I received a simliar phone call from 661-270-6715 and the person claimed to be a Steven Morales. He told me I took a loan from American Pay-Day and that I was going to be sued. I had no idea what this person was talking about ... he tells me that I was given a loan and have not made any arrangements to pay them back. The money that was loaned to me was deposited into my bank account for me .... unfortunately for this person I do not have a bank account!! This is complete BS .... and this person does not know who they are messing with. My godmother happens to be an FBI Agent .... and now this little information will be passed on to her.
Thank you Steven Morales and David Sebastian from 661-270-6715 ... I promise you will be investigated =]
I recieved the same phone call yesterday They claimed that I was the "Prime Suspect" in a case that was filed against me in my state. They also had the heavy middle eastern accent you all write about and they sounded as if they were reading a script. The 1st call was a message left on my cell and when I called the number the person claimed to be Jacob Brown from the Law offices of John Washington and Associates. They demanded that I pay the amount of $620.75 in order to stop this from going to Court today at 11am. I needed to write a letter (affidavit- my word, not theirs). authorizing them to w/draw that amount from my acct. They wanted all my credi/debit card acct info including exp dt and CVV code, my SS#, mailing address and a copy of my Driver's License!!! They also wanted me to have this letter notarized. When I told them I had to pay for the notary as well, they said it was okay to send w/out it and they will notarize it themselves. That's what gave them away to me. I did some research on the number the call came from. it was an 818 area code (CA) and the Fax # has a 951 arrea code (TX). I have filed a complaint with the State Attorney General's office and with the FTC. Please, Please don't fall into this scam they will rip you off take all your money and then have the nerve to say God Bless you and Good luck. Are you F***ing kidding me? Hopefully w/ all of us filing these complaints and posts we can stop these ignorant [***] once and for all. So..." Good Luck" to THEM in trying to get way with This sh*
