A message was left on a public voice mail at my office for a person to return a call to Steven Adams who works for the "Bank Fraud and Worthless Check Division Unit," it's good to know they have a division unit and not just a division or a unit. Of course no city or county was left on this. And the area code is one from another state all together, which is interesting. I'd assume the person they are after would be in the same state as them if they are from a government unit. The fact that they left this on the voice mail of a company, which is checked by multiple staff members and is not a direct line, makes me think they are a scam. No company name other than "Bank Fraud and Worthless Check Division Unit" was left.
I think this number is a scam 323-786-0540. Says Terry Lewis Investigations; won't verify a spelling or give an address. Any input from anybody is appreciated. Be safe! Crazy people all over out there!
Got a call fro 323-786-0540 from a Terry Lewis...said I owed for a pay day loan from 2009 in the amount of 1120.60, put a Stacy Wilcox on the phone..I called my lawyer who told me this was a scam..I was told I would have a warrant out for my arrest if I did not pay it..they had my employers name and number, my social security number, my address ect.
Update! I called this # back lat night. Voice mail. I left NO message. Terry Lewis called back this morning saying he had a missed call from this #. I gave him the name he inquired about on our voice mail yesterday morning. He was able to give me the DOB, SS#, full name & address of the person they called about yesterday morning. Say that if a call isn't received back today before noon to settle the matter a warrant will be issued. He further states when questioned that he is working with our local parish who hired him; that's unbelievable by itself! I told him to put this "bill / debit" in the mail. He claims it had been mailed repeatedly! Which is a lie. My husband got on the phone and informed him we have already investigated him and reported him! He stuttered on "huh.. Huh.. HUH" then hung up. This is sickening that people steal your personal information and harass you like this!
Just had same thing happen. He claimed his name was Steven Adams. I would have a warrant out for my arrest. Payday loan n to pay money gram. Just sick!
