Yes..I have just received a call from "Harvey" on my cell phone, as well as my work... (it was Officer Smith that called my work)..... I am frigging fed up with this crap.
Subject states he is an agent w/ the federal govt. Threatened to "take me down" if I did not wire $$ to him to settle a debt that I supposedly owe. When I started questioning him he began backtrackimg and at one point became unprofessional telling me I'm "trying his patience".
I got the same phone call at work today, and I went to the police department and they called them.The so called FBI agent hung up on the officer. Was his name "Harvey"
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/phished loan application data to extort money or personal info for fictitious crimes.

I got the same thing from A "Agent Harvey" he also said I owed a debt and was facing 5 years in prison and a fine of up to 10.000 to 15.000 dollars. He was very rude and a jerk. He threatened me and my family. He keeps calling me and making me very upset. He is very persistent please be aware of this number and man.
