Received a call yesterday from this scammer (347) 851-4407. Some guy who claimed his name is John wanted to talk about my supposedly unsecured debt. Subject claimed he was from American Financial. I told the slime ball not to call back and hung up however i've already received three more phone calls ( unanswered ) from the thief today. All these calls are to my cell phone.
I received a call from this number on my work phone. We are an advertising agency and deal with agencies like this alot. Most everyone here had their number entered into an online form or called into some type of commercial.
This agency probably bought that data (or more likely stole) for cents on the dollar.
They mask their number so it appears to be a NY number but it is ultimately untraceable.
Just tell him you ate his cow and hang up.
Thats what I did.
I just received a call from this number (347-851-4407). He started by stating that they are contacting people with credit card debt who are current on their payments. He also said they are not a debt consolidation company or a debt collector... I interrupted him at this point and told him that I'm on the National Do-Not-Call Registry and asked why I was receiving this call. He literally screamed at me to "Shut up!" and "I didn't ask if you were on the registry, you stupid [***]!" I told him to never call again, or I would report him to the MD Attorney General for prosecution. He then screamed at me (and this is an exact quote) "F*#! you! F*#! you! I'm going to f*#! you! F*#!" I hung up then.
I have already reported this call to the National Do-Not-Call Registry, the New York State Attorney General's Office, and the Maryland State Attorney General's Office. If you have a similar experience, please do the same!!
I just received a phone cal from this number. He knew my name and said we had spoken before Christmas about my credit card debt that I wanted to settle. He said he was from United Services. I said that I didn't remember talking to him and that I don't want him to call me anymore, and started to hang up. but he yelled at me "WHY?!!?" I told him I wasn't interested and he continued to yell at me. I asked to talk to his supervisor and he said that he was a manager with that company. I told him than he should know better than to yell at customers. He called me a F*****G B***H! and hung up.
Got a call, asked for my wife by name. Did the standard 8K in credit card debt. When we asked who he was with, he said "United Services." When we told him we were on the do not call list, he became verbally abusive and profane then hung up. Indian/Pakistani accent..
I got 5 calls from these people yesterday. The first time they called I figured they were standard telemarketers and I told them I was very busy and really didn't have time to talk to anyone (which was true). I asked the man not to call back and he said "I will." I hung up on him and he immediately called back. When I asked why he was calling again when I just told him I was busy, he said "I like the sound of your voice," which shocked me. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said "I am the supervisor." I told him I was on the Do Not Call list and not to call me again and he said "I will call you again." I kind of lost it at that point and cursed at him because I was so angry and a little freaked out. I hung up on him and he called back twice. I just hung up both times but it really upset me. The same number called back hours later and I had someone else (a man) answer the phone. The caller wouldn't say anything that time, just hung up. It really freaked me out. He never said why he was calling me. I feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one they're calling.
