Guys with accents from India with names like "James Brown", "Hollister Tex", "Craig Miller", "Greg Murphy"- claim to be calling from Criminal Bureau of Investigations (CBIS) in Washington DC. Said that they have an affidavit from a company that is claiming fraudulent check charges and they will settle the account for only $198. I asked for the filing company's name and phone number because I didn't recognize it...he said that the company is very large with over 500 subsidiary names. I called anyway (202) area and was told it is in Texas. It was another Indian accented guy with one of those names who got very irate and hung up on me. BTW, the background noise was the same as the CBIS guy!
someone is calling me from this # and saying he is Officer James (although he is a foreigner) and says he has my SS#. supposedly I have a been reported of a serious criminal offense and that I am going to be arrested unless I call him
Hello, I have recently been getting these same voice mails. I actually talked to "james" about 5 months ago told me some lame story about check cashing fraud. His message today receited my whole ss# and than asked for me to call him back with my lawyers number. The whole thing sounds shady. Did you ever get any resolution to you first call?
I received the same call they had my ss# and stated i had a criminal matter with some payday loan company. I have never borrowed from a pay day loan company and my bank account can show that. THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS I DON'T TRUST ANYTHING THEY SAY!!!
I got two calls from this within a minute of each other saying that I had a lawsuit against my social security number and that if I don't contact them today Iwill be arrested for my criminal charges (which were never stated what they were) and to call him back immediately
