This number calls and says they are a law firm, and states my name, ss#, and business name, and tells me they are coming to arrest me and that i am going to jail for 6 months
I too got a call from this number saying that they were a law firm who said that I owed a payday loan? Im like I have never had a payday loan nor do I even really know what it is. They then ask for my last four of my social and im like i do not feel comfortable telling you my information. They said that was the only way they could look up why I had to call them back for? they knew my social as well. I did not tell them it all and they could tell me it. This really worries me but I called them back and told them I knew it was a scam and they got mad and hung up on me. I called back again and the same guy answered and said he would send me paperwork and hung up automatically. They would not answer the call several times in between when I tried calling them. Then not even an hour and half later, I get a call saying I won a Free Government Grant and they worked for the Government, I just hung up not to mention all of them foreigners so how does that work and they hang up when you dont respond. I have also had calls from people saying I qualify for a loan and what not, this happened first like the last 3 days and then now these two calls. They are scams, no one take them serious and give out too much information. I know im looking into it because no one should know your social. This will not be handled calmly.
Kept getting calls from this number asking for my lawyer or me to call them back and it was a serious matter so i call them back and it sounds like a bunch of racket in the background and it's a foreigner on the phone that can barely speak english saying I took out a payday loan and they had my social which i did not give them but i knew it was a scam because i had no payday loans out nor had i taken any out!! I told them if they call my cell phone ONE MORE TIME they would hear from my lawyer and th cops!! They were like ok we will not call you again!! I said you will not scam me out of my money!! DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING THEY SAY THEY ARE SCAMMING YOU!!!
I also recieved a phone call from this number today,(9/19/2012).I knew immediatly this was a scam because it was a woman with a "Heavy" accent claiming her name was Jenny Jones. Come on........I called her out immediatly and said if your Jenny Jones I'm Joe Blow!!!!!!!!! This didn't affect her a bit and she still tried to pull off something like "Do you know there's 3 cases against you and your social sec. number.? I need to get info from you, what is your lawyers name? blah blah blah" It was scarey because she repeated my last 4 digits of my Soc. number, knew my address etc. She said to call a lawyer at a number which was coincidently the same number(but I didn't know until i got off phone and checked I.D.) that she was calling from. She said to call Michael Carter and I had to call right away. Of course I told her I had to report the number first to the FCC and I wasn't stupid and she could take her scam and "SHOVE-IT". Please report this nu8mber if you get a call. You can always do a reverse call look-up for free. It will give you the location and what kind of number like landline etc. for FREE. Go to (Phone Detective).......When I did it, the number is from a landline in Stinson Beach, Bolina's CA. The phone # is 415-952-3898.
i also got a call exactly like yours and the lady told me my ss#, address, bank acct. #, fverything. she also told me she was going to apply for loan after loan after loan. what did you do? cause i dont want my name drug thru the mud, since they have all my info.
