I recieved a call from this number @ 6:30 this morning from an indian guy named "Robert Matthews" trying to tell me that my phone number had been used to commit internet fraud and through the conversation he got to to the point of me paying off this fruadulent debt. When pressed from additional information he hung up on me. I do I have him on my voicemail representing himself as a federal officer and have reported him to both the police and the FBI. I suggest that everyone else do the same.
I recieved a same call although frighten and upset at the time I sent that letter out to them. They have taken 150.00 out of my account. I then started to become fishy when I was looking at my bank statements and a IGS was the one where the money had gone to. They just kept calling and calling. I called the payday loans that i have received before and talked with they. They have no idea who these people are. I contacted the general Attorneys office also for AZ cause thats where i live. They suggested to make a complaint (which i did) Contact IC3.com (which i have) and also contact the FBI (which i have)please do this also so we can find out what the heck this is all about. I also advise you to call one of the credit reporters to report identity theft just in case. I also talked with my lawyer and he suggested to see if an address can be talked out of them. My last call from them i told them i want proof of this loan because they didn't send any money to me and that i want a address on them also. Nothing since then. HEre are some of the numbers they have called from. 323-928-4377,310-530-7341,213-266-6944
I , too, received a phone call stating they had a 12 page affidavit in front of them front the AG of TX (where I live) and he told me I would spend "many days behind the bars" if I didn't give him my credit card number now. I was told the first call it would cost me $6k to get out of my mess and on the second call the "officer" told me it would be $20k. I told him I could not even understand a word he was saying and said I would talk to him again until he gave me EXACT name of the company he was representing...he hung up on me.
A Mr. 'Officer Roger Smith", and "Officer James Wilson" called me, my mother, my boyfriend, and ex employer saying I have committed fraud. The first phone call he stated my case # "ACS- 1601524", had ALL my personal information and read it all off to me. His phone disconnected during my " concern plea" that was being recorded and listened to by the top attorneys on my case. They came to the decision that I was an honest person and should be offered to settle out of court. He put me on hold to check with the top attorneys......came back and told me my settlement amount was $736.00.
While on hold I grabbed my computer and googled the number....and found something that disturbed me yet at the same time gave me joy.
Suspicious, I started to ask him many questions regarding my case including what PDL company he was referring to, what date the loan was taken and how much.....he could not give me any of those.
When my boyfriend was contacted he asked for their physical address so he could come and pay (knowing full well it was a scam). He also asked for the officer's license #; neither of which the thick-accented guy could give.
I then (still acting concerned) said that I would have to contact my lawyer who is the senior partner at the second LARGEST law firm in the WORLD and have him speak to the officer assigned to my case. He sounded a little scared. He harassed me for my CC# and said if I didn't give it to him right then ...then I would for sure be on trial. :(
Such a scam....who should I report to??
