This idiot left a message at my place of work (fed govt). They are so dumb thinking that giving themselves English names they would sound legitimate even though their accents are clearly Indian/Pakistany. The first time it scared me quite a bit but then looked up the number and found out what was going on. I cannot wait for them to call back and have my "lawyer" speak to them. This is going to be great.
I have a suggestion: lets find out where they are really from (the number on caller id is most likely a VoIp number), buy tickets and make their lives a living hell. I am such an easy going person, but they drive me nuts and just simply aggrevate me.
This is yet ANOTHER scam. These people give themselves American names in the hopes that people will fall for their threats and give money/information. Please DO NOT. I unfortunately fell for this twice to the tune of $1500 before i googled the information and found out how they operate. these numbers should be forwarded immediately to the US Federal Government 989-497-0580.
I have been contacted from this mentioned number. The person is telling me that I have been named in a fraud law suit. The4y would not give me the name4 of the company that was filing this suit. They were demanding $792 immediately to stop any further legal action. The name that was given was David Stone. This person's english was very broken and very hard to understand. I was also told that he was from the federal government. He threatened to have an investigator come to my employer and then come to my home and arrest me. Please find some way to stop these harrassing phone calls for all of us. This is very interrupting of our daily lives.
THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or your personal ID.
