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.
These people were calling my phone and leaving voicemails for weeks. Today they called my job. Tried telling me that I was going to be arrested at my job and would get fired because of this. I knew it was a scam when he told me the loan was taken out in 2003 but the email they were using was only created 2 years ago. Hmmmm.....
He also told me to listen to him and hear him out so I did. When I began to ask questions and demanding facts he tried to cut me off. I told him that I listened to him so he was going to listen to me now. He began yelling that he was calling the police and have me arrested, then hung up on me.
