got the call , number comes up on phone as 911
threatening with going to police if we didn't pay the $3500
wanted wire transfer
said to call back 814-289-8206
My husband and I were scammed by this number. First a Daniel King called and said that we owed a payday loan for $420 but if we pay $300 on a greendot card and called the information back into him that would take care of it and we wouldn't need to go to court. Did that and then received a call back saying that their lawyer was rejecting the payment because we owed more loans. I asked for the companies we owed and they said it was to late and now we owe $4500. I said we don't have that kind of money and he said that he would have his head lawyer Robert James call me to discuss this. He then called me and I again asked what companies that we owe. He argued with me for over ten minutes and than said that we have no intention of paying for this and he was going to have my husband arrested. I then received a call on my cell phone with the caller id showing 911. I thought it was legit and got really scared. The so called police office named Deputy Sinclair said that I needed to call the lawyer back and pay it because he was 10 blocks away and was tracing my call. I then talked to the lawyer and since I was stupid and believed the deputy my husband payed what the lawyer told us to pay. That was on a Friday and then on the following Tuesday. agained I got a call from the 911 officer asking where my husband was and where I was. He told me again I needed to call the lawyer. Then Daniel King called me and said that we owed an additional $3000 or if it goes to court it would cost us over $27000. I told him to talk to my husband. My daughter than called our local police department and they said that no law inforcement could arrest you for not paying a payday loan. Then the calls kept coming. Even one time my cell caller id said it was my husband was calling and when I answered it the person on the line said it was the deputy. I then started telling them that I was already reporting them to the FBI, FTC, and the Attorney Generals Office. I haven't got a call yet since I told them that yesterday. Please listen to me and don't be as stupid as I was. They will try anything including scarring you so they get your money. I am not out of my husbands money that we were trying to save up so that we could take our kids on a vacation this summer.
Sorry to hear you got scammed.. Please nexxt time you get a call like this please try to check it out. I know it can be scarey to hear them with their threats. Just remember they prey on FEAR and that is how they got you to pay. We need to be proactive and try to prevent anyone else from getting scammed out of even a penny. They are ruthless if you show fear.. take a breath and fight back. Ask questions. Even if it is a legit agency/collector. The legit ones will give you the correct answers and will not prey on you.
I just got a call from a David William w/ Baker & Mackenzie stating there's a lawsuit against me. I refused to agree if the information (social, etc.) he had on me was accurate or not, then I hung up on him. I told him if it was important to mail me a letter. What scammers!!!
