First off, I'm so grateful for this site. I received a call from 760-284-0200 in a voice similar to that usedby the now famous Annonymous character. It instructed me to avoid criminal prosecution by calling another number. Interestingly, it mentioned that this was a tax evasion issue that the Department of the Treasury was investigating. That told me all I needed to know. The IRS will mail you a complaint which will be investigated locally in your state. God bless each of you for exposing this scam and I hope this miscreants are brought to justice.
i recieved a phone call from a different number but telling me to call this #. so I did call them. They said the same thing to me. if i don't pay the 845 something today I could go behind bars. they know my social # and everything. they scared me and i started crying because I don't want to go to Jail. The guy's name was Sean Michael something but he sounded like he's indian or something. he wouldn't even give me my case #. is this a scam or is it for real?
There is a man with a heavy middle eastern accent that is harassing me at work. He claims that his name is Chief James Brown. I had a very difficult time trying to understand what he was saying, but he said that he was calling from FYE or FEI. He wanted me to verify my social security number, because there is a criminal case against me. I would not give him my SS#, so he became angry and said that I would be placed under arrest and extradited to California. I asked him what were the charges against me and he would not tell me without my SS#. I asked to speak with someone who spoke better English, because I could barely understand me and he stated that I would meet him in person when he comes to arrest me. And I said good, that I needed a vacation. Of course, he did not find that funny and hung up on me.
I started receiving these same phone calls over the past few days. I had received the same type of phone calls back in the summer, only those calls came from Texas. The aggravating thing is that I haven't had a payday loan in years. So how they got my information is beyond me. The first time amused me only because I knew it was a scam, this time it just pissed me off. I told the red dot hindu indian that I was going to hunt them down and have their heads on a platter for dinner. He didn't seem to care, however, I would love to see these pieces of human waste ran out of town with their little buddas shoved up their [***].
I received 49 phone calls within the past 24 hours from the following numbers, beginning at 6:00 AM:
216-278-0121, 312-788-9200, 347-415-8943, 407-504-5841, 408-618-5229, 551-200-5545, 618-300-0306, 773-596-1404, 773-945-1696, 773-945-1697, 818-813-7961, 760-284-0200
It took me all day to block all of these because he kept using different numbers. These numbers are all associated to a man with a very heavy Middle Eastern accent. I could not understand a word he said except he was rambling on about a loan and that he needed my account number, and asked me to confirm that I am single. I saved a voice mail message where "Tom Butler from United Financial Services" asked me to call him back at 760-284-0200. I am filing a complaint with every possible agency.
