Got a call from this number today and told me he needed to talk to my attorney.. when I asked what it was in regards to he stated I was facing fraud check deception and some other crap charges. I called back and left a voicemail and told him to serve me papers and I'd see him in court. I work for a sheriff's department so they picked the wrong person this time!!
Mr. Anderson certainly is a busy man! Left a very threatening voicemail about fraud, needed to call him today, etc, etc. Only problem is, I am in a completely different state so this "case number" I was given is it for my state or yours? Nice try.
mr. anderson called me also saying it is due to check fraud...call back voicemail...if it was truely a court case with fraud serve me papers..he said he does not need to provide me anything in writing and by my rights yes they do...glad i have a brother thats an attorney...scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:
I just received a call from the mysterious Carl Anderson with the same song and dance (and he even called my Brother in Law), he had my name wrong but the interesting thing is it is a different phone number than what is posted here, he called me from 210-764-4106
got a call from carl Anderson from litigation inc saying the same thing, the day before it was maria sanchez from stone and associates. all from san Antonio tx but abt 3 diff nembers. I asked for proof of this debt and he said he would have to call me back.
