i got the same call @ 5:00 in the morning. i was pretty pissed off too. i don't know if its legit. he had an arabian accent and he told me he had a legal matter to discuss with my husband but being that my husband was not home i would think he would've told me what the matter was since im his wife, but he didn't. im going to look more into this matter because it does sound suspicious to me. i don't even know what company he's representing or anything. wish you luck though.
My fiance received a call from this # today as well saying that they had a legal issue to discuss and that he was going to be arrested tomorrow over a loan he did not take out. They did not want to provide any information at all and only said "this is your time to pay, you are a criminal in the United States."
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is this a scam?
I just got a call from this number or this is the number he gave me to call back and the person that answers keeps hanging up on me when I call back. I got a similar call last week and have now decided to call the FTC and the FBI about this. I started to laugh at him and told him I knew it was a scam and he said "You are laugh at me!" In perfect English of course. I knew it was a scam from the start because I haven't taken a payday loan out, and to top it off he said that my references were going to be arrested as well, or what? knowing me? Right. Then he asked if I had any previous charges and when I told him no he still went on to say he would inform my employer of my past criminal activity. I laughed again and asked if he thought I would get fired for a speeding ticket since that is the lengthy record I have and he gave me a bogus number to call back in the morning and to pay them or I would be "drag behind bar" and "spoke to the Judge" in the morning. Give me a break, if this keeps up I will visit the police in LA at the end of the month when I am out their on business and file a local report as well.
This is a scam I got a similiar call @ my work and they told me they were going to come arrest me at 3pm today. They called me a criminal and said I took out a payday loan in 2007 and i've never taken one out in my life. They also had my social security #. I reported them as well.
