I got the same call today and they immediately started spouting off my social security number. I called the Federal Trade Commission to report it and they had me report identity theft since these guys some how got my social security number. I also put a fraud alert on my credit report. These guys are unbelieveable!
I got a call from this number some indian guy named anthony said that i still owed on a payday loan that i know i paid off he said that he was from the department of financial crimes and that if i did not pay this loan i would be arrested he called several times to my job harrassing me and telling my supervisor that i was a suspect in several crimes i contacted my attorney generals office and spoke with a lawyer. I also reported potential identity left b/c they had my social. whenever i tried to contact them they would always answer "front desk" if you get a call do not send money it is a scam report this to the local athorities.
I received a phone call from 214-269-8550 with a message to call them right away or legal procedures would follow. I don't know who this number belongs to and they won't tell me either. No listing is in the directory for Dallas area.
My mom got a call saying that I owed a loan company money that was not paid back in 2006. The # was 214-269-7361 I talked to Patrick, Dept of Crime Prevention and when I asked him what is was for he was like "Jesus didn't your mom give the info" I told him I wanted the information from him and to fax it to me, he said he could not, I asked why I had not been notified about the debt, he said because it is a loan that is not paid. I then talked to Ron or Roy (all the guys were Indian) and he told me I would need to send 1100.00 by today or it would go to court and I would pay 4000.00, so it was my decision because I was getting in deep deep trouble. i called back repeatedly and asked for a better business bureau info, the name of the company, I even called told them i was my attorney they still would not give out any information. the weird thing is I did have a loan with one of the companies however I called them and my account is clear. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO, after I had called several times they just started putting me on hold and then it would hang up.
Recieved a call from 214-269-8550 on August 14, 2008. They stated that legal proceeding were being taken if I didn't send them a payment of almost $1000. They informed me that if I did not cooperate that a warrant would be put out for my arrest. I spoke with three different men: James Matthews, Rod Peterson, and Frederick Flagler. They told me to call 214-269-8550 with a refernce number from the paymnent but my caller id on my phone was from a different number 321-354-0208. They said that the main office was in Dallas, Tx but wanted the payment sent by MoneyGram to Palm Coast Fl. They called repeatedly often within a few minutes of each other. Asked to speak to a manager but was given run around stating different reasons for his abscence: in a meeting, left for a family emergency, and gone for the day. After about 20 minutes the manager returned from his so called family emergency and called me back threatening to make my payment within 15 minutes or to watch and see what happens. All parties were rude and hung up on me several times.
