The same thing is happening to me too. I retired in July 2011 and the phone calls stopped. Now over a year later they are starting up again. I guess they're running out of people to scam and have to harass people who ignore their calls. I have a block on my cell phone so if they leave a message it goes right to voicemail. It just gets so annoying.
I got a call from this number (415) 376-1480 claiming to be Michael Carter, from some kind fraud investigation company. This same person tried to threaten me with legal action last week. I called the loan company directly and spoke to an associate. The associate. had advised me if this person had a indian accent, straight outright the associate from that loan company told me " It's a SCAM ".!!! Just to let you all know there are two people and a women probably working out of rat hole are a bunch of low life losers.
DON'T ACCEPT THESE PHONE CALLS WITH THE NUMBER LISTED ABOVE. THEY'RE GOOD BUT STUPID AT THE SAME TIME. Be very careful they have other numbers they are working out of. Word Out.
This number left a message at my employer. I called the Attorney General of my State and give them the phone number, called my phone company and let them know the numbers. I called the number after speaking to State officials, Told them I was recording the calls and what was the name of the person I was speaking with and the company, I said I needed it to give to the State Attorney General so they could handle the issues with them. They hung-up. Will see it they call back.
I was scam by this middle eastern today. He wanted me to give money at Wal.Mart. It is true that I have some out standing bills, cause my job down sized and im having a difficult time getting a head. The middle eastern man told me if I did not bring $685.00 cash to Wal.Mart and it will be truned into a voucher that I would be arrested tonite. I was afarid and believed him, but my six sense told me that something was not right, so therefore I went too the sheriff office in my community and provided them all the number and they pulled up this is fraud and some people have gave a lot of money too this so called bill collector. How do we stop this ?
May I suggest a few things about 415-376-1480? I told the man and woman who called that I had reported them to CIA in which have not done so, but will do so. I think they are terrorists trying to steal the identity of Americans.
I contacted the legal departments and governmental departments in San Francisco, CA since the number is from that area. These entities are (San Francisco Sheriff Department, San Francisco Police Department, Governor & Attorney General of San Francisco, the Department of Justice, and my local Governor, and other departments). Next on the line is the CIA.
This is a serious offense to threaten someone in this magnitude especially if you are ill or disabled. Please contact these entities because the more complaints are submitted the more serious the matter becomes. These people should be investigated and indicted for fraud and who knows what other laws are being violated.
I received a call from these people today. They stated that I need to contact my lawyer because I was being sued by somebody but they would not state who it was. I asked them to contact me by mail but they refused. I think these are people who are trying to scam people out of their hard earned money. They should be ashame of themselves. God don't like ugly!! I am going to pray for them and God will do the rest.
