Received a call this evening from a company that identified themselves "repeatedly" as the United States Corrections Office National Crime Division.initially the woman on the phone asked for the name of my attorney. I was baffled and stated I didn't have an attorney and who was she trying to reach. She advised she was with the United States garbled... Garbled. I asked what this was about and she asked me to hold for the senior attorney since I wasn't aware of the pending legal action. A man came on the phone immediately started yelling at me because I kept attempting to identify who he was with and what the call was regarding. The man threatened to hang up if I didn't let him finish his statement, so I said nothing. Then when he asked if I understood I pointed out he had told me not to speak.
He continued yelling intelligibly and then advised that I would be arrested within the next hour at my home address which he then stated and hung up.
Later, I contacted the County Sheriff's Office where I live and advised of the threatening phone call, asked if it was normal procedure to call someone and advise they were going to be arrested and if there wouldn't have been some kind of contact prior too. I was advised that this did not seem to be a legitimate phone call and that a report will be filed.
I called the contacted number left on my voicemail, spoke with the same man who identified himself as the senior attorney again, and when I advised that I had contacted the police he hung up on me.
I was able to establish that this was not in fact a Federal Office of Corrections but instead a Corporate Attorney's Office called " The National Crime monitoring Division". I then found online that this company regularly threatens people. A BBB complaint has been filed as well.
