I got a call from someone with trying to disguise an East Indian accent calling himself "Justin Simon" who tells me that it is a "warning call" and that either I or my "retained attorney" need to call back right away, with the melodramatic warning that if I don't then "all I can do is wish you luck as this situation unfolds on you." Oooohh, scared!
They are scammers pretending to be a collection agency. Don't answer the phone and if you do by mistake, don't give them any information about yourself. If they ask you to confirm any information they have about you, don't do it.
Report them to the FCC - it's free. They use different numbers including from your local area code if they can get it. Best advice is to just let it ring unanswered.
Got the exact same call at home and ignored it, now dud is calling my work. He said he was with UNLV and gave me the same story. So tired of this. I don't answer calls at home that I don't know the number, but have to answer all calls at my office. I am going to report this to FCC and hope this stops. It is really annoying. Thanks for the post, I wanted to know if it was happening to anyone else.
A man by the name of Sam Parks called from a company he called LLC Law Firm and told me it was just a courtesy call to inform me i would be served papers at work tomorrow for a defaulted payday loan from about 3 years ago. He told me not only would i be going to court but he was taking my company also. Which made no sense, and I should make sure I have another job lined up cause i will surely be fired. I of course was panicking. While talking to him on the phone i reversed his phone number which came back to a cell phone, as well as searched the company. And much to my surprise the only thing that came up for the company was numerous fraud and scam charges. He then told me i could stop the court proceedings and the fines and even telling my work if i produced $1600 today for back loan and fees ($400 was the original loan I believe) or wait and be charged that along with over $5000 in fees that would also be charged to my job.When I asked him to talk to my lawyer he said if i hung up the deal was over and my lawyer could talk to him after e bailed me out. So i went from being delivered papers to being arrested. I told him since i was a single mother and all i could find about his company was fraud claims i had to protect myself but if my lawyer said it was legit I would pay today. He refused to talk to him and told me to find someone to take care of my family cause i would be going away for awhile. I then lost it and told him to have some respect and that i guess he would have to see me in court and hung up. This is a scam and had i not had access to a computer to look it up he may have scared me into it. Its disgusting and something needs to be done
