Have a new number thought it was AUTO DIALER FREE,.....never an ID(they know they should not call)...well thats ok...thanks to these smart phones....just put them on the REJECT CALLER LIST....NO WORRIES NOW....
and YES the Govt. should pass more laws to protect the general public from these types of calls,,,maybe the fcc already has them they just do not get used....I will certainly do some checking on that...
caller ID said TATA Communications but it is actually the Northland Group, a bunch of scum bags debt collectors trying to collect on old debts. They use various numbers for their scam activities.
My family has been receiving calls from this number, not just normal collection calls but the guy on the other end is saying that he is with the Fresno, California Police Department and he needs their address and social security number in order to clear the warrants for their arrest.
My parents nor my brother has ever visited Fresno or even California. We called the Fresno Police Dept and according to the department, they have no Detectives working there by his name or recorded with his number. Luckily my family is pretty smart and hasn't turned over any information but please beware of this guy and his attempts to gather info.
I have turned him into the wireless carrier and working on having him caught.
thanks for all the info in this thread, it was very helpful with finding out that this guy is a true Scammer!!
