My mother got a voice mail from a Mr. Johnson who spoke very broken English. He said to please call back asap and that it is a very urgent matter regarding some kind of bank transaction. They also wanted her SSN#. Well she freaked out because this was on her cell number which only a handful of people have. She saved the messages and had me listen to it. There was all sorts of shuffling and people talking in the background. It sounded extremely suspicious to me. She tried to call him back but did not leave him a message. I told her under no circumstances to attempt to call him again. I can just imagine how an elderly person would fall for this and give out their personal information and get their accounts wiped out or have their SSN # stolen.
received a call from Officer Patric Davis, badge #15477 stating that I have a pending law suit against me for check fraud and theft by deception.
money was deposited to my account and I owe money to "Gas at Once" If I settle with this investigator I can pay $525 but if I go to court they will want me to pay $2586.00. If I pay within the next 2 hours I can pay $475.00. I need to go to money graham and call him back and he will tell me where to send the money or I can pay by debit or credit card.
this is a foreign speaking man
I just received this same call same guy same scenario, I started lauging cause I knew I did not get $ put in my acct via EFT, and he was saying that I didnt pay the money back. He said I can expect the police to show up w/ a warrant for me and said God Bless and hung up. What a joke!
I almost started freaking out as well once he repeated my ssn. All I did was apply for a payday loan which I never had to use and now I have some Indian guy calling me with broken English, cutting in and out to pretend the conversation was being recorded. I just called the number back and he answered as the offices of John Johnson. Really? That's so believable. What an a-holes! I've never wished bad things on people, but these [***] really deserve the worst.
