i recieved a strange phone call telling me to ring this number regarding a legal matter

My mum got a call this morning from James Hall. I rang them to find out what was going on then looked on Internet and found this site. I rang Mr Hall back pretending to be a lawyer. For some reason he got very upset and stated that because I called in a lawyer that mum would be arrested. Told him to bring it on. Unfortunately idiots like this prey on the older and weaker people.  We need to stop these b*****ds

I received a similar call a few hours ago from a Jazz Smith representing the Federal Magistrate Court in Sydney asking me to front up in court at 10:30am this Friday morning to answer to fraud charges brought up against me by CPR Global represented by a Mr James Hall.  When she had difficulty answering my probing questions, she passed the call to a Peter Grisham who stated the same thing but he was rude, aggressive & threatened me with defamation. After a lengthy call to Mr James Hall (02) 8007 4221) whereby I asked why wasn't I served a summons by registered mail and that I never had any telephone transaction with CPR Global and never gave them any banking details, he put me on hold & never rang back. He threatened that if I don't appear for the hearing I'll be arrested by the local police & extradited to Sydney & jailed without bail.  He also asked me if I needed his help as I was being sued for more than $6,000.  Maybe an out-of-court settlement?I went to my local police station to report this disturbing call and was told by the officer that it was a scam, and that I should ignore such future calls.A few minutes ago I received a call from a male Indian-sounding voice representing the local police station that two police officers would be coming to arrest me. I was asked to provide him my address!All these callers had Indian-sounding voices but with Anglicised names!Hope this helps!  Beware!

Had the same call from the same number today Indian bloke claiming to be a lawyer sueing me for the sum of 9000

i got a call today from a very hard to understand Indian woman. She claimed she was from the Sydney Federal court and that i had a court case on tomorrow (i live in Melbourne so no chance even if it was true) were i will be sued for unpaid services from 6 years ago and that i needed to contact James Hall the lawyer in charge at CPI Global on (02) 8003 5219.At the time i was meant to have used the service i was in hospital in a coma and after getting James Halls message bank i searched on google and found this page.Stuff these morons trying to take other peoples money and spread the word to friends and family. It was also a giveaway as they called on my home number and i never use or give this out.Thank you everyone for posting on this site it has helped.

Who is this calling about Court hearing in Sydney on Friday? Something about James Hall solicitors. I have never heard of them.

Just had the same call. They claimed to work for the australian federal court and knew my husbands full name, address, and some bank details. Claimed that he was due in Sydney magistrates court in 2 days for fraud due to giving a false bank account number when paying for the services of CPR global direct. When I suggested it was beginning to sound like a scam they became very abusive and threatened to sue me for defamation as well. The contact number which I called after the initial call to find more information was (02) 8007 4221, again for a solicitor by the name of Mr. James Hall. I have reported this to scamwatch and also the federal magistrates court. Is there any other useful action I should take?.
