This number has been calling my Cell and Home phone and stating some returned item with my bank, first of all I have not had any returned items from my bank. I want to report these people and get them arrested for all the cold calling and threats they are making!! It needs to stop, im on the do not call list and sure as heck not having these low lifes threaten me! I will find a way ASAP! This needs to stop!
They called and I called back. Spoke to a women who claimed she was an Investigator. Investigator Williams. She asked about a debt that I did have but had paid for and they wanted to arrest me for check fraud and something else because the bank account they had was closed. She said that the company thought I had malicious intend.They were going to process me on Thursday and I had to pay $1000+. She asked for my address and I said I didn't feel comfortable with that and she said she could look it up by my social security number and get all of my info. She is suppose to send me an email with all of the details for my lawyer to look at and asked for his information. I do think it's bogus! She started catching an attitude at the end. The company is supposedly "Century Claims". Looked it up and haven't found it so far.
Same call happened on home phone something about an item being returned from my bank. I haven't had a bank account in over a year. I tried to return the call and of course they were always busy with other clients. I am reporting this number to the police as pure scam, and that is exactly what I told them when I left a message.
Same type of call: I've got this at least 20 times in the past 6 months. It says (automated) "This is a very important banking call regarding a returned item in your checking account. If you do not return this call, you can be prosecuted to the fullest extent by law" but they do not leave a return phone number. THIS IS A SCAM!!! I'm trying to get this out everywhere possible anyone would look on line as I am sick of getting this call. I returned it one time and ordered them to stop calling as I do not have a checking account. They wanted to verify my name and ask me the name of my banking institution.
AS MUCH AS THESE NUMBERS GET REPORTED, I DO NOT SEE WHY SOMETHING CANNOT BY DONE BY THE AUTHORITIES! No wonder people are getting ripped out of thousands of dollars like our "Elderly" who do not have internet because authorities cannot do anything about this apparently even though all of us are reporting these calls and trying to do our best as citizens to help protect others....go figure
This number just began calling me last week, something about an item that was returned by my bank, I called my bank and they said no item has been returned whats so ever... They adviced to be careful with ongoing scams by criminals, they also said to call the FTC and file a complaint. My bank said that in any case that an "item was returned by my bank", a letter would be sent to my residence, they would not call and leave a generic message about a banking matter of an item returned by my bank.
I used to get nervous when I received these type of calls, so I contacted a friend of mine that is a lawyer in many areas including collections and bankruptcies and she told me that I should not worry about phone calls that threaten you or robo calls, she told me to never give any info over the phone and only take action if you are ever actually served papers or receive collection letters.
