I get calls from these people all the time asking for my oldest son and saying that they have a claim or warrant for his arrest for fraudulent check charges. The thing is he doesn't use or has never used checks, but they won't stop calling.

I have filed a case with the police department and even spoken with district atty. They are scammers. have threatened on multiple occasions to show up at my home to serve papers. I have told them to come on over but no one ever shows up. Do not give them any of your personal information!!

Constant calls. Originally had a company name on ID but called them - stolen. Now no company name. No area code anymore either. Can't hear the name of person looking for. Have tried hanging up. Also waited and pressed whatever to speak to someone - busy signal or no one and hang up. In-laws also getting the calls. Can't report them without area code. Bet the number is stolen as well.

Received calls daily from this number or 844-226-8637 saying they're handing an important legal matter and leave a claim number. When I don't answer they either call my mother in law or work. Constantly saying I owe on a payday from 2009; called my former bank and looked online in the checking account and cannot find any deposit on the date they claim the funds were deposited or tried to with drawn. DO NOT TELL THEM ANYTHING!!! My HR department talked to them ~ they said they'd disrupt my workplace if she didn't tell them where we were located. When she told them we were calling the cops cause it was a scam the foreign lady got upset and hung up!! Why can't this stop? I have reported multiple numbers to the Atty General Office but nothing changes

These people call constantly and say that I opened a payday loan in 2012. Ok, if I opened a loan (which I did NOT) why did it take them 3-4 years to start collecting on it? My number is unlisted, my family members' numbers are unlisted, these people have no right or reason to be calling other than to try and scam you out of money that you don't actually owe.

Keep getting calls with this number and other numbers from these people. They gave me problems last year and are now repeating the same scam. They get numbers of family members from sites on the internet like Spokeo or similar: "should be illegal as I don't publish any numbers or addresses" they have called our family members also. I have told them not to call and have blocked numbers, they just call from a different number. It does no good to block. I had to call from a different number so they would answer. When I told them they were a scam she got pissed and said, "you people that don't pay your bills always say that! Well we don't owe any thing to any one, we even pay cash for our vehicles.

Got a call from this number saying I owed $525 and read off my social security number. They wanted me to fax them all my information on a loan that I had that "might" have matched what they are talking about, but I knew something was wrong.
I call my previous loan and they said they do their own in house collecting and my account was closed and paid. Nothing was owed.

I called them back and explained, of course I was mad. The lady made is seem like I was in court calling my a defendant and a claim number and so on. I called them scammers and she said " I hope you have a good lawyer, good luck in court " and hung up on me. My only concern is that they may have my entire social security number. I reported my information to the credit Bureaus for any future potential fraud.

If they call you don't confirm your information just hang up and block their number.

Called them back, turns out they have the wrong person after about 10 missed calls from them.

Just received a call from this # for the first time. Called back and the exact same thing happened as with everyone else on here. They were asking for personal information, but wouldn't tell me who they are. I wouldn't provide any and insisted on finding out who they are. The call was braking up pretty badly and the caller had a thick accent. Couldn't understand most of it, but it was something about some pay day loan from years ago, and I have no idea what it's about. He was attempting to threaten, but I didn't give him any info because I could tell right away it was a SCAM. Beware!!! He kept saying he was attempting to resolve something and I told him there was nothing to resolve, so he got frustrated and hung up.

These criminals are being sued; if your interested contact this law office - https://www.woodlaw.com/cases/pra-inc
"We have filed suit against a group of individuals and a network of shell companies, which have used illegal threats and deception to induce consumers or their family members to pay non-exist debts. This network has been using the name "PRA, Inc.", to confuse consumers into believing the group is associated with the legitimate, publicly traded, collection company "Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc.". Some victims have reported the company may even had information about legitimate debts owed by the consumer, but was not authorized by the creditor to collect the debt.

If you have received a debt collection call from someone representing themselves to as "PRA, Inc." please contact our office."

She wouldn't tell me exactly what the names were and when I wouldn't pay she got mad and said I'm putting down that you don't want to take care of this good luck in court and she hung up on me.

I blocked them and today they called from a different number 844-298-4709. They have called two of my family members so far.

I did *67 and called them back this morning and asked for their mailing address was told they do give that out, I than explained to them that I had googled them and they are a scam the accented lady asked me did I believe everything on Google and I said yes when you have been reported. Plus they answered hello not with company name but I did get her to tell me that. Told them to stop calling me and my family members and that I had already reported them which I had.

She yelled into the phone pay your Bills and than hung up on me. I know exactly what debts I have and what I owe and they are all paid on time. These people are scum!!

This number and calls from it are a scam out of Asia according to the FBI. Because the amounts are below the $75,000 threshold for this kind of thing, there is little the FBI can do. In fact, nothing, since they are in Asia. The best thing to do is NOT answer the call, or any call from an 844 area code for that matter. However, if you do talk to them, have fun with it knowing they are scammers. Skies the limit to vent your frustrations.....

Same story as the rest of you, this number has been calling my mom's house for weeks asking for my EX husband from over 10 years ago. I called back, gave them the house phone number and asked them to remove it from the list - that was after I was hung up on twice. The guy was nice and said he'd "look it up and remove it" - but now I'm extremely discouraged after reading all of these comments. My poor mother is going to keep getting these calls. We'll just need to write all of the call back numbers down and block them as they come. Ugh, get a LIFE and a REAL JOB, SCAMMERS!!!!!
