I get a call from 720-251-8274 telling me that he is Officer Mathew Gibson and he has a legal issue against me. The phone umber is from the surrounding area of Denver, but you can tell it's being relayed to over seas in India. All officers speak broken English, and when I told them the number was being relayed, to India they hung-up
I got this same call from an alleged: Officer Matthew Gibson with Law Investigation and that I needed to call him back immediately regarding the matter. So I called the number he left on my voice message; 720-251-8274 to learn more about what this was about and knew right away it sounded very strange.
When I called him back he told me that they had a legal issue against my daughter and that she gave them my number as a reference. I asked what company he was with and he said Loan Cash Net. (I looked this company up but could not find them.) I then asked what was the legal issue and he said that my daughter had taken out a cash advance loan & used me as a reference which was very odd because I doubted that my daughter would have taken out a loan such as this but I then proceeded to ask him, what was the amount and he then said $250. Now I knew something was up because my daughter would have just borrowed this amount straight away from me and not taken out a loan for this.
I then called my daughter and this same Officer Matthew Gibson with Law Investigation had called her cell phone and even her work phone! So she and I searched online to find out more about this so called Officer Matthew Gibson with Law Investigation and we found this posting. I then continued to look into the number he gave us: 720-251-8274 which as stated in the other posting here is near Denver CO, Aurora, Colorado to be exact.

There are 2 phone companies in this area and if you check out http://www.touchstar.com you will see they are in Aurora, Colorado, and provide potential opportunities that someone in business to fraudulently scam people. I am not saying anything negative about TouchStar but I am just pointing out that these types of tools should be monitored to prevent these types of frauds. In this case I believe someone who is POSSIBLY using these tools and trying to earn money by hoping someone will just send the small re-payment of some supposed loan amount in order to stop them from calling or to feel as if they have paid some unknown debt for a loved one. I hope others will see these post if they are getting the same strange calls and not be victimized by this.
I first received a call from work the man on the other end advised that he was with some Law Investigation firm claiming there was a case against me and gave me some type of case number CFI150781. I attempted to ask questions in regards of what type of investigation. He became very rude and started yelling saying, "DO NOT SPEAK I WILL ASK YOU QUESTIONS AND DO NOT INTERRUPT ME!!!". I was very surprise but at the same time concern, so instead reacting I went ahead and let him continue speaking. After he said his long speech (in which i could not understand due to his broken english). He ask me do you agree, I said NO, I want to know exactly this is concerning. He began to yell again saying the same things last time, but with more agressive. So, I kept asking him "what exactly is this concerning" repeately he eventually hung up.
I went into google search engine to look up this company and could not find anything. But I inputted the phone number that I called back. And this link was attached. I read all of the other blogs and it sounds very familiar from what I experienced.
I will be contacting my local authorities and BBB. I suggest that anyone else who experience this same thing is to be very cautious and contact your local authorities as well. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY TYPE OF INFO about you.
That same number called me and my husband saying that my brother put him down as a reference and they need to contact my brother right away saying he took out a loan and never paid it back and the also stated that there were serious legal issues against my brother and my husband. I called the 720...number back to get more information because something just didn't seem right about it, I asked him over and over what the name of the company works for is and he just kept saying law enforcement. I googled the number and found that what they are doing is illegal. When he called back I told him I found that out about him and that I was calling the police he immediately hung up on me. I called the FBI and they said what they are doing is illegal and they are not legitimate. Please do not give any information out to these people. The man I spoke to also spoke broken English and sounded like he was from India.
