Recieved a message while at work that indicated there was a serious legal matter that I needed to address ASAP, they left the # to call back and a contact person named Daryn or Davyn Bans can't really understand them due to the thick middle eastern accent. First I was put on hold only to be entertained by deck the halls, its July. Then a guy picks up and says he is calling from Crime prevention and a case was going to be filed in my name and SS#. Davyn or Daryn is on the phone with an attorney and would give me a call back, please leave my number and name, once again I'm put on hold as I refused to leave any info, and am entertained with a lullaby song WTF, when the caller returned I advised him that the call did not sound legitimate and if this was indeed a legal and urgent matter he could contact me at the original number he dialed I have since received no call backs. He couldn't even get my name right, he called me Michael on 3 occasions during the call and I'm not Michael. I believe this to be a scam.
I got a phone call from a mike Scottasking me about sending money to the department of crime prevention in the amount of 516.00 and then an inpector Patrick threatened me saying if i wouldnt pay this amount that charges would be filed against me for financial fraud. i called the company they were supposed to be collecting the money from and they told me it was a scam.
I just received a call at 4:30 today from what sounded like a Darren Banks (heavy Middle Eastern accent) from "Financial Crimes Division" stating that I owed money on a payday loan from Nov. 2007. He had all my information, including a closed bank account number. He stated that he would download the information to the courts on Monday and that I may be arrested. When I call the number back, I get a message stating that my balance is zero and it hangs up.
I have been called and threatened by these people as well as another company that operates the same way. The 901-328-9338 number is contacted to a "John Powers" with an very heavy accent. I have reported them to the FTC and the Office of Consumer Affairs in my state. Does that mean I don't have to worry anymore about threatening me at work and on my cell phone?
They call multiple times per day and I even got a call this morning at 4:30 am.
