these people called my phone 4 times in a row 5 times in one day...when i answered there was a odd speaking man and i told him he had the wrong number and not to call again. they continued to call and when i yelled at him he began speaking a foreign language and i think he was cussing me out. they are nasty and persistent. i blocked them.
I had the same thing happen as "Scammed" did. But they also called my employer. He said I was approved for a loan. After I told him I never applied for a loan. He started talking over me. I got mad and started cussing him out and he hung up on me. My employer said that a "Mike Johnson" had called and said it was important for me to call them. He was of Indian descent, I could tell by his accent. Then I had several calls from "Unknown" numbers and another area code.
Its against the law to ask for money up front on a loan period. The second red flag is asking for a green dot card. Beware though, some of these false "you applied for a loan" become "you took a loan" and now you owe us scams as well..
Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
A federal grand jury charged a California man with 21 counts of fraud Thursday in connection with a massive debt collection scam that was highlighted in an ABC News investigative report in June.
Kirit Patel, 68, of Tracy, faces up to 20 years in prison and from Ahmedabad , Gujarat INDIA if convicted of the charges, which stem from an operation that authorities allege targeted hundreds of thousands of cash-strapped Americans with millions of coercive and threatening phone calls from boiler rooms in India.
Patel has proclaimed his innocence through an attorney, and refused to answer questions when "Nightline" tracked him to his son's home in Texas in June.
