I receved this wierd phone call on Friday saying that I will be prosecuted for fraud if I did not send a payment or promissary note, stating that I will pay $987.61. But after I looked them up on 800notes.com and found out that what they are doing is fraudulent and they are using another company's name and also did not want to give me any information of what the money was for only for a pay day loan that was unpaid, and wanted me to send it western union to a Tyrell Graham.
I received a call on last Friday from a Mark Gorin who claimed to be an officer from some government agency that he said very quickly in his thick accent that I could not understand. I was on lunch when he called the first time. He called a second time and asked why I did not call him back. I told him I did a reverse lookup of the number he left and looked up the company that came up. It was Telecommunitaions. I never heard of them but he said he was calling from a government agency. Some United something. I had fell for a similar scam last year and paid $690 to someone who claimed I would be arrested if I did not pay the laon off. I reported it this time. This Mark told me that his supieror wanted to talk to me. he transfered to call to a man that sounded just like him. I told him to send the information to my home. he asked for my address I told him if he says he is who he says he is he should have my address. Well the address he gave me was old. Ihave lived at two other places since then. So I know he was lying. I told him I reported him and hung up. He called me again. I told him the same thing he continues to tell me to call the police. I put him on hold and called 911. They told me to get his information and report it to my local police department. I told him what they told me to do. He refused to give me anymore information then he already had which was that I owed money for a payday loan. He called me a liar. Stated that I did not call the police and that he needed to speak to my manager. I told him he did not and hung up the phone. He called back two more times and I ignored the call. I was at work. If he was really from the government agency like he said he would have had my correct address. I'm listed. I a registered voter. You should have my current address.
I have placed a complaint report with the Federal Bueru withtheh number and name of the person who called. I'm just a little shaken up and scared that this happened. I'm not a criminal. I never even had a speeding ticket before. I'm going to school and take out loans every now and then to cover stuff for school when I do not have it all but I will not be doing that anymore. I can't deal with this.
I just got a call and it showed up as 1 (063) on my caller ID. They called once and I answered but there was nobody there. They called back a couple of minutes later and left a message. The man said he was with United Legal Department or something to that effect. They have called before from different numbers. IT IS A SCAM!!! They have my information and claim that I took out a payday loan and never paid it back. I have verified that I do not owe this company money, but the always call and threaten legal action. It is a complete scam. DELETE THE MESSAGE AND NEVER CALL THEM BACK. I have tried calling them back and telling them to stop calling, but it is better to just not respond to these scumbags!
I just received a call from a man "Adam Smith", nice Indian name. This is the second scam I have been put through in a month. I received previous calls from a different number threatening me. It's horrible and will not call them back. It scares me that they have my information. Is it possible to get a new social security number because of scam artists like this? How are they getting away with this? These scammers make me sick!!!
I got the same phone call...however this man was very rude! He also said his name was "Adam Smith" and that there was a legal claim against me. He also had my ssn which is a little scary. I think that they are just phishing for info...so do not give them any info about yourself! I have printed my credit report and I am just going to keep a close eye on it for any fraudulent activity. And no it is not possible to get a new ss number.
