My father has an aid and she gets calls at all hours of the night and day on her cell phone from this number. My father has even called them back from his phone and they are not even aware of who they are talking to. She told them to send the sherif over to arrest her so that she can get this straight and they hung up. It was not but a couple of hours later that she recieved another call requesting money and saying that she was going to be arrested. John Smith and David Smith are the two names that are used in this case. I am turning the number over to the FBI.
An "attorney" repeatedly called me to 'name' me in a lawsuit. The attorney was very vague and cryptic about this supposed lawsuit. I, of course, have been served in no lawsuit . I see that other people have been harassed by this same number, as a debt collector. The person seemed to have an East Asia accent, perhaps Indian.
This guy called me four times at work and leaving only one message said this was time sensitive and if i didn't call back, he could only wish me God Bless you as things fold around you. I googled the number and came up with being a suspicious call dealing with payday loans. He did get a hold of me and told him he couldn't call me at work that he had to get a hold of me at home. I wouldn't listen to any garbage that he had to say.
These "people" have been calling me since last September. Usually a different number and different name but always the same "verse". What I have learned to do is explain in perfect english (since they don't speak clear enough to understand anyway) that I would like their name and phone number, one even gave me an address to "send the money to" and tell them that you will be reporting them to the Federal Trade Commission. They usually don't like this and probubly will in fact, call you an f'ing b----. Then they will hang up but you do need to file a complaint with the FTC. I have done this 5 different times. Report as much information that you have. I can honestly say, this has been very un-nerving getting these calls at my employment but soon after you report the number to the FTC, if you call the number back it will have a recording answer and say this number has been associated with a SCAM, so it seems to work. Of course, that only works until they get another phone line. Someday it will stop so please know you are not alone and please don't let them scare you into giving them any info.
