that we owe them $1,500. The Marshall somehow got my Aunts' number but was asking about my Grandma. Accusing her of selling illegal stuff from her house and that we have to pay $1,500 to Nuevo Mundo of some purchase we did many years ago. If not Marshall is going to come tomorrow morning and break open the locks and take anything of value to sell in a auction. So the marshall said he was doing us a favor by warning us so he gave us a number to a company call D.L. Associates. So I call that place and a lawyer for Nuevo Mundo said that we have to pay them right away through Credit Card/Debit Card or Western Union or else Marshall's are coming. I ask for paper work or proof and they guy said he couldn't give out that information. The "Window of Opportunity was open but now its close" he said. The guy told me they were going to the house in 53ave but we move from there 3-4 years ago. So when I ask which address are they coming because we have move already he said he didn't have that information. He insisted for us to pay the money right away and that then he'll give us all the information we needed. The guy kept insisted 5-6x that we should send the money right away or else Marshalls are coming to take our stuff. I thought it might be some sort of scam so I call 911 and they told us that the Marshall can't break open our doors without a warrant and that it sounded very fishy about paying through Western Union without them giving us any paperwork. Cop said to call the Cops if someone shows up on our door steps. Is there a way to find out if this is all legit? I’m in NYC.

I ask my aunt she doesn't remember the guys name. I ask her if a number comes out and all it says is "Unknown"

Marshalls can not and do not come and get your "stuff" you you buy a TV and don't pay for it, they may come and take it, but they will have a warrant for it.
Next there will have to be a court case, and a judgement, and they will have to furnish you court papers,
Also marshalls don't call you and tell you, they just show up and serve legal papers.
Someone is trying to cheat you. Report them for fraud to the police right away

IMHO, sounds like a scam. How do you know this so called Marshall was really a Marshall? Did you get his badge number? Call the US Marshall service and ask about him, and ask about this company and any proceedings they may have against your aunt. Also, the company must at the very least be able to produce documents that they filed in court to ask your aunt to pay up. Not producing anything at all is highly suspect. I would be very wary about these guys.

You should have get their info on where do they want the WU money to be transferred to! Then give that info to the police. That would be the sure way to make them get caught. Now it's too late, of course; they won't show up again. Still the right thing to do is to get the phone records and at least file the police report because there will be more victims. You should also report it to the FBI (visit their website for how to do it). Most likely they have already received multiple reports on this and working on this issue. Your report will help.

It is a scam, definitely. Don´t pay anything and call the cops if someone comes to your door.
Luckily it seems they don´t even have your right address. If they call again tell them that you have informed the police and that they have put a tap on your telephone to catch them. They will be scared.

It's a scam, notify the police about this. They might have received other calls from other people regarding this.
Good luck and I hope they catch 'em!

This sounds like a scam to me. Are you sure it was a Marshall, or did he just "say" he was?
