they have called me and my dad numerous times, these people are fakes, they have your name because you did something on the internet whether a payday loan or something like that. dont pay them any attention just tell them you are going to have your attorney all them and to stop harrassing you or they will be sued or jail time. threaten them and fight fire with fire and watch they will stop calling..its really hilarious because they sound so stupid!!!! LOL LOL with the heavy accent and urgency to pay them! LOL LOL i hope they are stopped soon because they also had me and my dads work number.
I got a call from this number - threatened that if I didn't call back, I would loose my job, reputation and Social Security number. HA! What a bunch of idiots - DO NOT fall for this. Do you really think that the Federal Government would be calling you about a crime and/or debt? Sounds like a bill collector trying to be sneaky...
If this really was something Federal - you would received registered mail at the very least, if not a summons or warrant. "Officer" Ross Taylor -couldn't even understand him with his think, Indian accent. I'm sure there are numerous Ross Taylor's in India....
Yes I just got a call just like what you described. The only thing that through me off was he knew information about me. I could not understand a word he said and he couldn't even answer my questions without waiting to read something off a screen.
I got a call from this guy named Troy Russle he said he was from the FBI and that I was going to go to jail if I didnt pay him $500.00. It was hard to understand him. He kept saying I needed to pay this soon before it goes to court. He said someone is pressing charges on me for fraud. He said that if I did not pay this I was going to jail for fraud.
Got a call, too. It really upset me. Like you said, they said they were from either Estate Collection Companay or The State Collection Company. At first I thought maybe it had something to do with my student loans, so I called back. Said I was being sued for fraud, said they couldn't give me the phone number of the company they were suing for, because it would be defamation of character?!? What the heck? I couldn't understand half of what they were saying, and they kept calling me mister (I'm a girl). I tried contacting the company mentioned by them and all my emails come by as undeliverable and there's no phone number or address on the website. I was upset about this all day, thinking I really did forget to pay off a loan or something. Thanks for your posts, they were helpful. If they are a real collection agency, they could be in big trouble for claiming to be someone they are not. They only claimed to be a legal firm when I called them back, but the person who ansered the phone only ansered "hello", and did not give a business greeting. Weird.
OMG they call me all the time & yes it is Fraud, let your local police know about it because AT&T has a case filed against them for letting these people keep the phone numbers for fraudulent calls!!! I just hung up with "John" from this number 206-801-3409 and told him off. Anyone can get the last 4 digits of youer social and your address!!! I keep the number and every once in awhile call them giving them sh*t!!! They get angry, its hard to understand them but funny!!!
