I received a call today from this number stating he was a federal officer and I was being arrested for my use of social number if I didn't call my local police department was going to serve me with a warrant. Unfortunately he didn't realize I contacted a detective with the dept and there is no such thing. The call came from Ohio communications
I had this exact same thing happen to me yesterday!!! He had a thick accent and he said his name was officer James and the number that showed up on my caller id was 918-596-9222 a police call center and he left a number of 937-424-4731 to call back and I get a person saying they are with the FCC and wanted a payment with a money pak that you get from family dollar or walmart and he made sure and said you don't need the pre paid card they will try and sell that to you but you don't need it. PLEASE BE AWARE of this man!!
I live in New York and was told that ths was the New York State Police and there was a Federal warrent for my arrest. I asked for a badge ID and his local office number and was promptly hung up on. I called the 937-424-4731 number, that the gentleman gave me and was connected with Christine Johnson, Christine had a verythick Indian accent and when I was place on hold the back ground music was Indian. I thought it was strange that a Federal Office on hold music that was Indian. She demand that I send her money or she would have me prosecuted for fraud. I asked her why a Federal Officer would be a collection agent and she changed her story and said that she referred the cases to Federal Court. I asked my lawyer to give them a ring. She would not give a company name and provide any details to him. She said I should give my money to him and have him bail me out of jail before she hung up on him. She tried to call me back but the switch board would not let her thru. I eventually called her back and told her to please send or fax me information pertaining to this charge. She then threatened to send and speak to my employer about this supposed fraudalant debt I had made. At this point I hung up on her. This is a total scam there are no warrents. I have been served no papers or proof of this supposed debt.
Good! Did the cowards hang up? They ususally do, when you call their bluff.
This is a criminal extortion ring operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
