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!
I had the same issue today. The guy called me and could barely speak English. He blew up my phone and kept telling me that I was going to jail for 3 months and that a cop would be at my house within an hour. E had my social, my address, and my place of employment. He keeps harassing me.
This guy called my phone leaving messages saying that if me or my attorney don't call him back good luck with the trouble that's headed my way. He had all my info ssn work number job everything. His paralegal name is suppose to be a Michael Thomas. He refer me to call a Adam Garcia who is supposedly an attorney. The number is 347-815-5684 but they tell you to call a 347-815-5735 number. These guys have and accent and are very rude they kept hanging up the phone and when I call back the phone just beeps. I notified my bank, lifelock. And I request a copy of my credit report . I have also, called a lawyer. I will be contacting the FBI and FTC office. These crooks need to be caught immediately. They threaten you and say you have three criminal charges pending and lawsuits. If anyone has pending charges why is a lawyer calling from New York? Under your rights they can't tell you that by phone or written. These guys want money sounds like and they are going to whatever level to scare people to get it. Extortion! Please if you are experiencing the same matter. Contact the authorities and let's bring these guys down.
this number just called me and now im glad i didn't pick up i actually been getting threatening fake emails from a MICHAEL THOMPSON which is very similar to the name in Mika's post . These losers seriously need to give it up and find a real job ive had enough of their ridiculous crap calling my phone from all these strange numbers and sending me fake emails saying that i need to pay $980 or im going to jail...lol really?? ok sure no problem where woulod you like me to send that to? COME ON! get a f**n life !
Called my cell and asked for me. It was very difficult to understand because his English was so poor. I asked who he was and he said his name was Gene and he needed to get my information for a court case. Never said who he represented but then I did not acknowledge, who I was either. I told him never to call this number again. It is BS. These guys are bottom feeders who buy old debts that have already been written off by the company. People need to be aware they are bullies and try to scare people. If you give them $1, you then open the door to the old written off debt being re-filed. I had this happen to friends. Don't give them ANY INFORMATION!!!
