I received a call today from this number, they left a voicemail stating that there were severe criminal allegations about a former coworker of mine, and that they were forwarding the information to the courthouse tomorrow. Because I was listed as a reference to the loan, I was "equally involved and responsible". They left a number (206-424-8655) for me to call back to speak to "Dan Brown".
I called back, the same person that left me the message answered the call, as "Dan Brown".
He asked for my phone number, which I gave him and asked if I was "xxx xxxxx", I said that was no longer my last name, but wouldn't give him my correct info.
He told me to hold on and I said no, I will not, you called me and accused me of criminal activity, you will not put me on hold, you will listen to me.
He tried to tell me that it wasn't him, it was one of his 'junior associates' who left the message.
He told me that the person I used to work with sent them a loan document with my signature (which is a lie, I wouldn't cosign for my own mother, why would I cosign for a former coworker?!), I asked him to fax them to me. He said he would not.
I told him that the next phone call he gets will be from my sister who is an attorney, he proceeded to tell me that "tomorrow morning the officers are coming to arrest me" and he hung up.
I'm sure someone who is less educated on the scams out there would have called back already to try to resolve the 'issue' with the defaulted loan, and that's worrisome.
