my husband just got this same call from a man claiming to be attorney Alex Cooper, he was calling from 916-259-9381. my husband first got a disturbing voicemail message from a Hindu sounding woman named "Lisa White" (like that's her real name). She said that they needed my husband to call them immediately to discuss a legal matter. My husband called and another Hindu man named "Alex Cooper" said that he was with the State Attorneys office for the state of California and that my husband was being sued for fraud for taking out a payday loan. He went on to say that the police were going to come to his place of work and arrest him. We did in fact get a pay day loan from a company, however the due date to pay it back isn't for another 3 weeks from now. Between me and my husband calling this "company" trying to get answers, we called them 4 times with us being hung up on by this "Alex Cooper" guy. We went online and looked him up and saw that all of these other people are getting the same kind of calls from all kinds of different numbers. We decided to call this guy one more time. He answered and then proceeded to call my husband a "mother f***er" and a "f****ng loser" and that we can not be calling his number all the time. This is obviously some kind of a scam and I do believe it is a federal crime to impersonate an attorney. I say everyone should call all these different numbers and give this guy a taste of his own medicine.
I received a call from this company stating that they are working for the Federal Government. No matter how many times I stated that I am not the person that they are looking for and that they need to remove my number from their list, the guy continued to try to get information from me and asking me what my name was. And when I asked for his information he told me that he does not have to give me that. So I told him to send a official letter and then we can talk. This is most likely a scam. Do not fall into this. These people try to scare you thinking that you may have did something wrong just so that they can get money from you or access to your bank accounts. I have worked in fraud prevention and this is not the proper process.
Some guy called my house at 6:45am this morning. 3 times in a row! I guess he thought his long, monotonous, Indian-Pakistani-Sri Lankan-hard-to-understand voiced message wasn't long enough. Retard. Anyway, he said, "This message is for [my husband's name]. The reason for my call is because your name and social security number are being sued. The attorney needs to get in touch with you as soon as possible about this law suit as soon as possible at (415) 376-1474. If you do not contact us immediately, then we can only wish you good luck in your life."
