I have a message from this number. Says it is the Crime Prevention Bureau. I called it back and reached "Alex" who would say nothing except that he worked for the Crime Prevention Bureau. I said "Give me a break" and hung up. Some sort of scamming. They then called back a couple times more but our receptionist hung up on them.
caller ID said UNKNOWN so I didnt answer it, left me voicemail, thick indian accent saying something about an important matter and that I needed to call him back at 862-377-6666!!! Whatever, these people are scam artist!! Do not do anything they tell you to!!!! All they do is Harass you!! Becareful to whom you give your information out to! This guys name is ALEX!!!
Guy with a very thick indian accent, named Tom Brown (yeah right!!!) called four times within a 2 hour time frame and left 2 messages stating that my name and phone number has been attatched to some very big legal issues and that it is very important I call him back immediately. I am pretty sure this is some sort of scam.

Better Business Bureau has issued a national alert about phony debt collectors that are calling consumers nationwide and claiming that they have defaulted on a payday loan and will be arrested if they don’t pay immediately.
Claiming to be lawyers, the scammers say they are with the “Financial Accountability Association” or the “Federal Legislation of Unsecured Loans” and often have the victim’s Social Security, old bank account numbers or driver’s license numbers as well as home addresses, employer information and even the names of personal friends and professional references.
Phone numbers that the scammers are calling from include: 949-468-5107, 415-200-0274, 213-784-5745, 408-715-1614 and many others.

My fiance received a message from a man named "Jason" on his cell phone. The message was for me and Jason did not say what company he was with, but stated that my name came up as 'a reference on a major legal document" and if I did not call him back at 862-377-6666, "things would not be good for me". When I finally reached him, he said we was with the Dept of Crime Prevention, and asked if I knew a certain woman (my fiance's mother). I said yes and he told me I better tell her to call him asap because she was a suspect in a crime and in a major legal mess. Jason also called my future mother-in-law on her cell and at her place of employment. He claims she owed money on a loan. This is a huge scam! Beware!
