I am receiving calls at my job from this number from a guy with a heavy middle eastern accent going by the name of Frank Martin. Interesting. I put him on hold and pretended to transfer him then came back and said that Christina was not available can I take a message and his response (each time) is "just tell her that Frank Martin called about a legal matter and to not disregard this call here is my number". They got a hold of my home and cell number somehow and started calling those. I would get back to back to back calls all hours. I told him I knew it was a scam and to send legal documentation and his response after he told me I was being sued was that he needed my lawyers info. I immediately said that if I was being sued then they need to subpoena me and that this could not be done via phone so until I saw legal documentation and a body handing it to me then screw off. I also told him that I did not have to lawyer up and that I was representing myself and he then said that I COULD NOT represent myself that I HAD to get a lawyer and that I HAD to give him the info he was asking for. FUNNY HUH? I told him he obviously doesnt know the United States law or how we do things here but I that if I wanted to I have the legal right to represent myself. All he kept saying was "no you dont". It then got to the point where he told me that if I didnt cooperate he was going to send the cops to my house. My bf got ahold of the phone and told them to eff off and to send the cops that we will be waiting outside in our driveway with drinks in our hands. "Frank" then resonded that there was no need for cursing and that this would be easier if we just gave him the name and number of our lawyer because we were being sued. My partner, thank god for him responded with "this is the United States of America and we know our rights obviously you dont so quit callin (several eff bombs were dropped)". Needless to say that after a short few calls back from this person and a couple more F bombs and threats from my partner they stopped calling. Guess I am one of the lucky few who was able to stop these calls. But ofcourse it took several threats from my partner as well as knowing the law as well as he does to make them stop. Its been 4 months and not one phone call.
Call from 718-247-4468 claiming a payday loan was taken, not paid back and a lawsuite was being filed. They asked if I wanted to pay it off or be sued. I responded that I would have to research it (KNOWING IT WAS A SCAM). Upon calling back, I was able to begin leaving a message, but waas cut short. Another call stated their mailbox was full. The number is identified as a landline from NY (Queens)... I will be reporting this to the Attorney General of my state and NY. Online, I have found other complaints of different scams from this number... Why is this being allowed to continue?
I just received a call from them. And they kept telling me a company and I asked them what is the name of the company and they waited for about 5 seconds (sound like looking up a name) and then told me. I told them they need to send me something in black and white and I said if you have my name you should have my address. They sat on the phone for about 1 minute and I said hello and then they hung up. I could barely understand their accent as well. Very HEAVY accent. I hope someone catches them and throw them behind BARS!!!!
So, this lady just called me and she claimed that she was from the Federal Office of Financial Crimes or some non-sense like that. She keeps calling and asking me to verify my information, which I refuse to do. She wanted to connect me to her "senior" who had information from an attorney about a law-suit.... I told her to mail me the info if it was legit, to which she said she couldn't b/c it was against the law. I let her know that it was a Saturday morning and if she was a fed, she wouldn't be calling me on a Saturday. After I hung up, she called like 6 more times! I think she got the point when I answered the phone and screamed at the top of my lungs and then called her back like 3 times and did the same thing!
I got a call from this number telling me a friend was under investigation and the caller claimed to be a police officer. I knew it was a scam, because my friend and I have never been out of the state in 5 years. They claim that I was used as a reference and needed to verify information of someone else. So I told them "if there was any criminal activity going on the send a summons so that I my have documentation on the investigation. The guy on the phone did not understand what I was talking about, so I told him to get off my phone. I really believe that they're desperate for money and are trying to scare people into identity theft. please if you get a call from this number do not give any info about you or your peers.
Received a call from "Officer John White" claiming to be from the United Financial Crime Dept. telling me that me and my residential address was under investigation and if they did not hear from me they will "drag" me to the courthouse and will have to face some legal consequences. He ended conversation with "have a blessed day." I have made a complaint with the Florida Attorney General and with the FTC. The FTC told me they are doing this alot. You can make a complaint with them by calling 877-382-4357.
