My God - look how many years these post have been collecting.... this scam is everywhere. Got a call several times over the past few weeks. First of all - the voice is a choppy mechanical voice -- I guess that's to hide the heavy accent the person on the other end has... I know we think it's clear that this is a scam, but unfortunately there are alot of people, especially elderly who panic and fall for it. Please be sure to spread the word.
This is just one of many scams that I get weekly - its ridiculous.... oh and by the way... yesterday I won 2.5 million dollars!!! all I have to do is send $275 through Western Union to a woman's name in Philadelphia to get my claim number LOL They had the nerve to call back last night to see if I sent it... I told them my friends wouldn't loan me the $275 so I'll just forfeit the millions..... oh and don't call me again.
I constantly get phone calls both at work and at home from a man by the name of Charles Green stating that he is with PCS Law Firm. He states that I owe over $3000.00 in loans. The calls come from just the numbers of like 01, 347-273-6028, that number is now disconnected and he is calling from an 818 area code, he is from India, I believe. He threatens me quit often and tells me that this isn't anyone's business but his and mine and that I shouldn't involve my boyfriend. This Indian man calls me no joke about 100 times a day everyday. Charles tells me to send the money by green dot money pack, or by Western Union and it is always a different person that he wants me to send it too in Cookville, Tn. I mentioned to Charles that before I sent any money that I was going to investigate the Company and he got really mad at me.
347-273-6028 Has called me 4 times today telling me a claim has been filed against me and I need to call back. I knew it was BS. How do you get rid of these people???
I received a call from a man with a strong indian accent, he identified himself as Brandon Williams threatening to cancel my (?) social security number? or something like that - very difficult to understand.
He identified himself as a "Crime and Prevention Office, Badge 42" but did not which department specifically.
He threatened my home, and my job.
When I looked up this number, I could not find any reference. I also could not find any department named Crime and Prevention Office.
THIS IS A SCAM. The Better Business Bureau has released many alerts on this scam, google "bbb.org alert phony debt collector" and these scams vary a bit in style but they all want you to send them money. Don't give out info or money.
Same thing just happened to me. I hung up on him and he called back and left a message threatening that I only had 30 minutes to call him back or he would call my boss and I might get fired.
