I received a telephone message stating I needed to call 774-221-8770 regarding a restraining order about an outstanding debt. I was to respond immediately for a judgement in court or have my lawyer respond in 24 hours. Called the number, put on hold indefinitely, only to find the number is never answered. Googled the number, to find this website stating this number is a scam. What is this? This call came to my mother's phone in a harassing way. I have NEVER used her number in any business dealings so don't know how they got the number. What should I do?
Got the same message as everyone else. I called them back and agreed on a settlement, but I said I would have to call back in an hour with my payment info because I was at work, When I called back it told me the number was disconnected, My settlement offer was only good till end of business day. I tried the number again after 6:30. Number was connected again with a whole different greeting and options, yet when my bf tried to call from his phone he got the out of order recording. Something is BS here!
Also received a call saying I was being served a law suit (V123-2523) and for me to forward the voice mail on to my lawyer and we have 48 hours to call 774-221-8770. This message was left on my home and cell phone numbers. Didn't call back, not sure what they were talking about....must be a prank call...don't know any one in the MA area.
Several months ago, I received this phone call. The unidentified, articulate caller left the message for someone I did not know. My first thought was to call the number back and tell them they had the wrong number. Then I decided that it was not my responsibility to let them know they had the wrong household and I had no responsibility to the person they were calling for. Besides, the caller made it sound like she was from a law enforcement agency and the phone number was not a local number. In my considerable experience, I did not think the police did this type of thing. In short, the call sounded - as someone else put it - like BS. Not too long after the first call, I recieved the same call/message again. Again, I ignored it. Today, I came home to an answering machine with five back-to-back calls - but, no messages - and one w/message. You got it! Only difference is the name they used was not that of a stranger, but of my ex who has not lived here for over ten years. Luckily, I thought to Google the phone number. Isn't technology great !?! Hope this helps someone. PS Never thought I would receive the infamous letter scam where one could make hundreds (for a $30 up-front fee + shipping) by stuffing envelopes at home, but I did last week! Return address in Chicago. Professional envelope; swiss-cheese letter. Yes, it was too funny not to read! The snakes are always out there and - unfortunately - in this economy I believe there are folks who are doing things that they normally would not dream to do. Stay alert, guys!!!
scam no one ever calls on lawsuit you are always served by officer or recieve papers you must sign for I wish this person would get arrested before someone gives him information and they steal their identity or money out of their account
