I call him back every day now and give him some of what he's dishing out. It's fun. I just had my cell, phone, work phone and skype all calling him at once and laying it on thick each time he answered. He eventually quit talking. Coward.
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam in June. The FTC has indicted one of its ringleaders for criminal fraud:
The person calling me stated his name was Keith Hamilton (weird name for someone with an Indian accent). He was very rude as the others have stated. How do you go about filing complaints with the agencies listed above (local police, FBI, Attorney Generals Office, etc.)?
This is a scam!!!!!!!!!! I got a call from him and somebody name Tony Abraham from Blue Ridge Coperation, claiming I owe 3,000 dollars. Talking about the credit bureau reported that I owed this amount of money and I need to pay it all today or I'm going to jail. I asked what was the name if the companies that I owed and they couldn't tell me. I called the loan company and asked them if they had turned my file over and they said no. They advices me not to take their phone calls or send them any money. I repeat this is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!
