I want to know if this is a fraud. A person claiming to be an attorney called me at work demanding that I pay a balance in two hours or I was going to be arrested at work Monday

Waht you describe may or may not be fraud, but it does seem like something moare serious. If the person was calling on behalf of someone else that you supposedly owe the money to, they violated Federal collection laws, and may now owe you money. If the poerson is not an attorney licensed in Missouri, they may also be in trouble with the Missouri Bar Association. You should repor this call to the Missouri Generals office, perhaps via their web site. You should also consult direclty with a civil practice attorney in your area, before paying any money to the caller.

Good luck
