got a call from a 'Charlie Jones' - actually, several calls over the past few days. It's laughable. Firstly, if his name's Charlie Jones, then I am Oprah Winfrey. Secondly - here's what he told me:
'what's wrong with you? If you need to take care of yourself returning this call me back at 310.499.9983. This is my last and final warning. Good-bye.'
No idea why I am getting these calls. I'm going to start messing with him just for fun.
These people called my place of work yesterday and told my bosses they were from a law firm and that I had 3 "criminal charges" against me. Getting a note about this from my boss was very embarrassing. I called the number back a man with a heavy arabic or indian accent told me that I would be prosecuted for "check fraud" if I didn't pay back payday loans taken out in 2005. THE MAN HAD MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER. I told him that I have not received anything in writing about these "charges" against me and he said that they had sent "16 emails" to my email address. I told him that sending an email isn't within the scope of service of process on a lawsuit, and that he can go to hell and stop harassing me. My dad is a prosecuting attorney and I had him call the number back to talk to these people, he told them that he was my attorney and gave them his bar number, and told them to stop harassing me. They have yet to call back - but it was still embarrassing to receive that call at work and have my bosses think that I was involved in some kind of "criminal activity." I just googled their number and found this website, and decided to report the incident to the FBI.
I have been getting the same kind of calls. But I tried to call them today and guess what the number is disconnected be warned they will try again with different numbers I have already alerted Michigan police department and Monday I am turning the into the attorneys general office what a scam they are irritating me.
Michelle, be sure to file a complaint with your local police. That way, your employers know that you are being targeted by extortionists and that you didn't do anything wrong. Also, alert the U.S. Secret Service. See my message above from May 28 for details.
