Received a call on my cell (which I seldom give out this number) asking for a reference check on family member. I asked if it was for a job interview. They said no so I refused to answer any questions. They threatened to arrest me and hung up. Accent made it difficult to understand the male caller.
They left a message saying "my legal counsil needs to call them back as soon as the message is received becasue it's very time senitivte. If I choose to disregard the message all I can say is good luck." I received a message like this about a year ago and disregarded it. This time I received 2 calls from 2 different numbers to I called. Claimed they are legal counsil and I owe a payday loan which was never paid but they wouldn't give me the name of the company only that they reporesent hundreds of lenders. I asked how can fix the situation if they don't have any info to give me. They yelled at me, called me an a-hole becuse I kept asking questions, stated they aren't a bill collector. I then asked what's the purpose of the call then. They said to inform me they were seeking legal suite and I was going to be arrest in 30 mins at work and hund up on me. They called me back 20minutes later, i did not pick up and they did not leave a message. Went online did some research and found this was a total scam. One of the numbers they called me from a week ago isn't active anymore.
This guy with a very heavy Indian accent, who claims to be "John McClain", said the exact same thing as the previous post. The [***] even had the balls to call me a "criminal", not knowing who I am, who I work for, or what I do for a living. This is a total scam. don't believe it when the call you.
This person name "Perry Black" keeps calling my phone stating that they need my attorney's information; something in regards to a criminal lawsuit. When I clearly told him to stop calling my phone he cursed me out and told me that he will have my a$$ behind bars.
I received the same calls....from two different numbers, same person. Yesterday I received 15 calls and today so far I have received 9 calls. Not sure what to do about it right now but just keep ignoring it
I keep getting calls from Perry Black from 212-933-9821. I tell him SLOW down with your accent we Americans can not understand you. This is a complete scam. He says I have a payday loan I didn't pay. I asked him repeatedly who is the creditor and same story, represents a bunch, doesn't know. But he said option 1 to pay in full or option 2 Superior Court of NY. I told him prove who the creditor is and we will review together. He hangs up and calls my work right back. It is scary that these scum bags have info.
