So I get a call from the "National Bureau Criminal Identification" .....The guy said his name was Michael Jones and that I have bank fraud and owe 1100 dollars right away or else I was going to jail. I laughed and said this is a joke and asked the guy to spell his name for me so i could write all of this down. HE HUNG UP. lol couldn't take him seriously from the start. Learn how to speak english and spell your own "name" the next time you want to serve me MICHAEL JONES. I reported the number to the police. These guys need to go jump off a bridge...asap
These idiots called gave a call-back number, which I called back. I could not understand what they said so I ask "Who did you say this is?" To which they replied in a weak almost scared tone, "This is the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation" I laughed and said okay, hung up and looked up what this agency is...well it is an agency...a special one at that...it is a special police force in Ireland. These guys are scammers, BIG TIME! Lucky for me I had just heard about this scam the night before on a news report, or I might have wondered why such an agency would call me. Then again maybe they heard I was an Irish spy and they wanted me to pay them money to keep them quiet... They did say they were I needed to send them $$.
Not only is this is a scam, the person actually tries to use scare tactics how they are serving a "bench warrant" on me and that if I want to "save my life" I'd better call their number back. The number they left on my voicemail is not the same as on the caller ID. I wish I could find someone with some power to report them to. I work nights, usually going to bed at about 4:30 a.m. Don't call me at 8:30 in the morning and expect me to be nice or to listen to your foreign accented BS telling me you're from the "National Bureau of .Criminal Investigation" - grrrrr. What a stupid, scary CROCK!
I got a call from them yesterday and they tried to say that I had a bank loan that I needed to pay. I told the guy that he was not going to get any money from me and not to call my phone again. He tried to call me back right after I hung up on him but I did not answer. I got a call from my mom telling me that they tried to call her. These guys are so stupid. The last time something like this happenend I had put fraud alerts on my social security number and my credit reports.
I told the person he could not even speak English and could not even say the name right.
