I have received the same calls on periodically on my cell and work numbers. This is clearly a scam; after I threat to call the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) the calls stop for awhile. Several names have been used by a male with a HEAVY foreign accent, by the name of Eric Johnson or John Harris. The same threat of a law suit and sending the sheriff to my place of work. Please do not give this or any person your information. if you have a specific department/unit at your work that handle your telephone service, please it report it to them also, especially if you are in a Government agency.
So I'm guessing this is a common scam? I just got a call from this number. "Rick Johnson" who doesn't speak English well at all saying I have 3 criminal charges? They called me 7 times in a row before leaving a voicemail.
I have just got a call from a man name Mike Johnson twice saying its a legal matter and we will have a law suit against you. he could not even speak english to understand what he's talking about. I asked him what is it pertaining to He said being very rude and nasty " just give me you name and Social".
got a call today saying they would have a sheriff at my job to pick me up in the am called the sheriff dept in our town, says its a scam to call your phone service provider and report the number!!
