I just got a call from this number. A heavily accented man I think his first name was either Randy or Rondy....could not catch the last name as well as the company name. Could only understand that it was from Washington D.C. and I was to return his call as soon as possible. He would be looking for my return call. I played the message over and over, and never could figure the entire thing out.....therefore, I consider not worth the effort to call.
recieved call from subject claiming to be Jerry Thompson from Federal Trade Comission saying that I had won $300,000 from publishers clearing house and that I would have to buy a $3,000 insurance policy from Lioyds of London in order for them to send the winnings and to call Richard Kauvy at 914 371-6152 which is supposed to be Lloyds of London
I received call from this and it showed up as local call w/ local # but caller said he was Ron Clark from Washington Department of Justice and to call ASAP the 202-740-1422 " This person also had heavy accent. I discussed w/ a friend which then called the # and realized it was a scam from his office #.
Just received a call from 202-740-1422 from some immigrant named Dwayne. Said that he was calling from the Fraud Department and how there was a package at the New York airport for me from Publishers Clearing House......I said yeah right. He said that I needed to call Customs at 718-285-8747 and ask for Larry Fulton and the package number is CL995.
I called them, *67, and told them both to lose my number!
Just received the same call from 202-740-1422 from a heavy-accented man named Rondy Clar (I made him spell out his name to me) from the Department of Justice Fraud Department in DC. He advised Customs had intercepted a check for $750K (claim ticket # CL995) for me & I need to call 718-285-8747 at NY's JFK airport and speak to Larry Fulton in Customs to verify my info to forward the check to me. I asked Rondy his DOJ badge number; he said it was 3995 - how conveniently close to my claim # ! Of course, I did not take the bait.
I called my city Police Department and a Fraud Detective said it was a federal offense to claim to be from the DOJ and/or from Customs.
I also called the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY at 888-382-1222 to update my number. After 31 days if they call again it will a federal crime as well!
