Just reeceived a call from this number on my cell phone. He told me that I have a law-suit being filed against me and when I told him that I didn't know anything about a lawsuit he told me to call 213-289-3746 and speak to thier lawyer right away. I am not calling them back and they can keep calling if they want, I will just add them to my phone's "Black List".
I have been receiving the same call a man with a heavy Indian/foreign accent and he also is telling me that they are coming to my job to arrest me for a payday loan that I have outstanding and my loan is paid in full. he keeps calling my job and my cell phone. what should I do.
Print off this thread and give it to your employer. This is an extortion scam:
If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:
■Notify your banking institutions.
■Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
■Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
■File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:
■Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
■Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
■Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
■Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
■Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
■When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements
