Then called back again pretnding to be Officer Robin Williams, Officer Rick Williams, Officer Eric Williams and giving fake badge numbers. Trying to scam people to obtain money. Pls. report it to IC3, FTC, Attorney General and Social Security to protect yourself.
This man who told me his name was John Walter keeps calling me and telling me he is a paralegal from california and that criminal charges will be brought up on my husband if he does not call. After alot of research I found out this is just another scare scam to get you to pay up.
Paralegals do *not* call up and tell you "criminal charges will be brought up on my husband if he does not call" so you have a chance to flee. THIS IS AN EXTORTION SCAM. Scammers use bought/hacked loan application data to extort payments for fictitious debts from victims and victims' families and friends.
