I received the same call from a guy named Shawn. He told me that it was time a sensitive matter and that either I or my attorney needed him to contact him immediately. He then stated that if I didn't return his call that he could only wish me good luck. I called the number a day later and it picked up without him being aware of it. He was arguing with someone on another call saying do you know that you're talking to someone at an attorney's office. I couldn't hear what was being said to him, but then he tried to apologize to the person and wished them a blessed day. I am glad that I didn't speak with him and have seen that this all a scam.
Thanks for these posts. I knew it was a hoax, but I must admit the 15 calls on both my cell and some numbers freaked me out. I'm in NYC so I think if I call the police, they will laugh at me. I never answered the calls, but they all come up 0000, and as we all know, the number left is a Southern California number. Part of me wants to call back because I'm studying law and I know how full of crap they are. First clue, the woman calling sounds like Darth Vader with an Indian accent and called herself James Johnson. I don't know many females named James. 'James' also said we "downloaded a compliant against you". Downloaded? Really? That's a new one. Also, when someone is filing a suit against you it is best to file in a court in your jurisdiction, not one, in my case, that is clear across the country. Finally, notification pertaining to a lawsuit or any form of legal action being sought against you would be mailed to you. There is no attorney or law firm that would call and leave those messages on your cell, work and home phones!
We should all get together and file a class action suit against these smucks!!!
I just noticed how everyone is being asked to pay less than 10k. I bet that's because 10k is the magic number that gets the FBI involved...Wiring or withdrawing 10k or more and the bank legally has to notify the feds.
I received the same call today and about 2 months ago received some. It shows up on my phone as 0000. The people always have a very thick accent, but always American names. Today the man was Steven Williams and he left that same "threatening" message wishing me luck for whatever transpires if I do not call. I am quite frightened about this. Should I contact the police?
