I just received a call at my job. I did not answer it. I let it go to voice mail. Left message advising a that package is going to my home address on Wednesday of this week and to have validate ID to claim it. A lot of noise in the background. SCAM,SCAM, SCAM . I get these calls on the average of once a week, home office or cell. I do not answer my phones. I do not have time for the foolishness. What can be done about these rock heads?
Fraudulent or Zombie Debt Collectors—Things to Know
If you have received a call stating:
1. You have defrauded a financial institution
2. You owe an unpaid payday loan
3. You have a warrant due to an unpaid loan
5. You will receive a court summons
6. Authorities are coming to arrest you
7. Anything similar to above,
a. Do not give them any information or verify any information for them
b. Tell them you know they are a scam operating illegally and that you are filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities
* File a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime webpage http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
* File a complaint with the Attorney General for the state you live in
The more information and complaints there are, the better the chance of getting these criminals to stop (or at least reduce the frequency). [abstracted from another site]
