Scam. They call me on all different numbers. .Today twice when the clock hit 8am. Been in touch with the BBB and the state and both said all these numbers are a scam. Best to not answer them. This will be number 9 of theirs to be blocked from calling my cell.
I am soooo glad I found this information!! I have been receiving phone calls about an employee for a couple of weeks, each time they call I say I do not know anyone by the name they are asking! Well today things got ugly. The man who called himself Patrick Wheeler asked me for my employee, when I said I didn't have anyone by that name and then told him this was a business number and we do not accept personal calls anyway, he said it was very important. I asked what it was about and the guy said my employee has used our company fraudulently. I said I would take a message and try to get it to the employee. So I took down his number. When I tried to ask him what company he said "A law firm". Then I asked him "What law firm" and he muttered something I could not understand. So I asked him to spell it but then he told me that was none of my business. So I said "Ok, if it's none of my business you need to stop calling this place of business!" and he hung up. A minute later he called back and asked for the employee again!!! I said "Are you seriously calling back here after the conversation we just had?" and he said yes I need to speak to John. I said "Look I don't know anyone here by that name. And he said "Don't get smart with me you M***** F*****!!" I hung up immediately!!!
He called back two more times after that, I ignored the first one that came up 0000 and then my employer answered the second one and got the same name calling. (We are both women as well). In the meantime, my John called Patrick and was hung up on repeadtedly. Seriously, I do not understand this scam if they are going to hang up on the person they are so passionately trying to reach!!! We are going to file a police report. The Patrick guy hung up on my employer when she said she was going to call the police and has not called back today. I will update if they continue to call or if we find a solution!!
The previous letters on this site were very helpful!! Keep spreading the word about these Scammers!!!
Same problem...They actually called me 12 times on Monday! Everytime I answer they hang up. Any ideas how I can get them to stop calling?? Got rid of one number calling excessively by saying I was reporting them to the police for harrassment but these people won't even answer when you pick up! Tired of it.
