Received the call at 10:08 PM. It was all garbled and I couldn't understand the caller. Guess it didn't matter. Tried to call back and get a recording that the number is no longer in service.
Called and said my visa was cancelled and asked me to type in my account number to re activate fishing phone call pretty tricky be aware these peeps are hackers
this number is calling my work place and giving me information about a Debt collector I have issue wiht,
by the name of URG? and left this number of 800.
they call my work place and then leave this message so the two may be connected.
I have reported it to the authority and my lawyer.
The girl from URG said she would send the police to my job,
Got a call advising that my husband needed to call and pay for his defrauding a financial institution to avoid further criminal action against him. Also advised they would show up and home, work, and family member's houses till hes located. I really am hoping but doubtful of their showing up at my residence. Though I'd welcome them with open arms. Firearms that is! I can't believe the government allow these a$$holes to pull this $hit!
The government isn't actually letting them get away with this. Its been pretty clear that they are breaking the laws, but it takes time for the government to catch up with them. Filing reports as mentioned under many of these same style extortion calls does help! FBI, State Attorney generals office as well as the FTC, BBB,FCC..
Some of these calls are not even made from the US though. Some are spoofed calls and calls from foreign country's. If they originate outside the US, then it becomes a international problem and unless that country is willing to work with the US then they continue on..
Do read through some of the other threads here.. real eye openers as to this extortion racket going on! Also do read up on your FDCPA rights and states rights and follow through with the filing of reports & complaints to the Federal and State authority's
So, got a VM on my cell phone from 213.217.9953 from an Investigator Young, stating my name, that there was a civil case pending in their office, and that I had 24 hours to respond to 877-360-6464, ending with a final "You have been notified"
Sooo, being who I am, I called that number, from another number than the one I was contacted on, and requested to know the name of the company making the contact. The "receptionist" informed me that she was just the receptionist and that there were multiple companies at that phone number. So, I gave her the extension 107, and she put me through. I remained polite yet firm. When the "Investigator Young" answered the phone, I again stated that I had received a threatening VM and was attempting to ascertain from what company it was from. She stated that there were several companies that she dealt with and that she would need either a name or the phone number the call was made to before she could give me anymore information.
Now, a short aside here, she had just called and left a VM on my cell phone not 10 mins before, so it begs to wonder how many of those she makes in a day and for how many different companies. Also, I haven't taken out any payday loans since 2005 and they were cleared almost immediately. It was an emergency and it was taken care of on the next paycheck, nothing since then.
I again politely but firmly stated that I was just trying to figure out what company it might be so I could do my own investigating before giving out any more of my information to an unknown company for unknown, possibly nefarious purposes. She was not amused and stated that without a name or a phone number she was not required to give me any more information. And then she hung up on me.
