Received a called from 716-262-1621 saying that I have to contact the IRS because there is a red flag on my Social Security Number. The caller identified himself as Raymond Francis. He said I have to contact the audit department. Immediately, I looked up this number and my conclusion is this is a fraud. Please be aware of anyone calling you from this number. Also I received a call prior from another number identifying as the IRS to contact them at 646-470-9980.
Man named Ray Johnson called from 7166261621 said he is from Cash America, said we were approved for a 5000.00 loan. Wanted us to purchase a green dot money card and load 49.00 on to card and call him back with card info. When he gets money off card he will then load the loan proceeds onto card. Husband and I became suspicious when caller ID said Brenda Marshall instead of Cash America. I went on Cash America's website and got a number for Customer Service. The Lady in Customer service said the name and number was not affiliated with their company and suggested I file a report with the Federal Trade Commission. That is what I did. Please if you recieve a call from this no. check it out before sending any money. The green dot card is untraceable and your money will be gone with no way to get it back.
The caller (716)262-1621) keeps calling my landline number. The calls are from a Ray Johnson and a Brenda Marshall. This is CASH AMERICA. I never answer but they constantly leave messages to say I have been approved for a loan which I DID NOT APPLY FOR! I finally forwarded a reply to a message three days ago and Ray Johnson answered. He was foreign speaking. He said he would remove my number from their list, but it has not been done. Got another call this morning (caller ID said Brenda Marshall), but it was Ray Johnson again. I forwarded a reply to them AGAIN and said I would report them if they called again. PLEASE check these people out. I realize this kind of thing happens every day but something has got to be done about these scammers.
