I received a call from someone at 213-232-5902 today on my cell phone. The person leaving the message barely spoke English and I could barely understand anything they were saying - I had to play it twice to get the number. The background noise was very loud, like they were in a room with other people leaving similar messages. I have no clue who these people are or what company they represent but they sound shady and I will be contacting the state attorney general regarding the call.
I received 21 calls today from a disconnected local cell phone number, 918-879-0020, from a man named "Nash" who stated he was the attorney for SonicCash.net, stating that he had my social security number [I asked him to give me that number, which he did] and my banking information [which was thankfully wrong] stating that I owed them $7000 dollars. I received the phone number 213-232-5902 from him. It's a scam, similar to the Nigerian/Maltese bank fraud scams. It's interesting, though, because I asked to speak to the owning attorney, and the same guy came back on the line stating he was "Tim". I reported them to the FTC. He also kept stating that I was "Mister" so-and-so. I'm a chick, with a semi-high-pitched female voice. Idiots.
Simon Jones called me 3x yesterday here at my office and almost got me fired! He told me that he was working with the local law enforcement agency and that they where coming to get me for FRAUD...He told my boss that I had til 11 am today to call however when I did call the number was busy. The 1st time he called me he gave all my info and said that I never paid for a loan and that I owe 1200.00. He also wanted me to give him a credit card number so that this would all go away!! I would not give him that info. There was alot of noise in the back ground and I could never understand fully what he was telling me.. How can we make them go away?
This is my second set of phone calls from this type of scam. The first set came for about 5 days straight right before Christmas. Those came up as "Unknown" on my cell's caller id. This time the caller id says 98232. I don't answer it and the message is always exactly the same - middle eastern accent reading a script and giving me an obviously fake American sounding name. Wants me or my attorney of record to call back, it's "time-sensitive," and if he doesn't hear from me all he can do is wish me luck. The first time, it just stopped. This time, they are actually addressing the message to my son, who is ONE! (Maybe I should hire him an attorney to handle all these debts he's racked up in his first year of life. :p) I would like to know how these scam artists got his name and my number. It's really upsetting and the calls are annoying the life out of me! I haven't called back but am considering answering next time they call just so I can give them a piece of my mind!
