I received the same disturbing call today. They mention that they are an "officer of the Federal Goverment and a warrant was going to be issued for me". Apparently, I was given a payday loan in May 2011 and when they tried to get their money back, it was returned. Funny thing is....I didn't even have this checking account in May. I printed out a bank statement just to prove to them that no such deposit of $300 was ever given to me and the man begin yelling at me. I was threated that I was going to jail if I did'nt comply. He then went on saying if I pay today with a credit card, I would not have to appear in court. After arguing with this non-English speaking person, I called the police and reported them. This is a complete scam and I'm sure many people out there fall for it, but I'm not one of them!!!
I have gotten numerous calls from this number as well, the man with the foreign accent has left me voicemails, saying he was from the FBI, and that there was going to be a warrant for my arrest, he even had the last 4 numbers of my social security number. This is NOT ok!
i continue to receive calls from several men who are arab possibly hard to understand, they told me that they're from the federal law office something. they really had me angry, i do not have a loan or anything like that through these people and they must of called me at work in the last 2 days more than 15 times and at home more than 20 times. i have really weird messages on my answering machine, they are extremely rude, so if you do get a call from someone like this your best bet is to tell them to shove it up there [***] because arguing back with these people does not work. i asked to speak with a manager and was told that he does not want to speak with you. i told him that i thought he was a scammer and i was going to contact the police to try to scare him. but they are very very rude and it took alot to not flip the hell out on these people. everything they tell you doesnt' even make sense.
