Has anyone received a call from this number? A VERY heavy Indian accented man who goes by the name "Shane Watson" wants me or my attorney to call the minute I get the message (like that is going to happen).
This is 110% a scam. Complete fraud. They are trying to scare money out of people with fake threats. Calling targets are work (often repeatedly) is just a form of extortion. Some poor souls have paid them hoping they will stop. If someone every was unwise enough to do that, the scammers will just turn around and call you some more claiming there is "interest" you still didn't pay on the fake debt. See the very informative post from Elisabeth for the link to report it to the FTC.
I have been receiveing numerous threatening calls from this number both on my cell phone and my work phone. The person states that his name is Travis Marshall and that I am going to be arrested and may god help me if I do not pay a debt that I DO NOT owe!
I got a phone call from this telephone number the person was foreign and threatening. The caller stated I owed money and I was going to get in trouble. The name given was Jason Davids.
Please Read Alfalfa's,ShillKills and Elspeths posts above. This is a extortion Scam operation and should be reported! If your also getting these calls at work, your boss's should also file reports.
For Extortion Scam Operations, file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
Just got a call few minutes ago from the same person; he transferred me to an officer but I guess I was speaking to the same guy.
He was telling me that I am under criminal investigation and I will be under arrest tomorrow morning at 8am
Yesterday and this morning got a call from the same people telling me I qualified for a business loan of $10k and I need to go to western union to pay $700 insurance fee to Marry from AIG located in Texas.
When I pay the $700 they will release the funds immediately and I can get my $10k.
After that they called few time never answered.
They called me from different number and the person told me I did not need to transfer any money I only need to secure the money and buy Green dot moneypak $250 worth I only need to give them the serial number in the back.
If you give the serial number the money is gone and they can up loaded to their prepaid card
