I also got a call from "Jack Austin". I used to work for a payday loan company and know the laws of my state. I told him I wouldn't pay anything until I had received written documentation certified mail. He informed me that I could only be sent the "affidavit" via email. I told him fine, send it via email. He had my name, address, SSN and email when he called me. He told me that he would get me fired and that I'm committing fraud and would go to jail if I didn't pay it. I told him he could threaten me all he wanted but I wouldn't pay anything until I knew who the money was owed to and had it in writing and hung up on him. He called back 30 minutes later to tell me the email had arrived. It was from a gmail account. None of the fonts in the email matched what is on the http://www.fincen.gov/ website. Seriously? None of the "documentation" even looks legit. I've filed a police report as well as a IC3 report. I also called the FinCEN General Information Line at (703) 905-3591. The recorded message said they are closed due to the government shut down. Don't give your information out to anyone.
I've been scammed by these companies and the worst comes out of india. They make up fake names and keep pulling up old payday loans and they call all the time. Anybody with an accent tell them you know they are a scam and hang up. They won't call back. If they do what are they going to say?
John Abraham from the Crime Detection Unit.
This individual has been harassing me for the past 6 months. He called my job and even insulted my supervisor calling her a [***]. He threaten me he would make me lose my job and to obtain to the consequences. I WAS A NERVOUS RECK because he also told me that the police was going to arrest me either at my job or residence. They should not be allowed to put people through this torment.
He is still calling me and told me I had to send $900.00 dollars through Western Union. He became extremly rude when I started questioning him. He would not give me any information so I told him if he thought I stupid to send him money. At the end of the call, he would say May God Bless You.
Called looking for a specific employee. Identified himself as John Abraham of the Crime Prevention & Detection Unit. I took his number, and voile, my suspicions were confirmed. He is misrepresenting himself as a police authority of the State of Alabama located in Birmingham.
Some guy called threatening to send the police to my work to drag me to the court house to take care of a debt I do not owe. He is not American, he has a distinct Indian accent. He was abusive and refused to tell me how much I owe. Said he was calling regarding a company called Cash Advance.
Some foolby the name of Agent Williams called my job on yesterday saying that it was urgent that I call them immediately. Well, I wasn't there but a co-worker took the message and said that when she asked him for a number he gave her the number 205-304-7059 rudely! She automatically knew it was a scam and so did I when I called the nunber this morning. The message on the phone said, "I'm not available just call back." Wtf!!!!!
