Stay vigilant when anyone threatens legal action over a debt you never incurred. Verify the claim by contacting the alleged creditor directly using official contact details, not the number that called you. Never send money or personal information to an unsolicited caller, especially if they demand payment to avoid arrest. Report the call to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and consider filing a police report for extortion. Keep a log of call times, numbers, and exact wording to aid authorities. If the caller claims to represent a rent‑to‑own firm, request written proof of the contract and any recorded video evidence before taking any steps.

Maria was offered a deal to extend services and potentially sell her house at 927 Ohio Street via a test message.
I recieved a call from Betty Lawson from this number saying I owed money to a rent to own company, but I never even rented a computer from them, so I think its a scam and people should be carefull with the information they give
You should make a polic report, bring a copy of this conversation with you, this is a clear extortion atempt, dont give them nothing.
I've recieved the same calls, she's claiming I owe Aarones $3,000 for a computer I supposely stole, but thats not true, she say's they have me on video survaliance, but I'm pretty shure this is a scam.
