I received a call at work stating I was being sued and what was my attorneys name. I told him to call me on my cell#. When I asked what this was about he put his boss on the phone. He told me I was going to be arrested tomorrow at 11am and my employer would know about my activity. I started laughing because I really had no idea what the [***] was talking about. My husband called the # back and he tld my husband that I needed to pack my bags for jail on Friday.
Received 7 calls within 5 minutes from 785-371-4475, 2 on my cell phone and 5 on my work phone. Left a message every time stating that they need me or my attorney at hand to call them back as soon as I receive this message if i do not return the call all they can do is wish me good luck as the stituation unfolds. Person had a very heavy Indian accent and claimed to be Justin Smith. These calls come around every few months stating the same thing...blah blah blah If you call back they try to tell you that you owe money, but they cannot provide any information and the information they do provide is bogus. If you have ever applied for a payday loan, filled out an application online regardina a payday loan, even if you never took the loan, they get your information and harrass you non stop with these scam calls. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!
Did me the same way. They wouldn't give me any information. Same guy Justin Smith with heavy Indian accent. Said the police will be at my home by morning.
SCAM SCAM SCAM !! .
They keep calling - saying I"m going to be arrested - saying they've got a lawsuit and case regarding my social security number and they give the last 4 numbers of my social. They say their from Lori and Maxwell legal associates. They demand my lawyers information. I told them that I had a lawyer and he demands their info.. (we went back and forth for about 10 minutes! :) I had fun )
but - do NOT call them back - I hear (googled) that they've pirated a U.S. # and if you call them back - you'll be charged per minute. I"ve also heard that some people have been dupped into paying $ immediately in order to get out of being arrested.. (can't believe someone fell for it- scarey).
I've played a bit with them this morning and had fun - i keep asking them to give me THEIR lawyers info - he gets flustered and keeps saying he doesn't have to give it - and that I do.. I said I can't understand his accent - please spell (everything).. too funny.. ..
I played a bit with them this morning because they called over and over. (they called over and over last night too and I got them so flustered they kept pushing the keys and beeping beeping beeping - then they hung up)
The last time - he got someone else on the phone - saying he was the legal supervisor. I asked him to give me his phone number - when he did - I said "hmmm that's weird - because when I put that number in google - it comes up as a scam".. he started pushing the keys and hung up.
in addition - I forgot to say:
The original Indian male on the phone - said his name was Brandon with Lowry (lori) and Maxwell Legal
The "supervisor" that called me back - said he was James Washington.
When I walked in to my job this afternoon, Lo and behold I found a sticky note with my name asking me to call a Justin Smith on 785 371 4475, I called and some guy claiming to be Justin Smith with an Indian accent so heavy, I could barely understand what he was saying, he went on babbling something about me being arrested and about some pay day loan... I busted out laughing, he got pissed and demanded me to have my attorney call him, and hung up. I called back and he told me not to call back, I called again, them he asked me if I wanted him to use profanity on me, I told him I would call the FBI and give them his name and number, he hung up. I called again for the 4th time, now the line is busy.... It's all a scam... lol. Just Mention the word FBI or some law enforcement above the police see how fast they leave you alone!!! Been calling back for over and hour to have some more fun with them, still getting a line busy signal! Lol.
