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.
We are getting phone calls for one of our employees. We gave the message to our employee and he said that he has never heard of the company before. At first the caller stated they were representing a Legal Company of some sort. Today we were told by the caller that he is a Police Officer and our employee would go to jail for 9 months if he didn't call him back. When we get calls from this so called Police Officer, he is very rude and rather forceful with getting his message across.
Scammers. Just hang up on them, after telling them that you're recording the call and have reported them to the police. Debt in the US is NOT a criminal issue, so no police would be calling. Nor process servers (they wouldn't be warning someone first) nor FBI, etc. Scammers. Not only this website but the FBI one as well, under the scams and safety tabm address this reapeatedly. If you don't let them bother you (strongly suggest a metal whistle or air horn, but you're at work, so maybe not...) they'll eventually give up. I think these losers must watch law and order in their country; their command of the US legal systems leaves a bit to be desired.
A very threatening message from "Officer Mike Davis". Saying I was going to jail if I don't pay them money. Called me on my job! Has called several times on my cell phone. Will not be specific why I should send them money! Quoted some type of document code. What can be done about this.
It's good to know that this company has a reputation of harrassing people.
this number called me on my cell phone and left a nasty mesg... i never returned the call. a couple days later they called me at work and threatned me about going to jail and so on... ok i asked was your badge # and what department you work for becuase im going to verify you with my brother that is a police officer and they got somewhat upset and transfer me to a women and she was getting rude and saying "when i stop threating her with my police officer brother" and i cutt her off and said WHAT DO YOU WANT, FOR ME TO GIVE YOU MONEY? and she hung up and its been almost a week and havent had a call........
