Who called from 5132232655

FRAUD ALERT

If you have received a telephone call from T-Mobile USA cellular telephone number 513-223-2655, it is a scam.

As of 02-17-2012, I have received three telephone complaints regarding this telephone number.  Each complainant has stated that the male caller identified himself as an investigator who represents Ohio Intel.  The caller then advised the victim that they were under investigation for fraud, and that a warrant would be issued for their arrest if they did not make an immediate payment on a debt they owed.  The caller then attempted to obtain credit card information from the victim.  The caller has used the names James Hamilton and William Blair.    

I filed Incident Report # 12-1254 with the Stark County Sheriff’s Office (Ohio) and a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office regarding this scam.  

One victim of this caller advised me that they filed an incident report with the Warwick Township P.D. in Bucks County, Pennsylvania on 02-17-2012.

The other two complainants are from Ohio and Michigan.

If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud in connection with telephone number , 513-223-2655, please contact your local law enforcement agency and the attorney general’s office in your state of residency and file a report.

If someone has made contact with you and they have claimed to represent Ohio Intel, please contact me after filing a report with your local law enforcement agency.  Thank you.

Hi, I was checking my voice mails on my home phone this morning and listened to a message from a male stating his name was James Hamilton a Fraud Investigator on 02/15/12. When leaving his message he stated the call was for Julie Mote - I have been married now for 5 years.  The number he left for me to return his call was 513-223-7726 which my caller ID indicated was from Cincinnati OH.  I googled his name and fraud investigators in Cincinnati OH and found your post.  Thank you so much for posting this information and I will follow your direction and contact my local law enforcement and the attorney generals office.  

Thank you for this helpful information

The suspect telephone number 513-223-2655 is no longer accepting calls at this time.  This could be a result of the Warwick Twp. P.D. (Bucks County, PA.) calling the suspect and questioning him. I was informed that the suspect hung up on the police officer.

Julie,

I would also appreciate the name of your law enforcement department and an incident report number.  Please email or call me with the info.

It is my understanding that the caller did successfully obtain credit card information from at least one victim.  

Thanks.

Scott, I received another call from James Hamilton again this morning.  What really scares me about this call is that he has my SSN.  I told him that the # he has was wrong but he has my correct SSN.  Had old address, email and employer and said the file he was calling about is from 1st American Bank. I have never even heard of them nor had an accout with them.  I email the information on Saturday to Knox County but have not heard back. So I am calling the City of Knoxville Police right now to report this information.  Also, when I told Mr. Hamilton I knew he was a fraud he denied it and was very persistant.  When I told him I have and was calling again the police he hung up. He called me again from the same phone# as before 513-223-7726.

I will keep you updated with the police report information.
