They had called my number several times but never left a message until today. They had told me they are from Federal Crime Division (FCD) and that hey were going to have me arrested if I did not pay them money for a online cash advance loan site from a year ago. He passed me on to his supervisor. His supervisor name is Zack Austin. And that if I do not pay it today that I will be locked up and spend 29 months in jail. They were very rude and threatening. They said that if I paid the loan off today that they will clear my ss and my name from any charges. I asked how much the loan was for and he said he needed to look it up. He came back saying that it would have been like $18,000.00 but they were willing to settle for $4892.00... I said I would settle and he passed off to another guy. This new guy said I would have to go to Walmart and get a green.moneypak and give them the authorization number. I had to look up what a green.moneypak was!! It is a visa card that you add money to. They said I would need to get 10 of them, with 9 being of $500.00 and the 10th one being $300.00... If my math is correct this only adds up to $4800.00... where does the $92 dollars go??? Since I did not know what a green.moneypak was to begin with this guy sent me back to Zack. He proceeded to tell me where to go to get them. This sounded funny since collections agencies will send certified letters to your home. They will not send it over an e-mail or tell you to buy green.moneypaks. He told me how long it would take to get the cards and I told him about an 1 1/2 hours. He said he would start on the paper work. In this time I had called the police and they said is sounded like they were phishing to get the money from me. Also in this time I continued to look up on other sites that also have this same number trying to phish from people. While I was looking to file a complaint as well as write this. [They (Sgt.Zack Austin) had called me again saying he was in the legal department from the police department, He said that he has my retention and now see what I am going to do. He said I will be retained within the next 24 hours from either my job or from my home.]
They had called my many times after I blocked this number (234-542-1696). This number shows it came out of Akron OH. Since this number was blocked they used a dummy number of 911 and left me the message above in [ ]... Then they called from number 205-985-6963 which showed up as a Birmingham AL. number. So far since I have wrote this they have called 6 times from 911 number without saying anything. Then they just left another message from Mike Jones. He told me that I should have taken care of this and now they will have legal charges. I had a hard time understanding this individual because of his heavy Indian accent. Since they are calling with a 911 emergency number I might have to change my phone number as well as my account from my bank.
This is fraud, extortion, harassment and illegal threats. I've gotten the exact same thing from these people as everyone listed above. However, I got info from this man, and he gave me my own social security number and address, and they were correct. I did not tell him that information, or verify that what he had was correct. I have run a credit check, and so far there does not appear to be any identity theft, but I have filed a complaint with all three credit bureaus and they are to flag any new activity and immediately report it. Be careful about paying your bills online, as I suspect that this is how my information was obtained. And monitor your credit reports!!!
been getting calls at work from this number (crime bureau). basically if you have ever applied for a cash loan online, they have stolen you personal info (ssn, address, name, phone numbers). its all fraud.
This person keeps calling my work and telling me he is in the legal department for people who do payday loans. He said I did one on line and did not pay it. I have not done a payday loan. This is terrible that someone can do this to you. He had my personal information!!
