Called me and yesterday and said that I was aperp in a case and had my ssn and where I work and that I was in trouble. They are scam artist .I am a retired lawman .
My employer received a phone cal from a ricky harris and left me a msg to call them when I got in today. I called the number and right away some man with a heavy Indian or Pakistan accent says when I ask to speak to Ricky Harris he says there is no him there and asked my name so I told him. He then says do I have an attorney that can represent me or bail me out of jail because I am going to be arressted on Monday and go to jail for at least a 7 day hold or I could pay hium 199 dollars today otherwise it will later cost me 8,000. He claims that a payday loan lender says I got a loan and have refuse to pay them back. I do in fact have a payday loan that I got for 150 and my due date was yesterday which I paid. As we were speaking I looked at my bank statement and told him that they were in fact paid yesterday and payment has already cleared and I went to check my account with payday lender and it shows as well that they were paid. When I told him I thought this was a scam because I know for a fact I have paid. He then tells me hold on I was breaking up and that he would call me right back. He calls me back at work and says to verify my information which I did not, but for me to be very afraid because my local Sheriff's will be coming for me either to wherever I live or to my job to arrest me until they can investigate this further. They claim my loan is through American Cash which I have never even heard of. I have sent an email to my payday lender in which my account is through to make them aware of the situation. The number of this is 508-313-8122 and the name that shows on my caller ID is Starnet Paete.
Got a few calls from this number yesterday and assumed it was a regular telemarketer. The guy had a middle eastern accident and when i was telling him with a stern voice to stop calling this number, he got an attitude and told me not to abuse him. I told him im not abusing him, this is. my number and stop calling, then hung up. The number called back about 5 times right in a row and i did not answer. The next day i was checking my voicemail and he had left a message saying he needed to speak to me or my attorney. He said to stop ignoring his calls and that if i did not return his call or have my attorney contact him, that all he could do for me was let whats coming to me unfold, and good luck to me. When the number originally called, the location said st. Pierre and miquelon. I called the number though and it came up as brockton, ma. I could not get through, it just kept giving me a busy tone
