I received a voice message from a woman with foreign accent (she sounded as if she may have been from the African continent) advising me that my loan had been approved. I called back and spoke with a young man (he sounded as if he may have been from the African continent) advising me of approval of a loan that I applied for two weeks ago. I told him several times that I did not apply for a loan and do not apply for loans on line. There was a man in background, I guess giving instructions (alright, from the African continent), who took over the phone and proceeded with using profanity. I understood the four-letter words and a five-letter one to describe my person.
I advised him that he could not speak the English language and should not be offering loans under any circumstances and disconnected the call. I also added the number to my blocked phone list.

Received a call from this number twice this afternoon. The first time a Voice mail was left by a foreign sounding male said that my loan applications for $8000 had been approved and I needed to call back to confirm where to send the money. The second call no Voice mail left. I did not call back and glad I checked this website....but didn't apply for any loan anyway...so I knew it was a scam right away....
A man identified himself as Chris Jackson from the FDA. He had my first name & maiden last name (that I have not used in 10+ years). He had a thick East Indian accent and the connection was a little fuzzy. I asked he why the FDA was calling me. He said that he had information that I had a recent surgery with complications and was entitled to over $8,000 in compensation. I asked him where he got this information because it was incorrect. He said that according to his records that I had a surgery in 2009 and another in 2011. (Not true) He also cited a long list of symptoms and said that I had a vaginal mesh transplant. I told him that none of it was true, it sounded like a scam, that I was hanging up, and not to call me again. So far, I have not received any more calls from this number.
