I received a call from 215-824-2198 today and they left a voicemail on my work phone. The person identified himself as "Officer Mack Manning with the Dept. of Federal Investigations". He had a very thick indian accent and said he was investigating a complaint about me and needed me to call him back on his hotline (305-600-5668) that went directly to his desk as soon as I got the message.

These fools started calling (completely out of the blue) not too long ago, asking for a name I have never heard of.
I tried to explain they had the wrong number but they kept calling anyway so I finally said I was the guy they were asking for and what do they want?
These freaking foreigners started telling me a bunch of BS about a "sibling" (then a friend in other calls) of mine that was in desperate trouble and that "they" were going to help out.
These fools have goofy foreign accents, can barely speak American English and would never be hired by any type of law firm or even collection agency anywhere in this country. Even if they were (hired) they certainly wouldn't be the ones making these types of calls.
Since they were calling me from Manhattan (hence the 212 area code), I asked them what street they were on. (they said they couldn't tell me), So I asked them to name 5 major streets in the city (I mean even a tourist could do that), NOPE, couldn't do that either! WHY? Because these jerks are nowhere near Manhattan, up-state, California or anywhere else in this country. Don't fall for any of this
Remember, I REALLY AM THE WRONG NUMBER but I played along. They wanted me to "help" my unidentified friend by sending money. They asked for my credit card information, banking info, social security number, pin numbers, addresses, phone numbers, all kinds of things while all the while trying to appease my sense of loyalty and responsibility for getting my friend (still unidentified) out of trouble (also unidentified).
When I would ask for my "friends" name, the a-hole would always tell me he would have to look it up and get back to me. The same is true with the type of trouble "he" was in.
I gave them everything they wanted! Made it all up! Just to see what would happen, I balked at giving them a made-up pin number so they started "intimidating" me by threatening me with imminent arrest!
Told me, they would file a charges against me for falsifying information, continued with abusive attacks and more threatening "legal action" if I would not start cooperating! Oh yeah, and they were sending the police to arrest me if I didn't follow their instructions to the letter!
Told them I was VERY SCARED of all this and that they should send someone to pick up some money immediately to "make this all go away".
I work in an extremely rough area of the Bronx and told them to meet me there -- my friends and I were going to open the most extreme can o' whoop as* that you could ever imagine.
For you foreign f#cks who are reading this entry, google whoop as* and see what would have awaited you!
Sorry to say, no one ever showed. We had bats, chains and a whole host of other un-pleasantries awaiting our friends arrival. They would have wished the cops would have shown up if only to scrape the pieces up and get them the hell out of there!
For any potential victims who may be reading this. DON'T BE AFRAID!
None of their threats or intimidation are real. They can neither hurt you or have you arrested or sued. They can't do anything to you or your family. They are silly, barely literate foreign bottom-feeders who would be banned from entering this country if they even tried. Do not fear them.
If you don't wish to engage them, never return their calls no matter what they say, or at worst, change your phone number. They will never be able to touch you, I PROMISE.
The phone numbers showing up on your caller id are FAKE, they are not in NY or CA or anywhere else in the U.S. Don't let them get to you!
Tell them to shut the F up and go away.
The thing that seems to have finally made them go away, is an AIR HORN blast EVERY TIME they have called. No, hello, no what do you want. JUST AN IMMEDIATE AIR HORN BLAST!!!!
Numbers they have called me on:
212-372-7274
810-675-751* (the last digit seems to be missing for some reason ;-)
ID Restricted (what are you afraid of a-holes)
