This is a load of BS. I build websites for people and these morons from the "Legal Investigations Unit" (with the THICK Indian Accents) are calling a number listed in the "Whois" directory for the website of one of my clients. For those who aren't aware, the "Whois" directory lists the owner of a domain, their address, phone number and email address so that if someone has to make contact about the domain for some reason, there is a way to do so. It's like a phone book. If you want your info to be unlisted you have to pay an extra fee to a proxy service, yearly, and they provide an address, phone number and email for someone to call When you contact the proxy service, they will then contact the owner of the domain with the info.
I encourage my clients to use the proxy but if they don't want to, I tell them to get a P.O. Box and use internet voice mail to avoid giving SCAM ARTISTS access to personal info. This actually costs more than the proxy but some clients don't want to rely on the proxy service, they want direct control and they want immediacy.
My assumption here is that these imbeciles troll the "Whois" and make random calls. I could be wrong since they aren't using the registrants name, but it seems to me that this is complete BS. The calls are also so vague as to be laughable.
they called me twice today saying my name and ssi number was under an investigation said i had for hours to call back with info they wanted and that the cops will be looking for me. i call back and all it does is ring bunch of crap if u ask me.
got a call wanted many, got really mad at me for no reason said that i owed a company some money that i didn't. Threaten me with a warrent for my arrest. hahaha thats funny i hung up on them and they called me back like 4 times.
I got a call from them today and they left a voicemail stating the matter was very urgent and I needed to give them a call back. I call them back and they tell me that my social security number is under investigation because of a loan they claimed I owed. They could not provide me with the contract/reference number, the exact loan company, the date the loan was obtained, nothing. I began to probe for more answers from the arabic/indian (he did not speak good english) person that i was speaking with, he must have realized I was not going to pay any money to him, because he became very hostile and told me that I will be sorry and the police would be contacting me in 30 minutes. He then proceeded to hang up on me but before doing so said something obscene. I recorded this conversation and will be posting it soon.
