I got the same guy calling me. I'm pretty gullible...just a grandmother from NJ...he scared the life out of me...I became very ill.....part of me knew it was a scam, but the more I called him on it, the more threatening he became...I want to find this man and put him away!
I just got this same call, except I called him on it being a scam, or that I wsa not going to give out any personal info to him, then, in that broken english, he said something, then hung up!!
more than likely ( 99 % ) one of the several " 202" area code fraud scams going around !!!
PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- also impersonating US MARSHALLS / DEA AND DRUN ENFOREMENT etc....
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers 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 / $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....just provide you 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
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc........
