This is a scam. I have a friend that is a police officer and he called the number, asked them what kind of business they were running and they wouldn't tell him. He told them he was a police officer and they hung up on him. He called back and asked them again what kind of business they were running and told them again that he was a police officer and they called him a name and hung up on him again. If this does happen to you, you need to go to your local police station and report it.
Received a voice mail today from a Joe Brown from Central Investigation and Litigation stating that I am under investigation on fraud. Then 2 friends of mine called stating that a Joe Brown and a Robert Jacobs were looking for me. When calling they using my nickname and not legal name. When I called back a Paul Walker answered the call then transfered me to a Robert Jacobs who then transfered me to an Officer Michael Williams. All had strong foreign accents. They state that my state does not tolerate fraud and that the allegations against me are serious. They recited my SSN and My Bank Name and Acct number, but stated that they needed my routing number. I asked what this was regarding and they couldn't tell me. I asked who started the investigation and they could not tell me either. They could not tell me anything, but that this will go to court if I do not comply and handle it today. They stated that I have a clean background and never committed a crime and it is in my best interest to comply. I stated that I need all of this in writing and once I receive it I will work on resolving the issue, however I will not do or confirm anything over the phone. "Officer Williams" stated that he takes that as a refusal and will go ahead with the proceedings. I interrupted to state that I am not refusing working with them, that I demand everything in writing. He repeated in a harsh tone "I am taking this as a refusal and we will go to court" and hangs up the phone. During all of this, there was a lot of noise in the background, people speaking in foreign language, and cell phones going off.
I do not know what this is about. I also know that I am not under investigation, but the fact they know my information and my friend's information is scary.
I received a message today from this number in reference to my sister. They said that this matter was in regards to criminal activity and that I was listed as a reference so I must be a relative or a friend and if I didn't have my sister call them and clear up this matter I would be legally liable. The man on the message stated that his name was Officer Simon Marshall with Central Investigation and left this number.
Jtraviesa they did the same thing to me. Then they called my kids moneys. I don't have any kids. I told them do they want to speak to my lawyer which handle all my affairs and they kept on going around the question. This is a scam! I ask for something in writing too and they won't apply~
Same guys are hounding me, same MO. I had to have my Work Phone changed to stop the calls
Using Filthy Language, horrible stuff...Now they are calling on the Home Phone which is listed under a Roommate's name. Has anyone figured out how to stop them yet? I submitted a Complaint with my local Police Dept, my Company Legal Staff and the FTC today.
