Harassing phone calls from a person with an East Indian accent who says he's from "Law Enforcement," that I'm in "big trouble" and that this is a "very serious matter." He the threatens a lawsuit, and damages against my Social Security #. He has called numerous times in the past year, and 3 times today, 2/26/2010. Once I answered the phone and when he asked for my Social Security #, I said I don't give that information out over the phone. I no longer answer the phone and so now he leaves me these threatening phone messages. I've had enough, and tomorrow I'm calling AT&T to see what they can do about this.
I've had this happen to me too. When you call cell phone company they will first ask you if you want to change your phone number. Also there is a way that they trace the number even if comes blocked, and someone from the phone company will call them. They will ask to stop calling you. I also found out that is it illegal for them to call you on cell phone or at work. I actually found from a consumer advocacy group that you can be compensated 1,000 dollars for them calling you.
I just heard this message on my voicemail at my work place...A guy with a heavy Indian accent threating that he knows my ss# and where I live...and that I better not ignore him or he'll be forced to come look for me...uugghhh!!!!
Don't be frightened. I have been receiving these frightening, intimidating and harassing phone calls with taped messages up to 3 times a day for over 2 weeks now from a male with a sometimes difficult to understand East Indian accent claiming to be from "law enforcement" (but he doesn't say 'which' law enforcement) who says I owe "a lot of money" and that I'm "in big, serious trouble" (but he won't say what it's about) and that I "must call him immediately" or suffer the consequences. He calls me every day at work and is threatening to call my employer, get a hold of my social security # and file a lawsuit against my social security # (he has even called a friend and business reference of mine and left the same frightening taped messages on his phone). He has called from 2 different numbers that show up on my phone as: +05-279-7815 and Unknown, but he wants me to call him at: 772-257-4977. The last 2 days I received calls from 2 similar men, an "Officer Enuet" and another (whose name I can't understand nor his phone # where he wants me to call him) who are claiming to be Officers of the "Law Investigation Department" and saying that they are calling about some kind of "Finance Company" that I know nothing about, and that I must respond to "immediately" because I "don't really know what's going on and what's going to happen to me next." I have absolutely NO idea what this is about and have no intention whatsoever of calling them back. They are, indeed, absolutely frightening!!! But that's what they're trying to do... frighten and intimidate people.
Whoever they are, they are obviously very scary and not above-board, and are trying to use Mafia-like practices to achieve some unlawful ends for which I am totally unaware. I'm not a lawyer, but this all sounds very illegal to me, and I have saved a number of these taped messages on my cell phone. I have filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, and so should you. File a complaint also through your phone company. Even if they can't do anything about it, you'll have a record of it; and be willing to press charges. But whatever messages they leave on my phone, I'm certainly not going to let them get away with frightening and intimidating me, and you shouldn't either.
