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!
This is the second strange call I have received threatening criminal action or financial misconduct. The caller has a thick accent and claims to be from the Federal Crime Bureau and he wants my attorney's name. I had a hard time not laughing at him as I googled the phone number which was from a Kent WA area code...........he says he is from upstate New York.
I shut down the call rather quickly as he was calling my office phone and I was working.
I had received a call from this 2532200216 number from a man claiming to have been
John McCoy. Now I personally believe that whom ever they are, are collecting personal info from online pre-loan applications such as 9needcashnow.com. these sites actually take your personal info and attempt to locate a suitable lender that also does online loaning applications. My theory is that in the event that this scam of a company were to create a site that were to be set up as an online lender they would receive the information. I had never recieved these types of calls until I applied for the loan and I currently receive multiple calls a day from "lenders" wanting to complete my loan. My personal recommendation would be if you have experience the same and/or similar please post it or report it.
I received several calls from this individual. He was finally brave enough to leave a voice mail stating that either myself or my attorney call. Therefore I called pretending to be a different person stating I was "blah blah blah's" attorney, when I said that he immediately became nervous and told me to have the actual person call him back. I unblocked my number and called and I keep getting hung up on. Saturday I got calls from a 202-470-5006 phone number whom are a separate set of scammers or maybe one in the same. Those individuals state they are giving you a govt grant worth 7000 but you must donate 320 dollars to charity. They will not tell you the name of the charity nor will they tell you anything more. They immediately called back threatening with profanities and death. Stay away from these people and report them. DO NOT GIVE INTO THEIR WANTS. When I told them I was contacting the FBI, they became extremely angry and verbally abusive. If they have your info make sure to contact all credit bureaus and let them know so your account can be flagged. Also contact your bank and inform them as well.
got a call from a mr mathis stating he was from the crime investigations unit. He said he had 3 federal warrents for my arrest unless I send him some money. He wanted my attorney information. I then told him I had turned him over to my attorney and the state police. He then hung up.
