I am sure this is a scam. When it shows on my phone (I have an iphone 4) it shows as "43". Which is strange!! It's an indian man with a very heavy accent. He left a message yesterday that was rude, and threatening. So I answered next time he called and we got into a very nasty argument. He yelled at me when I told him he had the wrong number (which he did, he's trying to reach my ex husband) and told me I was a liar. I got very angry and got rude back at him. He demanded that I let him speak to my ex, whom I haven't spoken to in 6 months. Then he hung up. He called me right back and asked me how my day was... I said fine, and he asked who he was speaking with. Of course I knew who it was and I told him that he should know since he called me, and he got mean again! He started yelling all crazy and DEMANDED me to tell me who he was. He told me if I wanted to be on the safer side and not lose everything at any cost (whatever that means) then I better tell him. HA!! Makes me sick!!! So whatever you do do NOT give them any info.
My boyfriend just received an urgent message on our home phone from a woman, "Robin," who claimed to work for a law firm. She said that our friend--whose name she butchered--had retained their firm to help fight SSN theft and had used my BF as a reference and to get more info.
We called the friend and he hadn't heard of the law firm or experienced any SSN theft. The friend had listed my BF as a reference on a home equity loan about 5 years ago (without his knowledge), but had never provided anything beyond a name and home phone. We didn't/won't return "Robin's" urgent call.
Got a call from a man named David Smith about a case being filed and a suit against my ssn and for me to contact them right away.
These same people have called friends of mine trying to get information and one called me and left a messege on my phone that he was coming to arrest me and take me behind a bus and he would make it his job to make my life misserable that was his promise to me
This guy named Shawn/Sean Smith, who is Indian-middle eastern sounding has been calling me for 2 weeks and is threating to file a lawsuit against my ssn unless I pay his company (PCS) Public Service Consolidation $602.00.
