I received a call from first a man stating he was Sam Connor from 310-974-8088. He left me 7 voicemails in one day stating good luck if I didn't return the call. They stated that I owed money and they would arrest me at work if I didn't send the money. I hung up and contacted the police. Now they are calling my home phone, my cell phone and my boyfriend's cell phone. and now they are stating that their name is David Williams from 209-670-9264. This is a scam and the police stated that there is really nothing they can do, as they are from out of the country. I would recommend getting on your do not call registery.
I received calls to my work and my cell phone. Saying I owed some InstaCash payday company. Wouldn't give any info about it except that I have to fax them a letter and make a payment of at least half or they were filing charged against me today and would have me served at work and I would get fired. They were from a law office not sure which one. All kinds of threats and I could barely understand them. No Idea where they got my information. When they call the number shows up 1000. Strange calls.
I am glad I looked this up online before I tried to pay them for the 'InstaCash' Loan which I owed $645.00 for allegedly. They also asked me to send a notarized letter with $200 cash and they would 'put a hold on my case'. They also claimed to be from Mcdougan Law Firm in California which does not exist. They did have heavy accents and had names like Frank Wilson and Shane Johnson which made me suspicious as well. 209-670-9264
I called this number again and it has been disconnected just that quickly. A law firm eh? Yeah right. I got 8 calls yesterday. I reported this to the FBI and the phone company that carries the 209 prefix, PacWest Telecom in California and they were going to block the number. Apparently they had already heard about this scam. Don't be afraid! Be empowered!
I am so glad to know that so many people have had this same experience. They have been calling my work number since yesterday over and over again, to the point of harrassment. They all have heavy Indian accents and threaten that that they are going to download my file and send the sheriff to my place of employment to serve me papers. They can be very convincing if you are not aware of what's going on. First time they called, the number was 202 481 3310. Then when he gave me the number to call back, it was 209 670 9264. When they called my cell phone, the number showed up as 0000. This is clearly a scam and they are using it to frighten people into paying for something that they don't even owe. The first company that called was First State Attorney Services. When they called back, it was Federal Law Department of U.S. Government and the guy's name was Richard Wright. They tried this same scam on me many months ago with no success. They always come back with a different scam months later. I am going to report this to the FBI as well and have my number blocked.
