I received a call from Officer Steve Matthews with a heavy Indian accent. I applied for a payday loan and never received it. He said I needed an attorney and he had a warrant for my arrest. Scammers, it's ridiculous!
Received a phone call from a man with Indian accent, who said I'll be sued, and me or my attorney must contact him immediately, he knows my SSN, my work and cell numbers... this is very scary...
Recieved a call from this phone number today on my cell while at work, it was a man who said his name was leo fernandez and he said he was the chief attorney for the Federal Crime Investigation, he proceeded to explain to me that he represents a debtor company that had tried to collect debt and was unsucessful and that they were pressing charges against me and that i had 3 criminal complaints against me and that if i did not go to a local walmart and do a money pak for almost 1000 dollars and call him with the numberrs for the transfer that state police would b at my place of employment to arrest me within 45 mins, he knew where i worked, the last 4 of my social number, i was in a panic, ibut it seemed fishy, I contacted the state police and he assured me it was a scam, i contacted this leo back and he hung up on me after telling me to no longer call that number that he would b calling 911 to issue the warrant, i called again asking him if he wanted the name and number to contact the trooper i talked to and all he said was that he already contacted the police and not to call again and hung up again.
these indian scammers called my cell phone they said i have a crime againest me . i called them back to ask for a john mccoy the india guy started cusing at me . i hung up. i really want these SOB caught and put away for a long time. the number was 253-220-0216.
i just got a call from yhis person saying that i owed 475 and that if i didnt pay i was going to be arrested! I ask what for and he gave me this story! I had it figured out from the start and called him a scam artist and he took a deep breath and hung up on me. Where would he get my phone and SS#? Who should I contact about this?
The Indian accented gentleman called stating I had a federal case that a warrant was going to be issued and to call back the same number he was calling from. Said his name was STEVE MATTHEWS. When I asked Indian accented Steve Matthews how he got that name from India he said he didn't know what I was talking about and that he was calling from Washington D.C. I then asked him why he gave me the number to call if it was the same number he was calling, he said I had to ask for someone different. I think this is bull, I'm not a criminal, but someone's got my information.
So I called these guys back.... a new Indian guy answered I asked for all the names that I've seen provided in several links about this kind of call. All of a sudden, none of those people work there... Steve Matthews, Leo Fernandez or John McCoy. Hmmmm, I wonder. Then I said, "That's not the name of the Indians you have working over there? Saying you're from Washington D.C. and really calling from Kent, Washington" He promptly hung up.
IT'S A SCAM, DON'T LET THEM SCARE YOU. Not too much they can do with your information right now. Just keep an eye on your credit report and bank accounts.
