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?
I to got this call today from this number. they left a mesage on my cell stating there was a restraining order and I was involved in a civil suit and have to give my attoreny this information. they gave the number as H56E-1444. this is crazy, don't people have better things to do?
I doi't have time to waste but just know this is a big B.S. scam and don't spend another moment worryuig about the A. Holes on the other end. I just wish some authority would shut them down.
Call came in a automated voice and left a message on my answering machine. Claimed there was an action against me which included a restraining order and that I must appear in court. Thankfully this forum was available and came up when I Googled the number and showed many others having recieved similar harrassing and fraudulent calls. Call such as this that make threats are, in my belief, illegal. So I made a copy of the message and forwarded it to the Attourny General's office. I suggest that everyone do the same since only a critical mass of complaints to authorities seem to cause an investigation to be launched. I do speculate that this number is either a Vonage, or other VOIP phone, being used in a foriegn country or that the number showing on your caller id is being spoofed to make it appear that the call is originating from within the USA.
Received a call stating that there was a legal action pending against myself.
I'm a pretty straight forward person that has lived life on the straight and straight and knew
there were NO actions pending.
Don't know why these people and companies do this but it is quite aggravating to say the least.
I wish there was a way to take court action against such companies.
I really don't nor want these surprises or headaches.
If any one out there know something that can be done. Let everyone know what action needs to be taken.
Thanks
