Block the number immediately and add it to your phone’s blacklist. Treat any unsolicited call demanding payment within 24 hours as a likely scam, especially when it references false debts or legal threats. Never share personal or financial details over the phone, and avoid clicking links in text messages. Use your carrier’s spam‑filtering tools or a third‑party call‑blocking app to silence repeat offenders. Report the activity to the FTC via complaints.ftc.gov and to your state’s consumer protection agency. Report the number, block future calls, and consider forwarding threatening voicemails to the FTC’s spam‑spam email address for investigation.
The claim of potential legal action if not responding within 24 hours is a clear scam, and it's advised not to answer.
Despite providing my lawyer's information, they continue to send text messages regarding a debt from 2011, threatening to claim my stimulus check if not settled
Time seems to be passing quickly.
It seems there's a need for recalculating the math, considering the year 2012 is a point of reference.
The solution to stopping these calls is straightforward: ignore them and block the numbers. Consider investing in a call-blocking device or app, and report unwanted texts to 7726.
I've been getting these call and texts too, does any one know how to stop them, its geting annoying
Apparently, individuals dont get arrested for debt, also i noticed you posted in another thread regarding a diffrent number
There are discrepancies in the information provided, including two different numbers and states, which raises suspicions
Text messages were received from different numbers regarding a 2012 cash advance, which seems suspicious and outdated.
To stop receiving unwanted texts, try responding with 'STOP' and then mark the message as spam.
It's worth noting that the FBI doesn't look for people who have debts and the IRS doesn't call you, thats another scam if you get a call saying they are the IRS, be cautious
Efforts are needed to identify and expose the entity behind these numbers to facilitate reporting and legal action against them.
Are you kidding me?
These people are aparently uninformed, they've been telling me the same thing since 2012, but they're ignorant of the fact that the statue of limitations has expired after 10 years on a stupid pay day loan, I'm considering taking legal action against them
The purpose of the call was to collect on a debt that is not legitimate

A text message was left, urging me to contact their office regarding a debt settlement to avoid legal action
They were asking to settle a delinquent account, but i dont have any open account, thats a mistake, and i think its a scam
The same messages were received from multiple numbers, and it is imperative that this stops, given the lack of debts and a clean credit report.
A debt collector left a voicemail claiming I had outstanding debt that needed to be resolved within 24 hours to avoid legal consequences.
It's frustrating to receive constant calls from this number, claiming that illegal procedures will be taken against me if I don't respond within 24 hours. These calls, which often come in multiple times a day, including late at night, are not only disturbing but also raise concerns about the legitimacy of the claims made. Given the frequency and harassing nature of these calls, it's reasonable to wonder if there's a centralized authority, such as a 1-800 number, where one can report such incidents and seek resolution, especially considering the bogus claims of FBI involvement. The relentless pursuit by these callers, despite no legitimate debt or obligation, merits a formal complaint to relevant authorities, including potential prosecution for harassment. In areas like PA, where such incidents are reported, it's crucial to have a system in place to protect consumers from these predatory tactics.
