I received a call from these clowns, too, leaving the contact number 253-753-1268. He said his name was Officer John Wright. He also called my work cell number, but the phone number that was dialed from was a landline out of Florida, (239) 129-9247. I'm not about to call this person back, and if he calls me, I'll just let him know that I'm onto him. What an idiot!!!
this very bad sounding foreigner calls from 459-148-1923 and leaves number 253-753-1268. tells me that I owe money to some pay day place and good luck if I don't pay it. they called my job as well. I call them back and cursed them out. I called my attorney. They're on it
Hi- I got a call today from the same number with the same type of message. Freaked me out because he has a bunch of my personal info, like email address and work #. When I told him I was going to call the attorney general's office, he starts telling me ok then just go to jail if you want. Any more info on what all this is about?
