Called and said I had like 3 civil lawsuits, and I had to call back to the same number that already called me. Called back and was told I called the wrong number after he asnwered it "Atty Scott SOMETHING" couldn't understand him cause they dont speak [***] english
I recieved a call from 253-216-6983, claiming that he was a federal lawyer and that i owe $978 in interest from my student loans. I paid all my student loans off in January so I knew something was not right. "Scott Nicholson" told me that if I did not pay $300 within the next 45 minutes than I would have a warrant for my arrest, and will be arrested at my place of employment, when i told him that I dont have alot of money but I would try to come up with the $300 he was asking for he hung up on me. His "associate" (who sounds exactly like him by the way) John O'Connor, called back within 20 minutes, wanting my atty info, I advised that I had agreed to pay the amt but "Mr. Nicholson" hung up on me. He said he would talk to his supervisor and put me on hold. About 5 minutes later he told me to call his supervisor back at the same number he just called me from. I asked him if his supervisor was the same guy who I just spoke to and he became agitated telling me "He is not a guy he is a Federal Lawyer" I said "Fine, is your supervisor the same gemtleman I spoke to earlier" which further agitated him. He hung up on me as well (no suprise there) telling me to call his boss back. So I did and was treated pretty much the same as before but when I asked for the documents that he said had been emailed to me to be resent so I know who and what I was paying for, he refused telling me that I needed to send the money Western union and I would recieve all paperwork within 7 business days. I asked if I could pay debit over the phone right now since the small town I am working in has no western union (see I cam tell stories too) and he told me no that since I am delinquent on my account that I cannot even use a prepaid debit or check. He told me that if I did not resolve this issue within the next 45 minutes then I would have to meet him at the court house and work through the legal system. The man could not even answer me the name of the court house I would meet him at.
I am writing this because I will be soon filing charges on this GUY, I have found several other numbers and apparently names this man is using to scam people. A 5 minute search proved my gut instincts to dead on.
I recieved a call over the weekend and I didn't know the number so I didn't answer but, A man left a message stated that it was very important that I call back and he was laughing. When I call the number 253 216 6983, the guy said that he was a federal attorney and that i have a warrant for my arrest for a loan company that I borrowed money from in the amount of $478 and said that I need to pay it right away. I told him that I never borrowed money from that loan company and wanted to know how he got my information, he even knew the last 4 digits of my social. I hung up and called back he then told me he name was Scott Nicholson and told me never to call back and yelled at me because I kept asking him how he got my information. Does anyone know what i should do?
This is a scam do not pay them and file a complaint at your local sheriff's department ASAP, unless they sned you documnets than you may want to believe them.
