they called my phone with caller id 911..which I am pretty sure is not legal. when trying to find out who the person is he started yelling and when I said I was married to a police officer and had filed a complaint, he hung up. i tried calling back several times and they answer but dont say anything at all. then last time, went to voicemail. who are these people and how do we stop them?
Just tell them you are aware this is an extortion scam and are recording their calls which will be turned over to your attorney, law enforcement, FBI and the FTC.
This number keeps calling me and as well says he is Kevin Prince, trying to get me to pay a de t I know nothing about. They wont give me specifics just that I took a loan for $300 and never paid it back, which is not the case! I have no clue what they are talking about! He threatened that I would have to go to court and a bunch of stuff! How do I put a stop to this?
A peson with a terrible Hindu accent called my work phone yesterday and left a message saying not to ignore this call, that he was an attorney and that terrible things would befall me if I did not call back!! LMAO! He sounded like he was reading a piece of paper, and had the gall to wish me good luck on my "terrible, terrible situation and God bless you". WHAT??? Why would he hear from my attorney when he's not even saying what he's calling for? Also threatened continued calls if I chose to ignore him.
I called them back yesterday evening, and told them they had reached the wrong person (who happens to have my same name) then asked for the number they had left the message on and told me it was not in their records. When they asked my name I told them I had the same name as the person they are looking for, but I am not her, then they proceeded to ask if I lived at... rattled off an address somewhere in California and I said I did not even live in the west coast! Then asked if my social ended in... rattled off 4 numbers, which were not mine either. What an idiot!
As I tried to let them know I have a .wav file with their recorded threatening message, had seen the report on their scam on ABC's Nightline and had filed a complaint with the FTC just before calling them back, the guy quickly cut me off and said "sorry, no more calls" and hung up.
So if you are looking to stop them from calling, I suggest you call them back and simply let them know they are calling the wrong person.
OMG i just got the same phone call as you guys from a Peter Scott his call back number 323-55-7706 after leetting him speak i told him i would be in touch. i waited for about 35 mins and called him back i asked him to emplain to me again everything that he previously told me and he did. after he was done talking i informed him that i called my attorney office as well as my local police department and they advised me to record any further conversation. i told Pete Scott that our conversation was being recorded by me and i was turning it over to the police depatment who was turning it into the FBI and the FTC (like you guys suggested) and he was in total shock and said not an issue we apologize have a great day Mrs Brown. Im still in shock i hear about this all the time but i was one to figure it wouldnt happen to me. This is just crazy!!!!!!!!!
