I had a similar scam happen to me over a week ago. Got $1800 from me. Had me running around for 4 hours getiing moneygrams and reloadit cards. I was told to stay on the phone the whole time while I drove around everywhere cause this was being recorded. As I got home I called the police, i know people think I am crazy that I feel for this but I am not crazy, was threatened and this guy had a thing to make numbers appear on my cell that were fake, even the police station with a guy saying I better listen to this Sam Wilson or I was in deep trouble. The police took a report and evidence and I called the FL attorney generals office cause this is where he said he was from and sent me e-mails apparently with fake logos, how would I know, so it is through magic jack ViOp's they are doing this so the FL general attorney office called and had it shut off and also the ip address shut down so the computers wouldn't work. I got a call from the same latin lady, left a voice message about me being picked up at home or work and see you in the court house. Who says that. So if u get a number of 714-442-2577 OR 714-485-4655 saying this stuff it is a scam, I would hate for anyone to fall victim to this like I did. these people are tricky so you have to be too and know your facts and don't be scared. I am on disabiity due to a rare autoimmune disease, had to move home due to a domestic violence occurance and had to borrow this money from my mom who is the nicest person, would help anybody and she is a single mom, works full time and is my fulltime caregiver. I feel awful about this and just want to help others not fall victim. Even with the police reports and all my evidence I did not get any money back. F these people.
He said he was a Lawyer and said I was going to be arrested for check fraud and money laundering.. he then said Several people said that i took money from them. He said that when the paper work was done my social security number would be blackened and that I would never get a job. He said that he would fax the paperwork to the court and I would be arrested in an hour. NO ONE CAME It a fraud call.
1. It is illegal to call yourself a lawyer if you are not.
2. It is illegal to make threats - arrest, blacken social security, no job
3. Process servers do not call before arriving.
4. Debt is civil - not criminal
If this thief calls again, demand written paperwork mailed to you. That is the only official way of notification.
Threatening call from alleged lawyer firm John Marsh threatening me that I would be arrested. When I asked what this was in reference to he continued to threaten the authorities would come to my home and hung up the phone.
