Bottom feeder scammers posing as collection agents.

Caller identified himself as officer Mason from the Sheriff's office what county he didnt say . He said I must call this number or I would be arrested . Im getting sick of these jerks who think they can intimidate me. What can be done to stop this and arrest them for posing as law inforcement officers?

they told me they were a lawyers office in California and I was going to be arrested within the hour because of a payday loan I have never even took out.  Called me on my cell and when I tried to call the number back AT&T came on the line and said this international call is not allowed.  Thats funny since we were both supposed to be in the US

No one can be arrested for debt. This is a civil matter and has to be handled throught the courts. Judgements and Garnishments are possible for vaild debt, but due process must be completed beforehand. Always ask for verifcation to be mailed to you and never give any information to the caller over the phone, if they are legitimate, they will have current information to send verifcation to you.

I got a call in May telling me they were a lawyers office in California and I was going to be arrested within the hour because of a payday loan.   What happened did you pay them any money?  I did have a payday loan but it was 5 years ago

I got a call from an Officer Mason, not stating what county or state.  He stated that there were several allegations against me and they were going to send officers to my house.  I have no idea what it is about or who he claims made allegations.

I just received a call from this number stating that they're going to be sending an officer to my place of employment to come and arrest me. They're stating that there are several alligations against me and I told them that I had no idea what they were talking about, the guy in the other end started to get hostile towards me. I was polite to the gentlemen but he was really rude to me. All that I could understand drom this guy was that the state of california is issuing a arrest warrent out for me for check fraud and other federal crimes. At first I was really upset. Now, I'm pissed cuz I know that you can't be arrested for a civil matter. What a bunch idiots. I think they should be arrested to impersonating a peace officer.

I have had these folks call me also, and a reference that had been used only one time.. now I do not know if the businesses are connected, however I have filed FTC complaints, on that phone call business, and The only company I used that reference for was a what appears to be a scumbag auto finnance company, who tries to employ bad business tactics, to included: multiple repossession companies, even though they were informed of the where abouts of the vechile that died in the middle of no where arizona, (The reposession folks are almost always the scapegoats for the company, because they do not give them the full information concerning the account... they call references with threats, and even though they know my address, they keep calling the references (Illegale Actions), and they have violated other portions of the FDCPA.  Ias stated abouve, I don't know if the issues are related, however that phone number was only given out to one company.  The Auto Finnance Company that I was dealing with is: WESTLAKE FINNANCIAL.
