This is a scam. The caller, usually with Indian accent, says you owe some outstanding dept, perhaps a payday loan, or whatever, and he/she will wipe your record clean for only $100.00, or someother amount. Just tell them to put you on the DO NOT SCAM LIST and hang up. They will likely call back numerous times just to hassle you, but the best way to combat this is don't answer their calls. Be advised they have the capability to make any number they want show up on your caller I.D., so don't be fooled if it says 911 is calling. As for keeping them from calling you again, I don't know of a way to do that just yet.
It's the same scam over & over. Caller id's himself as "Officer", says he's an officer of the court (???), I have a legal matter. He reads from a script, stumbles over some of the words, can't speak English well enough for me to understand. Says he could help me out of this matter. I could give him my bank account # or credit card # and it would be wiped off my "record". Yeah, right!! Oh, one more thing. I hung up and received a call right back from "MY OWN CELL NUMBER".
Some Indian person kept calling saying the same thing, he was an officer and there was a case pending against me for over 5 grand and if I would give him 100 dollars the case would be dismissed. I guess I made fun of him too much and ticked him off because he kept calling back for a while. I guess he was tired of my voicemail. Said he would have an officer on my door tomorrow. I said go ahead. They call about every few months and when I tell them I know it's a scam they don't call back. You can hear the people in the back, it sounds like a call center.
I have been getting the same phone calls plus they are calling my place of employment. They are saying I owe around $5000 for payday loans and the court cost. They hacked in on my place of employment's phone somehow and I thought it was my place of employment calling me. Does anyone know how to stop them?
My husband received the same call on Friday on his cell phone and I received one today at my place of employment. This is weird because we haven't even been married a month and we have no combined debts at this point. They are also referring to me with my maiden name. I think it's bizarre that this place is contacting both of us. I would love to find a way to make them stop calling my place of employment.
