My mother received a disturbing phone call from a foreign person named Carl Miller claiming to be with the State Bureau of Investigations. He referenced my ex sister in law and her family. Made reference to Social Security, asked if she had attended any funerals lately? or, made and new acquaintances?
It appears to be a scam of some sort and they apparently use different #'s and american names with foreign accents.
I googled state bureau of investigations La Porte, TX and the following was the first link referenced:

Indian sounding fellow left the message, he is special federal nvestigator and I must call in. Third time he has hit me on different #'s. Seattle, San Francisco and this # is Houston. He's a hound. He first called me 2 years ago, he could have got me but~ I just cleaned up all my debts. Had a local attorney do it and passed his # off to him to confirm. Careful he even called my job to confirm emloyement. Ha, our financier freaking laughed him off the phone. He's got ball's though~ I just hangup and he calls back now and jabs a bit~ He's sounds like he is on the move~ we popped him in Seattle..

I wish these people would go back to where they came from. I am so tired of all these scammers. Love the way they leave messages and who the heck can even understand them. Please go back to India or wherever it is you are from. I owe you nothing and you are not getting a penny out of me. Do not send them any money!!

These people should not being calling people at work and harassing them as well as other areas of the job.
Stop calling me. and my co-workers. If they are professional they wouldn't keep calling different numbers in order to find a person and yes, I will hang up the phone and not give them the time f day to talk.

This number (281-402-0226) continues calling me saying that I owe them money and that I must decide whether I'm going to pay outside of court for $390 or go to court and get sued for over $4,000. When I asked Carl Miller, the supposed supervisor or as he said "the highest authority involved in my case", for their physical address he refused to tell me. In the background I could hear many different people on the phones in what was clearly a call center. The accents and the butchering of the English language, lead me to believe that these calls are being routed through India or somewhere in the middle east.
He's claiming to be from the National Crime Investigation Bureau, but upon researching them....I can find nothing. The number appears to be coming from LaPorte, TX. He's sent me an email and the "legal notice" he sent me looks extremely fake, he even put a statute number on top of the document trying to scare me into believing I've done something wrong and that I'm in serious trouble. The problem with that is that I looked up and tried to find the statute that he's claiming I broke and that statute doesn't even exist!
When I pressed him about informing me what company is making these allegations against me, he refused to say and told me that in previous correspondence that information was provided. The thing is though...yesterday was the first time I'd been contacted by anyone. Once I began ignoring his calls, the number changed to "0000" then "440-00"....somehow he's scrambling his number so that maybe I answer the phone. I'm not answering any more of his calls...and if I continue to receive calls on my cell or my work number....I will seek ways to press harassment charges against them.

Our work office received about 50 calls this morning, same guy, same story .. It is indeed a scam. He verbally abused anyone who picked up. We would just hang up on him, or laugh in his face and hang up. We filed a police report and the calls have stopped. My advice is don't even acknowledge this loser, and do not even allow him talk. SCAM SCAM SCAM !!!

This call called my about 2 weeks ago i first believed him and told him to call back in 2 weeks and that I might find a job then. He claimed that I've committed a national crime and that hes with the Bureau of investigation, I guess he meant the FBI. He knew that I've had a chase bank account and the amount that i owed. I did hint that i had a check n go loan out but didn't tell him how much. he then said that was the company that i owed the debt to, then he stated the false amount that I owed to check n go. The problem is that I called the FBI they said they don't handle Debt matters. he took my name that his number, I then was forwarded to the Consumer trade commission and filed a report with them. They told me not to answer these calls anymore. I already have paid my check n go loan and am working with CHASE not some Indian in India, (no offense if your Indian) The FBI told me this was a fraud, Consumer Trade Commission also told me this was a fraud..... its a fraud.. don't answer these calls if he threatens you file a FBI report.

I've been playing with this a** all day long and I'm going to continue to play with them. He called me every name he could think of when I asked him for proof. The number says La Porte, Texas, but it actually is out of Austin, TX. If you go to Manta.com, this idiot has even put his business on there as the National Crime Investigation Bureau. I'm going to keep playing with him until he stops calling. If you ask them for information, they get real defensive. Bunch of scammers.

Hello,
I got this phone call at my office desk. I know it is a scam because he was speaking in a heavy indian accent. he left a voice mail. I know this is a scam. IF you look on the FTC or FBI web sites they tell you about t his scam. Also I saw a video that this is one of the top 5 scams going on now.
I google National Crime Investigation Bureau and did not find anything on it per say but a facebook page. It is all about teriost and it is all Indian information. SO this is fake how can they come to USA and have you arrested. I will never step foot in India.

I've gotten calls too. But, mines were extremely bad. They started using racial epithets. Severe racial epithets. N-word, B-word; saying things demeaning to African Americans. Filthy words spewing from their mouths. It was bad. And they were laughing in the background. They had my personal info. Don’t know how they got it. This was a serious issue. I called for an investigation on this number. Said his name is james cody. He was lying of course. These people are sick. Either, Asian, Native American, Pakistan, Arab, or whatever. But, they’re evil and crazy.
