Oh yeah, some foreigner just called looking for one of my former employees. I explained that I had talked to one of their reps earlier this morning and told him that employee no longer works here and would he please take my # off his list. He began referring to me as an MFer (I'm a woman - impossible!!) and when I said Excuse me he repeated it. I told him that this is a business phone and not to call here again to which he told me to F off and began calling me an MFer again. I told him if I received any further calls I'd report the # to the FCC and hung up. HE CALLED ME RIGHT BACK AND STARTED CALLING ME A FING RICH BTCH MFer AND THREATENING ME. I hung up on him and immediately called my local PD. WTH!??!??! His # 718-684-9897. Anyone know anything about this like who he is?
Hey Susan, these people are scammers who get private information from people after hacking an online application for a payday loan. The FBI and even the Secret Service are aware of these people but are unable to locate them (nor make it a big priority). They are an offshore operation who use prepaid phones. Once dialed these phones transfer to a another number that as far as I know have been untraceable. By the way, they change their numbers constantly and use different names and made-up or no longer existing companies constantly. You may not here from them for a couple of months and then they will just start calling again. The good news is there is nothing they can do with the information they collect. Using hacked information will result in their giving away their location. That is also why they only accept certain forms of payment. They will NEVER allow funds to be directly transferred to another bank or use any form of trackable payment information. They are heartless and ruthless, but totally powerless. They actually called someone working at the KS Attorney Generals office. They have a right up and warning about them, but it is listed under a previously used phone number. Hope this helps!
Received a call asking for someone who used me as a reference for a cash advance loan! Foreign-sounding said his name was Jason Young and a lawsuit was being filed on this person and this person was supposed to call back for details. I was going to call and tell them that they have the wrong number and person but,after reading these comments, I'm just going to DELETE it. I generally don't answer numbers that I don't know and this came thru on my phone as +0000.so no way was I answering it!
UPDATE - He called again and again and again. I explained that the person he was looking for was not at this number and I hadn't seen him in months, he was a former employee. He started screaming at me that he was going to get me fired- I told him "bring it on because I work for a LAWYER and I'm sure he would love to investigate the company!" he called about 4 more times, which I ignored - they haven't called back
:P
(P.S. I don't work for lawyers)
this person continues to call and harass me several times a day threatening to sue me. He has alot of personel information which is scary. he is a pain in my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tired of people with my information.
