It’s odd how often the same script shows up, promising to freeze accounts, seize tax refunds, and threaten court action over a phantom debt. The pattern points to a classic extortion scam that relies on fear and the misuse of personal data. Hang up immediately, block the number, and never provide payment or personal details. Report the call to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and consider filing a police report if harassment continues. Verify any alleged debt directly with the original creditor—don’t trust third‑party callers. Keep a log of calls and share it with authorities to help track these scams.
Some guy left me a voicemail saying they was doing paperwork about a judgment against me, and I had to pay somme due cost and accounting cost, I need to come in ther by August 11th, or they will freeze my asset, it sound ridiculus
A call was received with a voicemail that was difficult to understand due to mumbling, and upon calling back, the representative claimed that accounts and tax returns would be frozen, but when asked to slow down, some information about the company was obtained
some guy called and told me he was going to freeze my bank accounts and tax refund.. he was talking wierd, sounded like he was talking through is nose.
These guys dont mean absolutly nothing, you dont owe them anything and if you pay them then the extorsion will go on and on, tell him to go ahead and sue you for two reasons, first, it wont cost you one single penny to countersue them for FDCPA violations and second, because when they do it will provide you with their company name, adress, their lawyer's name, adress, and BAR number so that you could serve them that countersuit, watch how quick they give up.
My son sent me a text message, sayin it was TCS, but i tryed to get the adress and they wouldnt give it to me, insted they gave me a name and a phone number, the name was Don Nelson, and the number was 330-222-6215, also they gave me anuvver number, 866-584-1199
They called my son and send him some text message, they had my ss# and said they were taking me to court
The source of the issue seems to be related to online activities.
It was implyed that the fact he is threatening us and has our personal information like our social security number and family contact information mean he is getting it from somewhere, and if we all pursued this further collectively to find out who this “Nelson” is then we could take action, thank you for the helpful post.
To pursue legal action against this individual, it would be necessary to obtain their legal business name and address, which, if discovered, should be shared for further action.
Following up on my previous post, I've never experienced anything like this and am skeptical, hoping for a positive resolution soon, and I'm curious if others are from NYS, given the number is supposedly from Salem Ohio
Following the previous post, it was revealed that the scammer made threats involving bank accounts, licenses, and tax returns, and even had the last four digits of the social security number, prompting plans to verify the claims and potentially take legal action.
A similar experience occurred when this individual called me, leaving a message claiming I was being charged with theft of services from a financial institution without specifying the bank or debt collector, and threatening an automatic judgment; I attempted to contact him for verification and to inform him I would involve my lawyer, but he has not responded to my calls, acting like a coward.
A scammer has been making calls claiming unpaid debts, escalating to contacting family members with threats of account freezing and using personal information like social security numbers, suggesting a need for police intervention.
A call was received from an individual who claimed to be calling about a matter concerning my husband, providing the last four digits of his social security number and threatening legal action.
Has anything happend with this number?
I had a call from Nelson, he was claiming I owe them money, but I had already paid the company in full, so I hung up on him.
I experienced a similar situation where a man claiming to be Nelson stated that I would face legal action due to allegedly bouncing checks from a payday loan, but it turned out to be a scam
This appears to be a debt scam, likely perpetrated by individuals seeking quick cash, and it is poorly executed, with the potential to lead to further harassment.
A man called claiming I had written a check for over $1000 and threatened to turn it into the DA, causing freezes on my accounts. When I called back, a person named Nelson answered, which seemed suspicious, especially given the early morning hour of the call.
