Yeah, the left me a message saying they were calling from bureau of criminal investigation. Interesting, since we don't have that in America, we have the FBI. Said she was calling about my social security number. Very thick middle eastern accent. The funniest part is the phone number left on the voicemail did not match the phone number on the caller id.
I have been getting calls on my cell phone for months, and they have started to call my wifes cell as well and they are very rude and demanding and swear they are sending the police if I don't pay them money, the man is very hard to understand, he is obviously from another country he says he is with the bureau of investigation from pennsilvania the number he uses is 7172980761
This "company" is calling to collect "owed money" to another company, so I ask to who and I call the company were I "owe" money and I found that I'm current! be aware total scam!
THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort money for fictitious crimes or your personal ID.

The guy called me and pretended to be a federal officer Mathew Jinkins. Tells me to call him back at this number using the ext 9211. Has a very thick accent while he mumbles and pauses too much in the message. He also gave too much detail regarding a "case" they had.
Yes they called my mother in another state then from myself and then when I called I was suppost to speak to Nick Thomas he told me there was a warrent for my name....i said Im not the only person with that name I told them if they did not stop scamming on the phone I was calling the real police and turn ya'll in and they hung up....heavy accent....I will be reporting them to the police and file a harrasment charge or case on them
