I received a call from this number--860-257-5801--from a gentleman who identified himself as Don White. He had a thick Indian accent. He was trying to get in touch with a previous co-worker of mine, said he was from the Department of Crime Prevention and my co-worker was the primary suspect in a case file. He was requesting her cell phone number. I did not give it to him. I googled the number, called back and spoke with a gentleman named Sam Bishop (sounded like don white). When I read to him the above notes, he put me on hold for 15 minutes and never returned. This is DEFINITELY a scam!!!!
I recieved a call form this number -860-257-5801 from a man who identified himself as Jason Hunt from the Deptartment of Crime and Investigation. He had a thick accent. He informed me that as of today at 1:30 eastern time he would be filing a suit against me and I would be going to jail. He wanted to give me a chance to hire a lawyer and get bail money cause I was going to need it. I asked him why and he said I owed his complany 700.00 and he was going to get the money one way or the other. I did some searching on my own and found out that this is crap and that no one should believe it. I have filed a complaint with my local police department.
My sister is recieving harrassing phone calls from this number also. She called me, upset because he is telling her she is going to jail if she does not pay him the money he says she owes. He states his name is James, but she can not understand what last name he is using because of his thick, Indian accent. I googled the number also, and found this and a couple other sites with complaints from this number. I also tried to call the number but all I got was a very generic voice mail message. This is a scam and I am glad I looked up this information. DO NOT GIVE these people any information and I would file a report with your local police department if you recieve a call from this number!! She is calling the police, and also informing the man that if he calls again she will report him again to the authorities.
I received 3 voice mail messages from this number(860)257-5801 and the guy's name was Sam. He had a thick Indian accent also and was threatening me that I will be facing legal action if I did not call him back. I do not remember getting involved into something that's illegal or owe anybody from Connecticut so, I am so glad that I googled this number and it turned out to be a scam...I am so relieved, Thanked God. I hope and pray that this person will be caught as soon as possible. It's good that I did not call him back in anyway... now, I have all the reason to ignore his calls. Thank you so much to all the people who came out here and reported and thanks to google!
I received a call this morning at my job frm Steve Black saying the exact same as the previous calls I knew these people were a scam. My call was almost verbatim as the previous comments.
I have been getting phone calls 2 or 3 times a day from 860-257-5801. he calls MY WORK every day. threatens me with jail and legal actions. Thank you for all of your posts.
