i have been getting phone calls from these people at work everyday at work. they called today asking to speak to my supervisor because of this legal matter. I have no clue as to what they are talking about. they also mentioned taking me to court, but would not tell me when, where, and how this matter toook place.
These people call literally non stop, back to back so the number is getting changed. Initially, a man with a heavy east Indian accent called and threatened my friends and family... That's ok though, I don't owe anything and Karma is a big [***]...
i had the samething and they hung up on me and said they would see me in court i called back and he said dont call this number again and so i said you dont call my number again then im a granville county deputy and i will hunt you down and take legal matters never herd from them again.
They called me asking for a person who does not work in my office I told them he does not work her. The guy threatens to take me to court if I don't give him information on this person. I told him not to call and he continued.
Ok, so i know that these posts are older, but i just got this call on my work voicemail today. i have absolutely no idea how they got my work number as it is not listed anywhere except internally and it is not given out either.
When i called the number(s) back on caller id (617-531-2612) to tell them that i had the voicemail recorded and i reported them for running an extortian ring, then he asked my name, and i said "that isn't important" and he YELLED "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?!!!!!" so i hung up. Then i called the number back that was left on my message to call 781-443-7087 and the SAME guy answered and said all calm "i just want to know your name" i proceeded to tell him that even if he was with a collection agency that harrassment at the work place and threatening of any kind is illegal and that i know he is representing a fraudulent company. he then said "what was the officer's name who threatened you, i will fire him immediately", i said, "Stephen Johnson". then at the end he kept asking me "DID HE ABUSE YOU?" DID HE ABUSE YOU? DID HE ABUSE YOU? I responded "I do not know him but he was threatening me". I finally just told him I wasn't playing his games, I had everything recorded and I was reporting him, and to remove my name from the data base. I never did confirm the number that they had called. I have absolutely no idea how they got my number as it is an INTERNAL WORK NUMBER. It is not listed anywhere, and it is not given out to people to call.
The police officer said that her sargeant got the same call today except they said that he had a warrant for money laundering and larceny. They know how to make the calls fit to the caller. I do have debt, so them pretending that I was going to be arrested for an outstanding bill made sense. What didn't make sense was that the guy on the message could barely speak English, he did not leave a badge number AND the number they called from (617-531-2612) did not match the number he gave as a callback number (781-443-7087).
WATCH OUT FOR THESE PEOPLE. If this hadn't happened on my company phone where I know that no one has the number AND if I had not paid attention to the little details I could have easily been a victim.
This was in Jacksonville AR today. It is the first report they have had using the fear of warrant to get money, but they expect to see a lot more. A police officer will not call your work to tell you they are going to arrest you. They will knock on your door---and they only do that AFTER they have mailed you the warrant.
they called me saying they were sending Federal agents to arrest me and my friends unless I talked to them. I hung up and they keep calling back. I know this is a fraud / scam because I have not done anything to warrent such an action.
A lot of noise in backround and broken english. Said his name was Steven Johnston
