These people have been calling me 10-14 times a day, they said that I wrote a bad check in 2008, I told them that I didn't have a checking account and it was a misteak on there part. They than said that I was going to be Arrested at work. I again told them I don't have a checking account my wife handles all of our Finance. They than said that I needed to pay them $3,600.00 via Money Gram or the police would be at my office in 30 minutes. I call the police in my town they said there isn't a warrant out for my arrest. I told the Please officer what was going on, He informed me that it was a scam is not send the money. I can't believe this is going on.
I have traced this number to a Skype or VoIP account supposedly located in Demopolis, AL. The caller claims to be representing the "Anderson Law Firm". The only law firm in Demopolis with that name is Warren W. Anderson Law Offices and his number does not match the one from which I was called. There is an Anderson Law Firm in Montgomery, AL, but that is not where this call originates, according to four separate reverse phone number searches. Further, the caller is either from India or Pakistan and offers an Anglicized name, which is probably false. He tells me I have had a suit filed against my SSN pertaining to a payday loan that I allegedly had defaulted on, telling me I will "risk going to jail" if this matter is not resolved. I have no such loans in default. I have already done some research on this matter and it is likely that they got personal information on me as a result of someone I've done business with online selling my information. This is supposedly illegal but I have found that it happens. It may also be the result of a hacked system of someone I've done business with. I am writing however to warn anyone who gets such a call that it is very likely a scam and the ones calling trying to intimidate you into sending them money and/or giving them other personal information.
Yes this is a scam. They just called me and I had the exact same experience - only they called me at WORK! Which makes me furious! But I hung up on them. Good to know that others had a similar experience-not that I want to wish it on anyone.
