If you receive a call from (347) 342_0183 or one starting in 916 do not answer they sre scammers calling from outside the country, if the person have an acent do not give any personal info, sometimes this person already gonna have your ssn & address...they r goin to treath you, or say that is an officer and goin to arrest u @ your home, if you dont take care of (supposed international transactions u made!) So just ask for a call back # and then report to the police and bank & credit bureau just to prevent any suspicious activity in your bank account or credit.Remember do not give any bank, credit or debit info because thats what they look for ...getting money ffom you! BE CAREFULL! #THIS PERSON PRESENT HIM AS officer robert spencer
I recieved a call from 347-342-0183 on 04/05/2011 for my brother. He claimed to be officer Shawn Phillips. He said if I did not have my brother call him he was going to start leagal action. My brother has never used my cell number. He was very hard to understand with a thick accent from India. I call the number back an hour later and the man was rude. Do not answer this phone call. WHAT EVER HE WANTS IT IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT ANSWER THIS NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a receptionist for a company in Wisconsin. Received a call from an "Office Shawn Phillips" with a strong Indian accent. Wanted to talk to another employee here. The employee has no extension, so I proceeded to ask if this was an emergency so he could be called out in the plant and given a message. He stated it was an emergency, and that is when he gave me his name and the number 347-342-0183. When I asked for some information to give to the employee, he rudely repeated the number, then started saying that if the employee didn't call back, his entire family would be arrested for failure to... that's when I hung up.
I've heard of a scam from applying online for payday loans and I think this employee is unfortunately mixed up in this scam. Next time this "Officer" calls, I am going to make sure that I get more info from him. This employee will then be informed of this "Officer" and he can then call a real Officer or whoever he needs to call to get this taken care of.
"Officer Shawn Phillips" called again today, about 10 am or so. I did not get a name this time since after he asked for the same employee, and I said he has no extension and isn't here til 10 at night, he went into a fit. He got really pissed off, said "Why the f*ck did you take a message yesterday you son of a bit*h. I of course got angry right back, and instead of pressing for details, I said "Excuse me?" No one from any kind of collection facility would cuss at anyone over the phone. I now know for sure that this is someone trying to rip off this employee. Anyway, after saying that, he then said, "Hang up the phone mother fu*ker." Shaken and extremely angry, I hung up.
This is the third time I've ever heard this guy call, and I can guarantee he'll be calling again. Next time, he's going to face my boss. No one talks to a receptionist like that.
