I have received several voice mails on my cell phone from 760-278-1787,stating his name was Jack Marshall with a very thick Indian accent. He said that the either my attorney or I must contact him immediately regarding an important matter. He threatened me with legal action if my attorney or I did not contact him immediately. I was instantly suspicious and stated looking up his number online. I did not call him back. I received more calls from a different number. This caller sounded exactly the same but called himself Fabio or Sergio and has a New York number (347-753-8026). This caller is calling my work number as well as my cell phone and leaves voice mails on both phones. Every call, either from Jack or Fabio, states the same thing... either my attorney or I must return the call or bad things will happen to me. I have read on the internet that the people that have answered these calls are threatened with legal action if they do not repay a payday loan that they took out over the internet. I have yet to talk to either of them. They have only left the threatening messages. Now I am receiving voice mail messages at work and on my cell from people with different phone numbers and locations all of which have heavy Indian accents leaving the same messages: 347-753-8026 (Fabio or Sergio from the New York Law Firm), 713-510-5219 (William Scott from something Federal), 510-473-4935 (Officer Alan Dodge, FBCI), 253-561-7911 (Kathy Williams with an Auburn, WA phone number told me to call her back @ 315-280-8634, which is an Onieda, NY number). I have called all of these numbers back and got told they were either law firms or Officers/ Senior Investigators with "The Federal Bureau if Crime Investigation” (FBCI). I talked to 2 of them today (no caller ID at work). The first one I talked to said her name was Kathy Wilson and that I was going to be getting sued in the courthouse this Friday. I asked her which courthouse and she got irate stating that it didn't matter, she was just informing me of the litigation against me. She eventually hung up on me while I was questioning her. The second caller stated he was an officer (could not understand his name) from FBCI and that they were filing a legal case against me. When I told him that he was calling me on a federal phone line and the call could be traced he started cussing at me and transferred me to another person who said he was Senior Investigator Bob White with the FBCI. He informed me they were filing a law suit against me for a pay day loan I took in October of 2010 in the amount of $300 that was deposited into my checking account. He had my SSN, address and bank information. I told him his line could be traced and he stated that I was threatening him. After about 20 minutes of this going back and forth, I hung up the phone. I checked my bank records and there was no deposit of $300 in October of 2010. I called all of the numbers back today with a blocked number and could not get any information from them, they wanted my information so give them their company information. They couldn’t even tell the number I called them on. I was told that I needed to tell them the number I called so they could bring up my information. I did not give them anything. When I called 315-280-8634 (Oneida, NY), the gentleman that answered said his name was Mark Thompson from BCI Law Firm in Chicago. When I asked him why his number was from Oneida, NY, he hung up on me. When I called 510-473-4935 (Oakland, CA) Rosie Williams from FBCI answered the phone, when I questioned her, she transferred me to Victor Morgan, who eventually hung up on me. I looked up 347-753-8026 on white pages reverse phone lookup, it said the number was registered to Rego Park Locksmith, 9608 Queens Blvd, Flushing, NY 11324. When I called that same number, a gentleman answered stating that it was the New York Law Firm in New York City. When I asked him his name, he hung up on me. I know this is a scam, I just want it to stop.
I have the same issue, but with a funny twist. They used a typo of my name that I had entered accidentally into an online servey. From what I found that servey was either hacked, or willingly sold my information to various online groups. As that same typo has come up in endless spam ranging from car loans to back to school programs.
My suggestion is to irritate them, much as you've been doing. If they realize you aren't buying them scam they may give up, if not and it escalates, save any voicemail you have of theirs and threaten to press charges.
They recently started blocking their number with me, which makes it really easy to tell it's them, so I have piles of voicemail. It doesn't help that I'm hard of hearing, and as such they should accommodate my disability with written notices, I barely understand two words from them and have had to have a family member listen for me.
Also, Kathy told me my court case was Tomorrow and in Texas, I live in Florida. She didn't tell
Me what courthouse it was at.
I don't know who owns this number but I have recieved a call from this Indian guy claiming he has a huge lawsuit against me for a payday loan. NOT TRUE. It's a scam to get money out of you. They won't stop calling so I just give him a hard time and now they blocked my number from calling. LOL!
I got a phone call last night from a James Freeman who supposedly work s for law office and stating that there is a criminal case against me in the amount of $984.98. He gave me this number 347-753-8026 and fax number 347-402-7131, I tried to call to get the info on the law office but surprise surprise it does not accept incoming calls. He did state that they were collecting for a company called Speed or Speedy Cash and that a deposit of $500 was put into my bank account sometime in February, I did check my accounts and there was no such deposit. We need to stop this people, please give me any info about how to go about this. Please feel free to contact me @ [email protected]. Thank you
