"The government" has been on the case for years. Foreign ownership and operation makes the job frustrating. If you can find and sue them yourself, you also have that right.

Goofy alias names are nothing new for the South Asian thugs. They also borrow liberally from American popular culture, swiping names of movie actors, sports heroes, and TV characters.
Got a voice mail from some guy with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be "Officer Hadji Rogers" (no joke) saying he had papers that were filed against me at the courthouse or something. He said I need to call him before something bad happens to me. The number he left was 347-627-1160 (although all that came up in my called ID from his call was the number 3). It was hard to keep from laughing listening to this guy's message (he was like his own parody). TOTAL SCAM!!! The government needs to take some kind of action against these Indian scammers.

This joker has called me several times. I let the local police call the number and they got a lot of Indian jibberish. This person needs to be found and put away. I have a favorite name for him!!!
I got a smilar call on 8/1/14, at my office, yup my place of work and left this number to call him back. Only the name he left was Thomas Barker (again a heavy indian accent according to our admin assistant. I called that number 347-627-1160 and asked for Mr. Barker. He promptly told me that he was not available and that he was his supervisor...identifying himself as Austin Roy and that he was calling from the legal dept of PCS? He then began this long spiel stating I am being sued and that if I did not pay, it would not be very good for me. I asked who was suing me...he could not identify which company, so I told him that since he had my number, he obviously would have my address and would need to send something official via certified mail. He had a very thick Indian accent. He then said he was calling from Cash Advance America.....I'd never borrowed anything from them at all. So I told again to put the formal complaint in the mail and hung up. He then proceeded to call me 15 times. Yes 15 times back to back, (I would hang up immediately after the first few, knowing it was him) When I picked up on the 15th call I was livid. He started pleading with me to listen to him because it 'would become very bad for me, and he wanted to help me because I seem to be a nice lady' he said. This is when I told him that I believed he was trying to scam people. No creditor would ever do what he just did, and told him that if he ever called me again, he would hear from my attorney. He was silenced.
Not sure where he may have got my number, I was online looking for a decent mortgage rate and loan to pay down some debt and partially completed an application form. Didn't think my information would had been saved. He called me once again on 8/2...only once. Is there soemthing we can do about these people?????
Call blocker is your best bet. These people are located in India and beyond the reach of US law. Sadly, you can expect other calls of the same nature from Indian scammers. But the Indian accent should give them away.
