I was contacted by a "Agent Leslie White" with Special Crimes Unit Phone number is 240-483-4254, it is a number in the Baltimore/Bethesda MD area. I let the answering service take the call as I didn't recognize the number. She left an interesting amount of information, much of it wrong including the name of the person they were looking for: that person hasn't lived at my address for almost 10 years. Gave the wrong name for the County Clerks office also the Co. Clerks office handles car tags and tax payments not court cases... They aren't very savvy but neither are most of the folks getting the calls... BEWARE! Don't be bullied. Having credit problems? They will take advantage of you! Don't bite!
I recieved a call last night, from 240-483-4254, asking for my father. My mother also called my mother asking for him and she has been divorced from him for 25 years and also remarried for 15 years. They asked if I was the relative of my father, and wanted me to give them his info to get intouch with him. Of course I didn't, but did google the number. I found this site and thank god! They told me he had a pending litigation suit and was facing jail time. I have reported this to all the government offices I can think of.
They just called me asking why were my checks returned for NSF. I called my bank and had them stop pay all checks given. They were very unprofessional and told me that a warrant will be issued for my arrest in my jurisdiction. I told them to send me this in writing and do not call me again. The lady got upset and was raised her voice toward the end of the call...
I recieved 4 calls from this number (240-483-4254) claiming that I had a car repossed..However, I have never had this happen. They are saying they are serving me court papers...The thing is, they actually give me a SS# that is not mine! I've told them all 4 times to correct their records 'cause they are harrassing the wrong person..What bothers me is how much info they had on me and members of my family..
I guess I better check into "Life-Lock" (Besides, Rush endorses it) :-)
I recceived a phone call from Officer Lesley White. She stated that I was being served a Warrant and gave me a Case#. She also informed me that it included two felony counts on the warrant. To the best of my knowledge of the law enforcement community a police officer would not tell you that you have a felony warrant in your name. The police will just show up and arrest you on the spot.
It's a debt collection scam, and, in this case, they're impersonating a police officer. See my message above from Sept. 10 for more details and for information on reporting these criminals to federal and state law enforcement.
