Got a messege(from a middle eastern guy)saying it was a serious matter that need to be solved and that it was very important that I call back. I got almost the exact phone call a couple of months ago saying they were the FBI and that they were going to arrest me if I didn't pay, I guess. And this was the same phone call different number. I'm not and don't you fall for it. IT'S A SCAM!!!

My sister received this same phone call yesterday. She also received the exact phone call a couple of months ago (different number) also saying that they were the FBI and that they we going to arrest her in 30 minutes if she did not pay. They cited her exact address and even had her social. Foriegn accent. They actually used profaine language and called her names when she refused to pay. She contacted the local law enforcement who tried calling the number back and they hung up on them.
It definitely is a SCAM. Hopefully noone out there will actually fall for it! The phone call really scared her at first, but now she is simply aggrevated by it.
US National Bank Scammers Still Extorting Hapless Consumers
"US National Bank" is still at it, calling up people and threatening them with jail time unless they pay up for debts they never took out and USNB doesn't own. Here's K's story of how "Harry Wilson" called him up screaming and yelling. But after speaking to a consumer lawyer, K learned what he needed to say to get the extortionist to stop phone-harassing him. You'll learn too after you read the story inside...
first became aware of this company when my sister called to tell me she had been contacted by "Harry Wilson" from the phone number 951-200-3254. He yelled at her on the phone, demanded that she pay him the money I owed immediately or he would use her Social Security Number to take all the money from her bank account and ruin her credit. He would not tell her what her Social Security Number was when she asked. She hung up on him.
I called and spoke to "Ryan Smith", a man with an extremely heavy Indian accent and was told I was going to jail on Saturday if I did not pay immediately. When I asked for verification of this debt in writing, he told me he was not required to provide that and I would go to jail. He gave me a fax number 914-462-3657 to fax my bank account number, debit card number, social security number and mailing address to so he could get payment.
The loan in question was supposedly taken out on 4/13/2007, a full 7 months before I even opened an account with the bank he claimed the deposit was made to. Then he changed his mind and said the deposit was made on 12/04/2007. I checked my bank account statements and no deposits were made to my account on or near that date.
My sister again received 2 calls yesterday from "Harry Wilson" threatening her with jail time if she didn't make me pay them.
I can deal with the threats to myself, as I am well aware they are bogus, but my young nephew took one of the threatening calls yesterday and was understandably shaken and upset over the incident.
I filed complaints with the FTC and with ic3.gov. I talked to a consumer lawyer to find out my rights in this matter. I was terrified at first, as I'm sure many other victims are, but I knew none of this sounded right. I've not always been the most financially responsible person in the world, but I have always repaid my debts. I took notes on everything this man told me, even making him repeat himself to be sure I had the correct information.
Then the bottom-feeder called me at work yesterday to tell me I was going to jail in an hour if I didn't give him my debit card number immediately. I told him in no uncertain terms that this was a scam and I knew it. I detailed for him every step I had taken and the fact that if his harassment of my family and me continued he would cost his company $1000, which is the amount the lawyer I spoke with told me I would be able to get in judgment against USNB.
He started off trying to talk over me and resorted to yelling at several points, but I continued to speak in a calm, forceful voice and eventually he was silent. I told him one more call to my home, my sister or my place of employment would result in my telling the lawyer the law suit was on. He hung up on me.
My sister spoke with my nephew and explained that there are people out there who steal information they have no right to have and this was a case of that happening. She also told him again that when she is not home he is not to answer the phone unless he knows the person calling (they have caller ID).
I received a call fr0m (904)239-3956 saying that I was enlisted as a suspect in crime case and an order tor my arrest had been delivered. In case I didn't contact him - Sean Anderson - immedeately I would be arrested even if in my house. He called me again the day after saying that I must pay about seven hundred dollars before three o'cklock or my case would be in court and I would be obligated to pay over three thousand dollars to avoid being arrested and stay before bars for a month or so. I told him I had no money whatsoever so, I would not pay anything and he could go right ahead and do whatever he had to do. he asked me for part of the money, suggested that I borrow the money from a friend and finally asked when I woul be getting paid again. He wanted me to affirm that I would pay the total amount on my next payday. The strangest thing of all though, was when he told me that I would have to call him every day until my next payment to remind him not to send my case to court.
I was so nervous that I got a headache in minutes. I said many time that I had no idea of what he was talking about. I started wondering that somebody solled my SS and was using it.
Then it came to my mind to google the number. Thank God!
I got a call at work from (904)239-3956 the man's name was Sean Anderson claiming he was with the dept crime prevention and that there was a warrant for my arrest if I didn't pay 1,200, I told him I didn't have that kind of money so he lowered it too 700, if I paid it today, I delayed the payment till friday and talked to my friend who is a lawyer and he said it was a scam, I called Sean back and gave him a pc of my mind and never to call me @ work again
