My mother called today, wanting me to Google this number. They've called her twice. Once, this past Saturday and then again today. They are attempting to get her bank account information, etc. She refused to give them the information and stated she would simply call her bank. They hung up on her. I have to admit, I was very proud of and for my mom, for recognizing it was a scam. I told her that the often make it sound very believable. She said this was ridiculous and hopefully ANYONE would be able to tell they were scammers/identity thieves. She called the Sheriff Dept and had a deputy come out. She filed a report, I believe. He asked her for the number on the caller ID, which was the 305-222-7707 and called it from his cell phone. Of course, no answer. On this page alone, I see posts dating back to 2011. How can this go on this long? Is there ANYTHING that can be done, to put a stop to this particular number? Better yet, is there any way we could find out WHO this group of scammers are and have them charged/fined/jailed? I am usually good at investigating things and getting answers, but this is unchartered territory for me. (My mom also alerted some friends and neighbors of the incident, so that they would (hopefully) be less likely to fall into this trap.) I want them stopped and held accountable!
Just got a call saying that there was a check payable to liberty financial for the amount $289.60 and they want it to verify that that was ok, so they even got an account number and check number, they said they were from fraud recovery. Fortunally account did not match my info.
This person identified her self as Lisa Adams. Also it gave me a toll free number to call but it was a dentist office.
my mother keeps getting these calls, and she gives them the info. I have had to close her checking account now for the 4th time. Bank isn't going to do it anymore - what a hassle, changing social security and everything. These people are predators to elderly people, trying to get their money, convincing them that they are real - and my mother is from the old school of believing that what people tell her is true - please somebody has to stop them.
My mother's home phone received a call from 3052227707, which I her daughter answered it because I had a suspicion it would be ANOTHER BOGUS SCAM artist call to a helpless SENIOR CITIZEN. She said she was from Fraud Watch Services telling me, a senior citizen, that this service that I already have on my banking is about to expire and that she could renew the service for me with only one final payment since I am a senior citizen on a fixed income for $289. She would not leave me a number so I could call her back, instead she said she would call me back in one half hour. The caller ID on my phone stated Miami, Florida
