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!
Same story as above.They try and take the elderly for ride.They are relateless in there efforts.Hang up on'em,report'em what ever,but don't tell'em no info.
They keep calling after telling them NOT to call me. Claiming that someone is using my checking account and idenity theft, They rude and obnoxiuos. DO NOT LISTEN TO ME. I them reported, and something needs to be done. I ddidn't catch the name the first time I talked to them.
I got the same phone call, and when I answered they said they wanted to "RENEW" my fraud and idenity protection plan for my bank... i asked the lady "what bank account"? The lady started stuttering and said oh i'm sorry i don't have that information, but I have your account number. I asked her to give me the account number and the lady said oh I will have to call you back with that information and she just hung up... I tried to call the number back the (305)222-7707 and of course no one answered and like you I didn't get her name...
Calling several times a week, saying it is a "courtesy call", this predator tries to swindle elderly people out of their money. He is the most rude, obnoxious person I have ever spoken with. Said his name was Ed Rooney, which is probably a false name. This loser needs to get a real job or go to jail!
