When they start off immediately with threats of arrest they are scammers just trying to scare you into paying a debt you probably do not owe. EDUCATE YOURSELF! YOU HAVE RIGHTS! http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre01.shtm No collection agency can threaten you in any way to collect a debt ITS ILLEGAL and the ones that immediate start off with threats are doing so just to get your money or your bank account information.

All you can do is ignore the s****.. When he calls and you hear his voice....hangup......but keep track of the times and dates that he calls ...again....just to CYA ~~Try not to let him scare you

They've already consented to being recorded since they left the message on your VM already. Second, contact a local attorney. You've basically got them right where they should be (over a barrel), and the FDCPA allows for punitive damages plus your attorney's fees to be paid, so it shouldn't be that hard to find an attorney to sue them. The problem will be proving that the call came from the actual company, along with finding a legal address to serve them at. Dumb CA. I've only rarely heard of them leaving messages like that. It was really dumb of them.
