I got the same call today but it didn't show up as 911 it showed up as the phone # itself and I got the same voicemail as everyone else that if I didn't call back in a timely manner I would be arrested. So I called back & they were claiming I had taken out an online payday advance and I was being charged with 3 class 3 felonies and it scared me to death as well. So I called my bank & they went back to when I had opened my account & looked all through it & I had never gotten a direct deposit payday loan, so I called my lawyer and was told right then that it was a SCAM & not to give them any information or anything she said they do not have any real information they are just trying to get your credit card or debit card information..
I just got a call on my cell phone and the caller ID came in as 911. I was freaked out thinking one of my children were in trouble. Then I got the same story as eveyone else. I would be arrested if I didnt call the number 201 942-2840 back and turn myself in. I did go online about 2 months ago and was searching around looking at pay day loans, to see how they all operated. What a mess! I got thousands of email an hundreds of phone calls. One company even charged my checking account $30 dollars which I have been disputing for the last two months to get my money back. I go a direct call from someone stating I owed them some money for a pay day loan I never took and now today I get this call. I sure hope someone tracks these folks down and hangs em! I am a Mother of 3 and it scared the daylights out of me. Now I am just angry and cant wait for them to call back. THANK YOU for this blog because it puts my mind at rest. I had a twinge of a feeling it was all fraud, but I am shocked and amazed at the depths these people go thru. Its a scam....Please lets track them down and stop these crooks.
I recieved several phone calls from 201 942 2840 and it started to irritating me. They left several messages and when I called back, the same guy who has an American name do not speak English very well answered and he said he needed to transfer my call to his suppervisor. It comes to find out there are only two people who is doing this SCAM. They are Indians and claim to have American names. When I ask for the account number of the loan they claimed i owed, their replied, they can't share those information with me. I called them back with different numbers and sure enough the same female and a male who are scamming everyone about this pay day loan issue.
I just received a 911 call on my job and the guy had a heavy accent, Middle Eastern accent. He said his name was Deputy Rick Davis and he was with the Arkansas State Police Department. He said I needed to call Matt Johnson at 201-942-2840 as soon as possible and turn myself in or I would be arrested for fraud. he would not give me any information other than to call this number. I called the Arkansas State Police Department and they did not have anyone by that name nor would they handle a situation in this manner. This guy has called before but this is the first time he has given an American name or a title such as Deputy.
