Hey, Thanks for that info! It was probably the ODDEST call I have gotten period! I put a complaint in with the FTC right away. Also notified my (Pennsylvania) Attorney general's office and better business bureau.
And as I said in my posting, being a former paralegal, that claim was so far over the top that I KNEW it was false!
This person indicated they were a lawyer and I had to give them $800 in order to not go to jail. They also said if I hung up the phone I would go to jail.
The caller said he was a lawyer and that i had criminal charges and said that if i hung up he would persue this matter in court. Well i know i have no criminal charges and if i did why would a lawyer call me from new york? BS! he also wanted my social security number. No way!
This number keeps calling me. He stated that it was some legislative matter and that if i call my attorny, he has the details. I dont have an attorny! WTH is this? Now he just left a messge that says "see you in the courthouse" For what????????
