I received a call from this number saying that I had been pre-qualified for an unsecured loan up to $5000.00. The guy with the Indian accent said that in order to get the loan wired to my bank account that I needed to buy a green dot prepaid credit card in the amount of $500.00. Than he will use the $500.00 as a "good faith" security deposit. To me it sounded to good to be true, so I am glad I read this blog... I really hope the authorities catch this [***]!!!!!!
Neil Johnson called me from this number stating that I was being sued for an online loan for 300 bucks. Well he said the company he worked for was American Court Systems. Well to make a long story short he is a scammer and he does not work for this company, I called the company and they do not know who he is. The number he is calling from is a home number. I'm in the process of calling the Dade county DA. As many ppl as I already owe I don't need scammers calling me. Neil Johnson has messed with the wrong one.
This is an extortion scam operating out of India. ABC News released an investigative report on it in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:

I hope they get him also!!! These folks think that all Americans are dump and desperate for money. Well they are wrong. I called this fool back and blasted him out. I told him he really needs to stop trying to scam people on the phone because I have posted his number everywhere. This is a scam for sure because I got a call from someone in Coming NY saying the samething. I posted that number on this site also....607-542-4525. Lets spread the word and caution everyone we know about this [***]. People really have to be careful with this stuff. If its to good to be true than don't believe it.
