Hahahah those names are too good. John Carter is currently a famous actor and William Floyd was a New York State Senator in the mid-late 1700's into early 1800's lol! These scumbags really will stop at nothing just to squeeze a few bucks out of us hard working Americans.
This guy with the Indian accent purports himself to be "Office Jackson". I did not respond nor call this [***] back. Would rather visit him in person with some Jersey Boys!!!
I just got a call from this number and was away from my cell phone. The guy left a message and his accent was so thick I could barely understand him, but I did get enough to understand that he is "officer Shawn Peterson in the investigation dept of Financial Gram, calling about social ending in 4759" (which is not mine... He went on to say call him back at 347-640-3078, or else he will be contacting my employer and my bank and starting some kind of process about funds??? I agree with Sparkodopolis, we should visit this guy in person to "talk" about this "important financial matter." Like up side the head w/a baseball bat!!
I have been receiving these call since July 2010. They call my cell, They even called my home and threatened to put my mom in jail if she didn't give them my SS#. Now they are calling my job and even threatened my boss. I had to explain to her that it is a scam. They say I will be dragged to jail but its now been almost a year. Someone tell me, can anything be done to stop the harassment.
They are scammers. Buy a whistle or air horn and use it. A home smoke alarm works as well if you hold the phone real close.
This is a version of the you-have-committed-a-crime extortion scam and you are being...
1. charged with fraud or passing bad checks or embezzlement or
2. served with a court summons or arrest warrant or bench warrant or whatever or
3. located in preparation to being served or for a lawsuit or to be arrested or
4. sued for cable TV usage that you've been stealing for years or
5. whatever stupid crap reasons they will think up next.
And you have to...
1. call back with your case number or
2. confirm your address or SSN or whatever so you can be served or your papers can be processed or
3. pay $895 now to avoid paying $5,000 in court or
4. whatever stupid crap reasons they will think up next.
Beware extortion scams come in many flavors and they constantly evolve to stay one step ahead of the law.
