Someone called with Indian like accent at my work phone number 847 375 8700 from 847 631 1310 and also from 847 631 4977 and asked Val Barsky?
I answered Yes and they hang up
I got a call from 847-631-4977. They didn't ask for me by name but stated that I owe money from a payday loan. When I advised I had never taken out a payday loan. They told me that my friend Jessica (no last name) took out the loan and now I am responsible for repayment, as she cannot pay.
I have no friend Jessica, I informed this person and hung up. They called me back and told me they were from the Federal Tax Police and that I would be arrested.
I just hung up and asked that the number be blocked from the switch. I don't know if its a scam or someone playing practical jokes.
Posed as the R party calliing from Wash DC.
When I asked why caller Id said Elk Grove PD they couldn't answer
and changed the subject looking to send me something that I could send in (no cc info needed per them) .
Didn't give any info-be alert to fraud.
