Well i got a call today cant remember his name but the number was 205-258-1808 . He said he was with the FTC and i had a warrant out for my arrest and would spend 90 days in jail and go in front of a judge and jury lol a jury . Give me a break . Well he said i owed student loans and cash advance of america , and other stuff . I had to pay it in full 1200.00 or i could pay 350.00 in 2 hrs and make payment arrangements . And if i didnt take his call when he called me back i would be arrested . So i called cash of america told them what just happened and they said it was a scam and i reported it to . Well he called back and i didnt answer .
I received a voicemail from this number -I didn't answer. I spoke to local police who said if I were named in a lawsuit my local county courthouse would have sent me a notification. Even if the company were in Alaska they'd have to file with my county. Also, Reddit allows people from outside the US to sign up for domestic U.S. numbers so that they can't be traced back to their home country. In the end they hope to scare you by saying that if you pay this debt over the phone with a debit or credit card then you won't be arrested. People that don't know any better (and you would have received something in writing if you were really being sued) will hear them say the last 4 digits of your social sec. # (which is easy to get for anyone who has ever used the internet for shopping or banking) and think they know all of your information. They don't have your whole # -something else they try to trick people into telling them- they just have the final 4 digits so don't share. Report them.
This Michael Jones has been calling my mother who is 73 telling her she is being sued and her ss# was also being sued. He was screaming at her telling her she did not understand and etc. etc.I was here when it happened I called him back and cussed him out and told him to never call her back I was going too the local police.
I have received numerous calls from this "Leo Fernandez" of US Legal Services - was on the phone with him for about 10-15 minutes trying to get information from him....I asked if this was Leo and he responded yes - he proceeded to ask me for my phone number and I was very adamant about giving him that information - so I went on to say that he was the one that contacted me just seconds ago that he should have that information on hand - so we argued about that why was he leaving threatening phone messages and he clearly denied it and I went on to say I have your VM. I continued to get information from him and even asked for a supervisor and he said there were about 7k people working in cases there are no supervisors.... I jotted the date and time I spoke to this (India) accent with a name Leo Fernandez didn't match up. I did a search...Low and behold this is what I found. SCAM - Contact 911 to report
9/5/13 @11:46am-12:00noon Yesterday 9/4/13 @1:32pm So Leo if you're out there reading these comments or messages we're into you.!!
Was called by this guy claiming to be attorney mike jones... an indian - very heavy accent - stating that i was to pay US Legal Services a sum of 1500.00 or face 90 days in jail.... i was going to be arrested at my house and my employment was going to be terminated. He would not provide me an address or the name of the firm he worked for or the name of his supervisor. all he did was tell me the above information that either i pay up or face jail time of which there was going to be no bail allowed. and that i would be arrested today by my local court system. i called him back after seeing these posts... i did online complaints with both alabama states attorney website and md states attorney website....in addition to contacting my lawyer and local police
