I received a phone call from this number. Person left there name as Mark Rogers, an investigator. Said that I needed to contact him within 24 hours to avoid legal action. Called from an unavailable number. Did not leave any additional info.
They claim to be investigators who were threatening me with fraud charges for a credit card back in 2008 that I was legally granted. They claim that they have me on surveillance "stealing" this ring from the store whom granted me the credit card. They said I stole it because I ended up not completely paying off the credit card due to losing my job. There was absolutely no fraud here. They told me that the store is suing me and that I face charges and asked mevto make payment with them right then. The man was very nasty to me and was furious and threatening when I told him that I needed to speak with family and my attorney. He finally hung up on me. They also called my mother and an out of state relative saying that I was being charged with fraud ect... my family was of course very worried until I found out what it was about. I strongly beleive that they are full of crap, and need to stop trying to scare people into paying them and harassing them.
Received a call from a man claiming to be investigator Tom Fletcher regarding someone he claimed lived here at my address who was going to be charged with fraud. I never heard of the person. He claimed this person knew my son and he had all sorts of personal information on my son and myself which he proceeded to tell me. He wanted my son's phone number, but I would not give it to him. He gave me a case docket number and asked me to have my son call him and was very irate with me that I would not cooperate. So much about this said SCAM.

Two of my relatives were contacted by this number and were told if I didn't call within 24 hours a warrant for my arrest was going to be issued. I called the number and something about Fraud was on their VM. That's crazy! I've never stolen a thing in my life. Let alone FRAUD!
