THIS IS A SCAM!!! Thanks to my ex-wife I have been through this before with a Ca. based phone number. First time they tried to call I let it go to voice mail to see if they would leave a message. It was a heavy Indian accent who called himself "Roy Ledger" and said he was from the Legal Dept. from the State of Ma. I checked the number on this website and waited for them to call back. When they called back I lied to them and told them I didn't know the person and they had the wrong number. He started cussing like a child and asked who I was and why I didn't know her, I told him it was none of his damn bussiness and hung up the phone. He called back about a minute later and started cussing me out all over again, I told him to F*** off and die. They haven't called since.This is what I have learned. 1) If you don't recognize the number (or if they are blocking it) DON'T ANSWER!! Let them leave a message, that's what it's there for. 2) Don't offer or varify ANY personal info over the phone.( i.e. social or bank account info) 3) If you have already idenified yourself to them, then ask them for their name, company name, address and phone number. Ask them to send you a "Validation Letter". This is required by law to show all the details of the debt. At this point if he is a fake, he has probably already hung up on you! They pray on the weak and ill-informed. The reason they keep calling is because you let them! 4) Call the Federal Trade Commision (FTC) and YOUR State General Attorney"s Office. The FTC can verrify if they are legit. The two agencies may not investigate one complaint, but if they get enough calls, trust me they will! They shut down the one in Ca. and there are people in the U.S. AND India that have been arrested and are awaiting trial! These kind of scams will not stop untill we wake up and stand up for ourselves (and each other) and contact the agencies that we pay to protect us. They can't help you if you don't call them. I have all-ways said "An educated man will believe what he has learned, an un-educated man will believe anything.
Google says this number belongs to real time locksmith in Boston Not true if you call this number and ask for their business name they say something along the line of Investigations.
I have someone call me from this number and ask for Brian Clarke and then harass me.
They repeatedly have called looking for an employee of mine that is not able to be reached in the office. The callers have been rude to the point of calling our receptionist staff stupid and telling me that I if I do not ensure that the employee returned their calls that they would just contiinue to call.
I called back and asked to speak with a supervisor. Another employee did get on the line, but based on our conversation (and the one he was having with the employee who'd been calling) he clearly was not in a supervisory role.
Once told to discontinue the harrassment of my staff, they proceeded by calling and asking to be transfered to various management level employees and hanging up.
