      Received a voicemail today. "Good afternoon I'm looking for *****. Hello ***** my name is compliance officer Michael **** calling on behalf of ARA and Associates. We're looking to get a very important message out to *****(my daughter), date of birth *****. We have an active case that has been up for review for *****(my daughter) which will require that criminal charges are filed accordingly through her local county jurisdiction, which would be *****county district. You were put down as the point of contact as we show from when the offense was committed ***** (my name) which may require your attendance in this case along with ***** (my husband). If you can please either have yourself or ***** return this call directly to Michael **** at ***** it is very important. Please reference case number CR147504 thank you. My daughter tried to contact Mr. **** but spoke with a secretary instead, Kasey ******, and was told that she needed to pay X to settle the case. My daughter hung up. They then called her employer and was transferred to my daughter. She didn't tell them who she was but when she tried to question them they asked to speak with her general manager! She said no, if what they were saying was true then they needed to go through HR. They got upset and my daughter hung up.
