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!!
Just to let everybody know, I just got off the phone with my local FBI unit, and they said that if they only have the last 4 digits of your SS #, then you are in NO danger, only if they somehow got your whole number, then you would be in danger, but wanted to let you all know that "" officer'' John Peterson is nothing but a scam who wants money, and it sounded like the FBI have been getting similar complaints fro others
EVERYONE, CALL THE FBI IN SEATTLE, WA ABOUT THESE PEOPLE
HARASSING US. 206-622-0460 I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE PHONE CALLS!

This is the number I was given to return a call from a man with a thick Indian accent who told me that I was being charged with fraud for allegedly not paying back a payday loan. He said the police will be arresting me the next day. He also said he was revoking my driver's liscense. He had my social security number and the names of my siblings. When I asked him for a fax number he called me a Mother F.*$!@ and hung up. The best thing about it was I had him on speaker phone and a state trooper heard the entire thing. It's a complete scam.
I just a call on my cell phone telling me I owed $626.00 from 10/2009. They gave me the name of my old bank and the last four of my social. I assume that they purchased the information for a real company that I did dealing with. I told him that this is a dumb scam, if you are telling me that I got a loan through direct deposit and you have the bank name, the bank would be able to confirm whether or not the transaction ever took place. He could not give me any names or numbers of place the could confirm his alligations. People really think Americans are stupid. My dial tone got the last laugh. Sue me.
