My mother received a phone call from this person Abigale Lancaster,asking about information regarding me and if I don't contact her office within 24hrs a warrant will be issued for my arrest. This is "supposed" to be over a "fraudulent check" written over 6 yrs over to Pepboys. This is BS..first, if its a fraudulent check, the FBI, or lower judicial department will handle the matter...not an investigation service located outside of the city you live. I traced the information and found, this call originated from Connecticut, with more searching this lead me to another office located in Ohio. If the Police needs to find you all they have to do is look into the national database...not call your family. If you receive a call from this person/Business beware and don't give any information, for you may compromise yourself in the future. I have a friend that is a Police Officer, she said, if the police want to find you, its easy..its not like tv. Punch your name into the police database.
After the 24 hrs expired, I had a friend call back to get more information and instead of receiving a"warrant for my arrest" the lady supposedly talked to a Prosecutor and let the matter go for another 24hrs.."BS" Be careful as to who gets your information!
Thank you so much for posting this--this scam makes me sick because I think of all the elderly people who are susceptible to this ploy. This needs to get out to a larger audience that : that is a scam.
I too received a call from Abigail Lancaster today. Her message was for both my husband and myself, by name, and was looking for information on my sister-in-law. She also said we needed to call back within 24 hours to give information about "the accused."
I received a call from my ex husband and my father this morning. One said Abigail Lancaster, the other said Quanda Brand called. Both are "investigators" looking for me for check fraud. The scary part is they referred to me by my prior married name, of which I haven't used in 6 years! I did call the number and left a message on their voice mail to return my call. Then I googled this number and found all these reports. I can't understand why people feel the need to violate others. Now I have to go through the trouble to contact my relatives and make them aware of this. Thanks to all who posted.
