Scam debt collector calls – what to do!

Despite my explicit request to cease communication, this number continues to harass me with threatening messages, claiming that failure to pay $700 will result in severe consequences, including job loss and hefty fines, a blatant scam that refuses to stop.

I received a call from this number, 662 580 4768, regarding a loan I allegedly took out in February, which was not the case. I attempted to gather more information to report them, and the individual I spoke with, who introduced himself as Ray Bennet with a heavy Indian accent, transferred me to a so-called paralegal named Jack Lewis, who had a similar accent. He informed me that I owed American Cash $191.16, and with court costs, the amount would be substantially higher. He also claimed I was on the FBI list for fraud and theft, and after I expressed my awareness of the scam, he threatened me, saying he would make my life miserable.

Having received such calls before, it's best to terminate the conversation immediately. Today, they pretended to be a lawyer, but I was aware it was a scam and hung up. Familiarizing oneself with the FDCPA laws and posing specific questions can prompt them to scream and make jail threats.

After I refused to send money, the caller, who identified himself as Rob, threatened my job and vowed to continue calling me

Threatening calls have been received from this number, demanding $300 be sent by a certain time or a subpoena would be issued for arrest.
