got a call from this arab person saying i had a loan out and that he was from the FBI and if i didnt pay it that there was to be an FBI officer at my residents within an hour to arrest me (laughs). so i did the usuall thing and went to the city pd and said arrest me... They laughed and asked for my id. They ran my name and So giving my hopes up, they did NOT arrest me. They asked what was going on and i told them, yet i was lucky that the Arab guy called because he had a number that showed 0000. So i lied to him saying my cell phone batty was dead and if i could get a number to call him back on. He gave me-1-708-593-4738. so i hung up the phone and called him back and he aswered! (shocked) i then lied to him again and said i had to run home and get my card #. anywho, the police traced the number after making a call to them twice and it came back from illionois... Police said scam is written all over this number... As anyone who gets talked to rudely to, i am pissed but amused... If you get a call from this nuber, do the american thing and tell them to stuff it :)

I received the same call today. I hung up on him and told him I didnt have time to listen to him anymore. He called back from an 0000 number but left the number 708-593-4738 to call me back. I have save the number and message from my voice mail. I am waiting on him to call back again since I am in law enforcement to see what he will say next. He also told me I would be picked up if I dont call him back within an hour and I didnt so I guess I am okay for now. I want him to call me back so I can let him know I will not be doing as he say and give him a piece of my mind.
