Not only do I get calls from this number but from some number back east all saying the same thing about some lawsuit. I got a call yesterday and told them it was all a scam and he yells at me saying I'll show you how much of a scam this is when I file the papers in the court house. I told him to be my quest and to hold his breath until I answer again. I get these calls every month and have for the past 6 months. I'm sick of it and there has got to be a way to put a stop to them.
Y is the FBI not taking any actions against such scams.
These guys just have to sell their DICKS!!!
Did they not get any other jobs then to sell their dicks.
THIS IS AN EXTORTION SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and may be using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money or personal info for fictitious crimes.

These guys are morons. They barely speak English and like to use American names. So far they've called from phone numbers 646-499-5911 and 626-373-8607 just today. New York and California respectively. Same guy, so they're spoofing phone numbers.
They always say there's going to be legal action and that you'll be arrested if you don't pay them money. One call last week even said he was a federal agent.
I wish I knew what the common thread was between everyone that's getting calls. Who got hacked or what website has everyone gone to? I can only think of a couponing site, but which one?
They left a message with my employers, which happens to be the city. My employers then called me to give me the message. Which was, 'It is urgent that you call back at 626-379-8607. It's is regarding your mother, she has been hospitalized. Ask for Matthew Alex.'
Hospitalized?! I called her cell directly. She was fine, of course. And on her way back home from vacation.
WHO WOULD STOOP SO LOW! I'd love to meet this piece of s**t in an alley way.
