Heavy accented individual going by the name Mr. Martin called and stated a criminal case with the US National Bank had been filed and to Money Gram 1,154.20 from Walmart. would not give any other details-refused to give his correct spelling of name, total debt amount, company that debt was from. Stated he did not have to give that info. Then threatened my husband with arrest tommorrow. Also refused to give out case # or attorney name. We offered to have our attorney call his attorney and were hung up on. My husband was then verbally abused and called dumb, stupid, and ingnorant. We traced this person and number and found a connection between another harrassing number 1-214- 245-1402 and other names-Hadley Brown, Celine Jones, & Frank Miller.
I am a police officer in Indiana and had a subject file a similar complaint on 05-22-2008. All the info was same, but Mr. Martin now claimed to be with United Legal County Department. Do not send this person any money! You are not in any trouble!
Recieved the same type of phone call, stating he was from US National Bank
He had a very heavy Indian type accent. He also stated money was needed to avoid being arrested for an outstanding payday loan. He said the money had to be paid by 3:00 that afternoon or you would be arrested. Would not give any details and was verbally abusive. He called himself Jimmie Cliff, Hadley Brown and Tom Collin. Also calls from 1-214-245-0943.
I am an IN resident and have received the same threat today from a Mr. Martin, the very same scenario as the others- am scared to death- what are the laws on this or how do I know what is legitimate or not? Who should I report this to as I'm supposed to be clearing this up by tomorrow?????
I've not gotten calls from this guy, but just wanted to let you guys know that anyone anywhere can find whatever they want to about you, and most times it doesn't cost a thing. Other times they may have to pay like a yearly fee, but that covers EVERYTHING about ANYBODY. Just please be careful. Don't give any info out to anyone, especially if they aren't telling you anything. You should always keep a current copy of your credit report, so that you know what is going on. And keep all your personal documents in a safety deposit box. Hope this helps :).
