I received a call from this number stating that they were with the federal bureau of investigation; some arabic speaking man answers when you call back....stating need to speak with me asap! They claim it's a Tom Cooper! Claim they will call you back ! They are a scam. I have turned mine over to the police department.
He called me and said all the same things & that he was sending police to come get me. He had my whole social # which realyl freaked me out. This is a scam, right? Ive herad his name before & others of the same ie...tom cooper john cooper, i think its all a scam myself but its scary.
Heavily accented man says that he needs to speak to me concerning a legal matter. Comments included a vague threat of further action, but the details were unintelligible. Says he is Tom Cooper. By his tone of voice he is obviously trying to frighten me...
I have a few words for him, but won't waste my breath or my time.
Received a call Friday 1/4/2013 from a heavily accented man that stated his name was Officer Tom Cooper from the Federal Credit Bureau of investigations. He gave my last four of my SS# and said it was imperative that I contact them immediately to avoid further legal consequences and that if I didn't return his call he would take it as if I were intentionally running from this debt. He said in that case he wouldn't be responsible for any future legal problems I have and that he wished me luck. I have had these same type of calls in the past. I ignore them or tell them to send me proof of any debt they believe I owe in writing. I also tell them to go ahead and take me to court as I would be more than happy to meet them there and have my Attorney file a complaint and have them charged with harassment and possibly even fraud for insinuating that they are some type of police Officer with an office of the Federal government. It really doesn't help to make a formal complaint as these "people" are almost impossible to track. They use a bank of rental numbers that they change every few days.
