Today I received a call from a blocked number (it showed up as 000000000). The same E. Indian/Middle Eastern that calls from 206-855-5350 so look up that number for more details on these crooks and what they do, this must be their newest number. He left a message saying they were trying to collect on a payday loan that a friend of mine had used me as a reference on and that he needed to call Officer Mike Morris back at 347-289-3901 or my friend would not like the procedures taken on him. Again it sounded like he was calling from a loud call center. He went on to say he was calling on behalf of financial companies against to my friend and he would not like the results. This time instead of good luck he wished me a blessed day. These crooks will try anything! I have yet to return the call but will post updates. (call type list Debt Collector only because Fraud Debt Collector was not a choice)

I received a call from this same number. He sounded Indian and it also sounded like a loud call center.He said his name was "Mike Morris" and this same man also called from 1-347-602-4542. I got the bit about the "blessed day", also. He's trying to collect on a debt that doesn't exist. Please, everyone, if you receive calls of this type, just hang up and don't even call them back if they leave a message on your home phone answering machine.
I just got a call from this number 3472893901 and about 10 calls from 0000000000. Indian accented man says he is Jake Brown with ACS and has my information incl social security number. Says I need to call to stop something bad from happening. He ended the call saying repeat, ask for JACK Brown, this time. I just got rid of this same type of scam couple weeks agao. Again they were eastern Indians saying they have an affadavit for me and I would be picked up if I didn't pay immediately $729. He said if I didn't pay and was taken to court , then I would owe $12, 000. I was afraid at first and gave a debit card number (a prepaid with nothing on it) and got online researching this. At that time , he claimed to be Frank Martin then Brian Davis with United Nations Legal Dept. Of course, they are not with the UN. I called these people back and hounded them, telling I know they are a scam, illegally purchasing people's infor and scamming money. I reported them to the FTC with all the numbers they gave. I told this guy that and he hung up on me. I called again and told him I knew they were crooks. He hung up again. I blocked the number they had given before but now it has started again with this ACS thing. Everyone-- do not pay these crooks. Please.
I received a call at WORK from this number today. They had left a message for me before I arrived at work. But while I was there they called again. They also sounded like they were in a call center The guy was of indian decent and said his name was "John Hudson" When i asked what the call was in reference to he stated that he was calling in regards to a PAYDAY Loan and name some people I knew, as well as the last four of my social and my email address. He says the loan company placed the funds in my account and I haven't paid the loan off. Problem is I've never applied for a loan, and I ask the guy what bank account the funds were supposed to be deposited into, he replies that he cannot release private information. I ask if he could give me an address to his building so I could send him a copy of a bank statement( I really wasn't because by then I knew something was wrong but i was just probing the guy.) he tells me that his address is Brooklyn New York. When I ask for his street name and number he says, "look it up" . I hang up and call back later and ask the guy who answers the phone what company it was, he gives me a fake web address, and says his name was "John Williams" how convenient everybody's name is John, I ask to speak with John Hudson, I can hear him covering the phone with his hand and talking to someone and gets "John Hudson" on the phone. Im thinking that this has to be a scam. I will be reporting them as soon as possible. Until then I'll be calling them everyday to bother them :)
Just received another call this time from 973-735-5438. A guy named "McDawson" he called me looking for someone Jessica. Apparently she had already paid them (Poor soul) and he was calling to get the numbers off of the back of her card. I told him I was her husband he says to call him back. But get this the number told me to call him back on was 347-289-3901. This is definitely proves that this is a fraudulent organization. JESSICA if you are out there stop payment IMMEDIATELY !!
