money.

I was Harrased by a lady names MS.MALONE. She threatened to put me in jail for writing bad check and i was told i was going to get charge with 2 felony counts. It was for a pay day loan company that i had back in 2005. I informed her that this was included in my bankruptcy that was already discharged and she said that bankruptcy doesnt protect me from criminal prosecution. She even had my bankruptcy attorney's info and my info. She told me if i dont pay her the same day because I was already informed of the situation that i have to pay her to avoind my charges filed to court the next day. She said that orignal ammount of $2576 was lowered by the lawyer of $1123.79 and i have to pay w/ credit or debit card.I told her i dont have the money but she scared me more and said warrant will be issued for me. I didnt know what else to do so i called my mom she even put her 3 way conference call and told my mom as well the situation so my mom paid the amount because she didnt want me to go to jail as well. this lady was a  piece of work she knows how to scared people. I found out the next day fr my lawyer that i cant go to jail for such thing,i called the original pay day loan here in my state and they were not aware of it or even have knowlege of such company. This company is a scam and they are to get your money. they got your info illegally so you better call the credit report companys. I already filed a complaint thru local police,to ftc, and I will contact the attoney general tomorrow as well.
