I also received a call from someone 2/24/2010. I was at work and only answered due to the fact that I was expecting an important call about a REAL important matter. The call came from 52797982 which was odd. The person had a strong mid eastern accent and I could barely understand him. He said for me to speak to his supervisor. They stated the last 4 of my social and my name. I told them that I would need to return the call. He told he was calling from Criminal Invest. Dept or something saying I had a suit filed on me for a loan online with Bank1 or something like that. I knew that was not true. I told him I needed to call back and he gave me the 206 phone number and to ask for Paul Smith. He definitely was not a Paul Smith! He told me I better call before 4 PM. I looked up the number and it shows unlisted number out of WA state and from Communication One? I called my cell carrier to find out about the number that they called from and they told me it shows as Richmond, VA. I also live in VA. They then called and did not leave messages but called 11 times in a row. I had a voicemail later that night that I could barely understand. I left a voicemail for them stating that I wanted more information and to call and leave a voicemail for me. They did not. I called later today and now I get a fast busy signal. I need to call my bank and credit companies. Scary.
Very scary indeed! Check out the www.ic3.gov fbi complaint website. Report it to everyone! I have also contacted our local news media and they are all over this story! Obviously happening all across the US. An earlier post stated that it sounded like some sort of terrorism - In this crazy world we're living in -I wouldn't be surprised!
Anyone out there deal with these losers and had them STOP calling? If so - How long did it take for them to move on to their next victim? Three days so far and I am FED UP!
Yes, I started getting the calls and tracked down the number via reverse look-up. The number was spoofed out of Washington state, but I still contacted the police in that city. A detective started investigating and within a week he had two of the numbers shut down and had passed the info on to the FBI. They have quit calling, but I didn't ignore the calls, I answered and hung up immediately every time. Then they knew they couldn't get a rise out of me and they quit.
These people called my wife today and had the names joshua david anderson and marcus white. They had all of her information, at first we were worried but found out it was a scam. If you people all want to have a lot of fun call the number continually blocking your phone number with *67 443 221 4534 and prank them. We had them so mad that they were making threats to kill me and my family and do numerous sexual acts to us. But we continually called them back and pranked them, a lot of fun and a good laugh. They got so upset they started cursing at us in arabic or asianic whatevever language it was. They gave us an address to go fight them in Maryland.
