I recieved a call saying i owed cashnet $1,095.They said an arresting officer will be by my house Monday to take me in front of the judge and i need a total of $5,000.He also said my references will be arrested as well.I told him good luck i've been on layoff for three months.He asked for my attorneys information.
I told them I didn't have one.When i asked who they were he said it's a law firm.Said he name is Josh kenney.He had to say his first name twice.Never known a Josh with an arabian accent.He kept going on and on.I told him i couldn't understand half of what he was saying.The funny part is they forgot thety called me and left another message an hour later and swore it was their first call.I told them to go f**k themselves.I know they're scammers.Haven't heard anything since.
My co-worker/high school buddy stated that I had a voicemail from a Michael (unknown last name due to strong accent). He had a strong either middle eastern accent or european accent with people talking in the background which made it harder to understand him. I didn't call back, due to the fact he called me at work, which is a hotel, and I would need the hotel's attorney to contact him if the call was for an incident that took place in the hotel and involved me. When I Googled the number, it lead me to this site, which pulls some relief out of my chest knowing that I'm not alone.
I too got a call at work form a man with a INDIA ACCENT saying that he was calling about the court case I was involved in tomorrow. I told him that I did not have a clue what he was talking about so he tried to give me so line about he would inform me of it but it would take some time. I told him i was at work and did not have time to talk right then and I would call him back so I needed a number. He was very reluctantly to give it to me but he finally did when I pushed him.
Call came from 213-261-0002. Strong indian accent as well. Told me I owed money back on a payday loan and I would be picked up tomorrow to be taken in front of the judge. Had a lot of old information about me; address, email and bank account are all different now. Wanted me to confirm my social security number for them and I refused. Had names of my family as well. I told him I never received money from a wire and he said I needed to prove that to the judge; which is no problem because I can prove that. I hung up on him and he called me right back and asked why I hung up. I told him because he was full of it and I didnt have to listen to him anymore. He said fine that I can go to the judge and I said ok. Then he hung up on me.
I got the same call. This guy really ticked me off. I reported to the FTC and secret service. I called him back looking for more information, and he told me I would find out tomorrow when I am behind bars. I asked him why I wasn't behind bars already like he said I would be, and he said just wait and hung up. What a moron. I wish I could meet him face to face.
