Same here Alex! I'm not planning on calling back but save the number under B*S* so when they call back I can polightly discuss how unbeliveably stupid it is to call a cop and try to pull a scam :) maybe they should research their prey a little more carefully lol!!
HI! I HAVE BEEN RECIEVING PHONE CALLS FROM THIS SAME PERSON FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS SAYING I OWE HIM 452.00 FROM A PAYDAY LOAN. HOW DID YOU GET HIM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE??
I also received a call from this number and this one, 914-205-2436. Stating this was officer rogers and that he has my address and ss#. Stating I owed an 'outstanding balance' from a payday loan. I argued with this guy for about 10 minutes. They he hung up on me stating he was going to have me arrested. He ended the phone call saying, "may god be with you." How do I get this guy to stop calling?
Mr. Michael Peterson from Global Winners called this morning telling me that I had won $950K and a Mercedes. He told us that we needed to give him $315 dollars and he would deliver the check. As the call progressed, I asked him to send me a copy of the check. I must mention that he had our name, address, and phone number. He appeared to have a spanish accent. He sent me the copy of the so-called Certified Check #0348927 from Bank of America. We told him we were going to take the check to Bank of America; he immediately told us that if we did that the winnings would be null and void. I asked to speak to his supervisor; he put me on hold and connected me with Paul Washington, who sounded just like Michael Peterson. Mr. Washington asked me what I was calling about. He did not know us, nor did he know Michael Peterson. He eventually tapped on his computer and said that Mr. Peterson was his employee but he didn't know him personally. We looked up this phone number on Google, found these posts, and started reading the posts to Michael Peterson. He was very rude and condescending, started telling me we were fools because we didn't want the money, then hung up.
I already posted about the Global Winners phone call. This guy has called us 3 other times indicating that we won money; 1st call $1.5 Million, 2nd call $500K, and then this time for $950K. Each time he indicates that we must pay him $300-400 dollars to take delivery of check. He states that four people will come to our door, a US Marshall, 2 people from his office and the UPS person to collect the delivery fee of $300 or whatever amount they are trying to scam us out of at the time. He states that they will accompany us to the bank. as soon as we deposit the check, we are required to give "cash" to the UPS guy. I've called the number and it is not blocked. We have been told that the check is not "good" until the funds are moved to that account AFTER the delivery money is collected. We've also informed our Sheriffs Department. They were not aware of this new scam. Michael Peterson was quite upset when we started reading these posts to him over the phone. He hung up very quickly.
