I received a call from this number claiming his name is Sam, didn't answer it, he left a threatining message that I would regret not paying my debt I owed them, of course I don't owe anyone any debts at this time, then 10 mins later I get a call from work it's my supervisor saying a man named Sam called him and said to fire me cause I was a bad person, how'd they get my work number? What isit with these people
This is the second call I receive on my cell phone, the first from a different number. The caller said they were from Mark Jackson, Attorney at Law's office. I asked what state they were calling from and they said Florida. they tried to tell me that I owed money and I was going to be sued if I did not pay immediately. While they were on the phone, I went to the Florida Bar association and typed in the name of Mark Jackson. Nothing came up, only a person who is NOT elligable to practice law. I then asked for their state bar number and they refused to give it to me. I told them it was public record and that I knew the only reason they would not give it to me was because they were trying to pull a scam. They got upset and immediately hung up.
If you get a call like this, tell them that "this call will be recorded" and ask for their consent. Then ask for their attorney's name and bar number and what state the attorney is from. Look them up online on that states bar association to confirm that it is truly a scam.
I also got a call from "Ray Parker" from "Joseph & Jackson Legal Association". I looked them up and this firm doesn't exist ANYWHERE in the US, let alone Florida. They were threatening "Criminal Legal Action/Arrest" (charge yet to be determined) by Monday and wanted my attorney information. Now I'm not a lawyer but I do know that thingI told them I was calling the US Attorney's office (which I did) and believe it or not, they asked me to wait. I had to hang up on them twice before they got the picture. These scams need to be found and eliminated ... who needs this?
they called us as well saying charges will b made if we dont pay them monies back that we got from them (which we never did) and i asked them for there website and then they said we can not provide that to you for us to please have our attorney contact them as they would prefer not to argue the matter with us they called from a california number roughly 2 weeks ago then they called again and put a woman on the phone with us saying the same thing. something needs to be done with these idiots and scams
