I live on the big island of Hawaii. Today, Martin Anderson of WCCI called me from Texas, saying a California prosecutor contacted him to find me about a payday advance incident and give me the whole "pay now or you will be prosecuted" schtick. Two years ago I was dumb enough to fall for this and sent over $500 to a company in Jacksonville Florida.
MARTIN ANDERSON is the name used. 832-377-3048 is the number.
We have received several calls on our cell phones asking for a family members whereabouts. John Lomax was who he claimed to be. He also knew how we were related as well. He stated that our relative was going to go to federal prison if he did not contact him today. These are scammers and we have every intention of reporting them.
This is such a scam.He also claims to be a District Attorney who calls himself D.A.Follis,from San Antonio. Hey Dumb [***],I googled such a name and none excist in Texas.The number you called from is in Oklahoma. Don't believe it folks. He also calls from 405-217-4552 so be ready.
THIS IS AN EXTORTION SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and may be using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or extort personal info.

This is a scam..The phone number is a cell phone number. This is not a legitimate agency or even a company. It is a bottom feeder..I questioned the name of his company and he said WCCI.. that's a radio station u dumb a**..Report this s-bag to the local authorities, Attorney General's office and the FBI. He is violating several laws, with the worst being impersonation of a federal or law official. Wonder if low life can scam from a prison cell?????
I have receive several phone calls from 202-239-0307 name given was John Lomax stating I will go to jail if I did not wired a certain amount of money to him, he stated that he was a federal law official.
