I just got this call as well but could not understand his name. He did claim the same as everyone else that I would be arrested as well as my boss at work. They claim to be from some cyber crime division. I am not sure if this is a computer talking or just some guy that never took how to speak English while in school. I tried to call back at the number they gave me multiple times with no answer. I read about the online payday loans and I did fill out for one as well. I have also had numerous places deduct money from my account from these same loan companies that I never aggreed to. I actually had to have the bank freeze my account and will have it closed in 30 days from yesterday 2-20-2011. Scammers suck
I have been receiving threatening phone calls at my place of employment and at home from this number for the last 3 or 4 weeks. This person can barely speak english he keeps saying he is Officer Williams and that i took out a loan for such n such amount and he keeps raising the amount. He also stated that if i didn't call him by today that tomorrow the sheriff was going to come to arrest me either at home or my place of employment.
The guy left me a voicemail saying it was officer Chris Williams from Cyber Crime Unit. Saying that if I didnt return their call.. I was going to get arrested tomorrow morning.
This motherfuker has called me under a different name and number. He told me his name was Tad Williams and he was calling from an L.A. number.
Its a total SCAM!!!
They got my info bcuz I did online search for a PAYDAY LOAN!
I called my local sheriff department. she said they would never come and arrest me and that this would be a CIVIL case.. so they can take me to court but not arrest me.
They tell you that they place money in your checking account.
this guy keeps calling my work and cell phone. i ask for his physical address and he speaks in some really messed accent and then has the nerve to say may god be with you. he blocks the number and it also comes up on caller id as 00000. cannot understand the name of company, but sometimes he's a rep and then he's a sheriff. stupid [***] is what he is!
