Collection agency who called in regards to Cash Advance even though loans were paid, Scare tactic. Nasty people will never take loan from them again. So irresponsible !!
If you call them and tease them they get really pissed just call them and give them a taste of their own medicine. It hilarious call them right now and call them names and mess with them.
I found a message on my answering machine from purportedly this number from an "Officer Mike Johnson" of the "Crime Investigation Department." He asked for a call back from me or my attorney in this "sensitive matter" of his department filing three criminal charges against me in a matter of "civil fraud" after a case had been filed against me. This guy had a pronounced Indian accent (I'd know it anywhere being of Indian origin myself and am furious about these types giving our community a bad name) and was obviously a fraud.
I was suspicious that this could be a call re-routing scam where they could charge heavy fees through phone billing to connect to some offshore location, so I called this number back a few times using Skype. Each time the call would be dropped after a ring or two.
This person with very thick Indian accent calling himself Officer Johnson left a voicemail msg saying there were 3 criminal charges against me and that my ss# was being investigated. I would be arrested at my job. No name of the person or company that is supposedly sueing me. Tried calling the number but only got a fast busy signal. Ever since I went online to see about a payday loan,I've been getting all kinds of scam calls. So frustrating!
Yes Deb, the insect known as the 'Needle-[***] Indian Cockroach' is an obstinate little critter. They can be very irratating. They're like a rash, but not nearly as dangerous. Just let your friends, family and co-workers know that you're suffering from an infestation of these vermin. Warn everyone you know that careless behavior on the internet can bring an influx of these disease-ridden organisms. To rid yourself of these pests you can simply ignore them or use the time honored home remedy of laughing like hell at them. Insults work well too. Once the little beasties know that you're on to them they're prone too life-threatening conniption fits, hysteria, fits and bouts of unitelligible gibberish. The accompanying high blood pressure can often lead to the blessed death of the offensive creature.
Good luck to you Deb in your battle against this insignificant foe. Given time perhaps someone will come up with a spray to combat this problem. 'Til then we'll just have to accept them for what they are; nothing more than foul compost material.
this man just called us as well for the first time. so there is nothing that can be done about someone impersonating an officer? this is illegeal and very wrong. gave me a scare, this is not right
