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....
said they were nj...my hometown state...when i called back i asked them from what state they were calling and they said washington...definately a scam trying to happen
Recv'd call from Troy Russell, Marcus Polo, Jerry Martin from "Federal Crime Investigatos." They are a bunch of scam artists from middle-eastern ethniticity! We actually called our local PD and contacted FBI regarding this matter. According to the FBI, these scammers are just "fishing" for information which is technically not illegal. Once you start conversating with these criminals, it is obvious they are VERY unprofessional and they are using "American" names. They threaten to come to your house, throw you in jail, take you to court, but for some reason cannot provide a valid street address for their company in Sierra, Washington. We thought it was amusing so we called them back and decided to harrass them for a little bit....it is pretty funny when you can just call up letting them know you are returning their phone call and pose as "Elizabeth Taylor" or "Tom Cruise" and they will try to say you have a case file and they are looking for it. The number of people we spoke became annoyed with our never ending phone calls to them and ended their conversation by either hanging up or telling us we are "dumb F****** Americans!" At one point, they asked my husband to stop calling them and apologized to him saying it was a big mistake. They do have caller ID, so they blocked my husband's number. FYI, if you let them know it is illegal to pose as any type of federal government personnel and call back they will change their name to "State Crime Investigators."
A man who I could barley understand called me the number 052-569-163 showed up on my caller ID. He said his name was Roy Miller and that my friend put me down as a reference and I was involved in some fraud activity along with my friend. He gave me the number 206-801-3409 to give to my friend. He was very strange on the phone asking odd questions like what did I do for a living, where do I goto school and if I lived alone. I refused to give him any of my information and he began telling me about himself like how tall he was, then asked if "we friends now" I told him he was crazy and I was calling my local Sheriffs Dept. He sounded a little scared then but kept with the no no we is friends. I am a minor and my mother got on the phone with him funny thing was we kept it on speaker he changed his story when she was on the phone with him. I have received several phone calls from this man and now I am just going to start to drive him crazy enough to leave me alone he'll find out pretty soon he has called the wrong girl to try and scam. :) If you get a call from them just give em hell DON'T TELL THEM ANYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF!! But do threaten to contact authority's because that scares them. When I first got the call I was scared but now I'm looking forward to him calling back just so I can tell the [***] OFF! I suggest changing your number by the way just so they can't get a hold of you anymore. Mine will be changed very soon.
