Received a call at my job on my supervisors phone saying that it was in my best interest to give them a call asap. befor I even got to my desk they were calling again. Some guy named Andy Young said that i had a past due bill that was going to court, but that i had the option to pay the fees up front and out of court. Said he was calling on the befalf of Crime center America. Told me I need to write an authorization letter and sidn it and send it to his fax number 3237393335 or 5623723325. Couldn't understand a word that he was saying and was very rude.
THIS NUMBER HAS BEEN CALLING MY JOB PHONE EVERYDAY. SOMETIMES THEY CALL 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY. MY BOSS PICKED UP THE PHONE AND HE TOLD HER, "YOU NEED TO TELL HER TO CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY." SHE WAS SCARED AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ATTORNEY NAMED OLIVER JOHN. SO, A CO-WORKER GAVE ME THE NUMBER HE CALLED FROM. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON MY CELL PHONE AND "DAVID JONES" ANSWERED THE PHONE. I TOLD HIM MY 1ST AND LAST NAME. HE ASKED FOR MY NUMBER. I GAVE IT 2 HIM LIKE A DUMMY. HOWEVER, HE SAID MY LAST FOUR DIGITS OF MY SSN. I ASKED HIM HOW DID HE GET MY INFORMATION? HE YELLED BACK, "YOU SHOULD KNOW!!! YOU THE ONE WHO OWES THE MONEY" I ASKED HIM WHAT COMPANY WAS IT? HE SAID, "LAW FIRM" AND THAT THE POLICE WILL BE AT MY HOUSE (HE PROVIDED MY ADDRESS) TOMORROW AND THEY WILL ESCORT ME TO THE COURTROOM AT 11AM. FROM THEN, I WAS REALLY ANGRY BECAUSE I WORK FOR A PAYDAY LOAN STORE AND I KNOW YOU CANNOT BE PROSECUTED FOR A LOAN SO WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT I KNOW MY RIGHTS. HE HUNG UP ON ME. I CALLED THE NUMBER BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE [***] WHO HUNG UP ON ME. THE GUY REPLIED, "OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU IF HE KEEPS HANGING UP." I KNEW IT WAS A SCAM! I REPORTED IT TO THE LOCAL POLICE AND THE POLICE THAT IS BY MY JOB SINCE THEY KEEP CALLING MY JOB. ALSO, I SENT A REPORT TO THE FBI.
I also received a call from this person that did not speak good english stating that he also was calling from a attorney's office. I would like for them to know that i am going to take this information over to my attorney.
I got a call from "jacob" telling me I was charged with money laundring and check fraud and asking for my account number. He couldn't tell me what state the charges were filied in or the county then asked for my account number... he wouldn't even tell me what company he was with gave me his number 650 230 4649. I refused and called my police station and filied a complaint with FTC. I recommend anyone else who gets a call to file a complaint.
