Called me on my cell looking for an acquaintance suggesting he is being investigated for "questionable internet activity". Obviously bogus. I suggest not giving them any info when they call and making it clear to them in no uncertain terms thay are not to call again.
Left a threatening message on our answering machine suggesting my husband is being investigated for "questionable internet activity". Left a name and phone number with extension to return call. Suggested strongly that my husband or his "legal representation" return the call by the end of business today. Also listed our address but not our current address. Gave the company name Global Assets. A Google search shows multiple listings for Global Assets as equity firms, etc... Nothing to do with internet fraud. I have 5 messages from this company, two different callers, several different spoof numbers left saved. My husband is not guilty of internet fraud. I have filed complaints with both the FTC and my State Attorney General's office, but this is a new number they're using for their threats. One threat actually listed property owned by us years ago and threatened to seize it. All illegal of course. They've also called multiple family members looking for "their brother" or "their son". My husband has no brothers, obviously they need to spend more than $5.95 on their people searches to update their information. Would LOVE to receive a validation letter suggesting what my husband actually is accused of so we can take it to court.

Unfortunately, I was recently scammed by Global Asset. A woman called me telling me she was going to serve me some "legal papers" by the end of the day. She suggested I contact her "client" and that maybe they would work out something to avoid a court hearing. She gave me a phone number that connected me with a Robert Randolph who claimed to be from the pre-legal department of some firm. He had my social security number, and then transferred me to a "Mr. Matthews" to make payment arrangements for a Bad Check Claim, and questionable illegal activity on the internet. He asked if a had requested a pay-day loan from Payday-Loan.com, and I had...about 4 years ago. He also said they were unable to deliver the "legal papers" to my home address (haven't lived at that address for 3 years), to my employer (have been on SSDI for the past 8 years), and that they had not been able to contact my references (thankfully). I was stupid enough to provide the routing and account numbers for my account, and agreed to make 2 payments to cover the amount of the original loan. They did withdraw the first payment, so I'm sure they will withdraw the second payment...but now, I'm very concerned that since I was dumb enough to provide my banking information, that they may not stop making withdrawals after the first 2. I received another call from a Mr. Alan Wyman from the offices of Wyman and Foster, basically trying the exact same scam. Legal packet of paper delivery...wanting to discuss the hearing dates and times....etc. Googled the phone number he left on my voice mail and discovered there were many online statements from people who received the same call, and same BS. I am going to contact all the legal agencies (Atty General, FTC, FBI, & whomever else may be able to follow up on Global Asset and put them out of business. They will probably just change the names and phone numbers, but I will do whatever it takes to stop any further ACH payments. Don't be as ignorant, or as stupid as I was. Do not call them back..call the proper authorities instead.
