Well. they started calling again..they gave me a week or two break and now they are at it again. I have a new name to associate with them. He said his name is Antonio Rock and he is the supervisor of the legal agency and he tried to tell this is serious. My wife talked to them and couldn't get anywhere the only thing they say is very serious matter and have him call me, she kept asking questions and asked why they didn't have an address so he gave me one which I know is not theres because it took him awhile to come up with it, he said they are in Pittston, PA but couldn't tell her where it was. He said she should know if she lives in pa so we knew the address he gave is probably someone he is screwing with too which really sucks. We tried something different with them and called them from a cell phone and they did answer but didn't know who it was so he started asking her questions like, who are you, how old are you, you have a sweet voice can we meet and go out sometime...what a sick pig, these people are sick and need to be stopped. I have already done the reporting of this and don't know where to go next. My work is investigating this as well because I work for the State Police and these pricks are using numbers that can't be traced. Any suggestions as to another way of finding them? I feel sorry for all the people they are affecting, I don't understand how they can't be traced or caught...
I got a voice mail from a man I could hardly understand. Heavy accent. He had the last 4 digits of my social which is extremely worrisome. I couldn't understand half of what he said, but he voice was of a threatening nature and said if I didn't call back immediately I would be in trouble. Can't imagine what this is about -- anyone else had any of these calls? Thanks.
My oldest son (John) just got a call. They was looking for his brother (Sam). Caller said Sam is involved in illegal activity and to have him call (570) 212-9465. John asked many questions but caller would not give any information. John began laughing and caller said "Why you laugh? You in trouble too." John asked "How's that?". Caller said "He use you as reference." What a crock. Thanks to the previous poster (worried). It helps to know other people check this stuff out and it helped to confirm our suspicions.

I received a phone call from a man with a heavy accent. and said I was in trouble for some illegal activity and theat I got a loan under fraudulent activity and if I didnt pay I would go to jail so I better get a lawyer. He had a lot of my personal info but old info not recent info, when I started asking him information he got very upset and hung up on me. Then he called my job and tried to get my boss to garnish my check for the money and when she started asking questions he hung up on her too.
