This number continues to call house several times a day, we finally answered this and preceeded to request them not to call our home again. The male on the line began to get into an argument with my husband when we requested them not to call saying you think your tough. Then hung up on us. I wold like to know who this number is assigned to so I can make a formal complaint about the contstant calling and the way they presented themself to us on the phone.
202-241-5536 keeps calling claiming that i took out a payday loan that i have never took or applied and need to pay it back bc they are filing charges against me for check fraud and i will be served and arrested at work. It was a lawyers office first claiming to try to help me out by jus payin it and now it is an police officer and have no idea who it is or why thwy are claiming to be or why they are calling bc i never took out a payday loan

some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign call centers / countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers mostly in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / calling on behalf of a humane society..... $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you / give ....just provide your bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams............
