I received a call from this Ronnie Cooper recently and was so scared that I bit into his scam-even attempted to send the money he was demanding from me. My story is the same as most of the above, and basically this man threatened me to within an inch of my physical and financial life. Change your phone number and banking information and notify the FTC if you are contacted by this individual. It is a scam and they are criminials.
Received the same call and threats as stated above. Am supposed to call him back today with money, have already filed a complaint with the FTC and am notifiying my local law enforcement. Will let you know if I end up arrested as he states.
This is a criminal extortion ring operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
