When they first called me a year ago I didn't know anything about these sites and they really scared me. I tried calling them back and left messages. The final message I left them was a request to please have someone who could speak english call me so that I could understand what this was about. They quit calling until December-called for 2 weeks, then quit until February, then May and now August they started again. The last time Bingo Telecom showed up on caller ID with an unavailable number.
The caller Identified himself as "Charles Brown". He spoke very broken english. He told me that on Monday November 23, 2009, at 10:30 am, someone will be at my residence to arrest me and the two people I used as references on my pay day loan application
I did not know that sites like this were available. I wish I had known. All of the senarios I have read on this site are the same calls I have been getting. Unforturnately for me I believed them and have paid over $5,000 to them since July 2009. To make matters worse I lost my job in early 2009 and I also lost my dad. I was so depressed, I was not in my right mind to deal with these calls. They will agree to take payments cuz some money is better than no money to them. They pose as police officers. Officer Mike Johnson, Officer Steve Henrry, Officer Joseph Newman. In the state of California it is illegal to harrass someone/anyone on the telephone.
WHAT A FOOL I HAVE BEEN!!!! I just happened to be speaking to my attorney regarding another matter and she said this is one of the biggest scams to date. She advised me not to pay one more dime. Last week I filed a local police report, put a trace on my phone, contacted my Attorney General's office, reported them to the Fair Trades Commission, and the FBI. Please anyone reading this: DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM! THESE ARE THE WORST OF THE WORST. THEY PLAY WITH YOU MIND, YOUR WELL BEING, THEY PLAY INTO YOUR FEAR. I HOPE THEY ARE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW AND MORE SO I HOPE THEY ROT IN HELL.

I was getting these calls last year until i finally cussed one of them out and the phone calls stopped. They started again this week. I actually look forward to their calls everyday now, it gives me something to laugh at as I harass them right back.
