I got a very disturbing phone call by this phone # claiming that I took out a personal loan back in 2013 for $1100. (I've never taken out a personal loan). They asked my to verify my last 4 digits of my SSN and my address (They had the incorrect address which they asked to update their records and I refused.) they asked to verify my last name. (Which changed because I got married) and my email address was partially incorrect. I replied that I would not verify information until they told me who THEY were. Finally they disclosed that they were Johnson & Johnson a firm that assisting with a courtesy call to let me know that criminal charges have been field against me. And that notices were sent to the address they had in file and that they could not mail anything else out to me after 3 attempts. I asked how am o supposed to resolve this if I don't have something in writing? The caller replied that it could be resolved by me paying 50 cents on the dollar for what I supposedly owed. I said I am absolutely not payoff cent for something I NEVER borrowed! The caller them advised that she will close the case and that I need to get a criminal attorney because there will be a warrant for my arrest. And hung up! SHE WAS SO NASTY, RUDE, AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I called my husband so upset. And decided to look up this phone number. I came across these posts. It's most DEFINITELY a scam.
Sounds as though this poster also works for these scums. Look at the misspelled words, this reminds me of the way these scum suckers talk, a.k.a. [***] Indians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They called 17 times stating I was in debit to these people and was going to be sued. When I called the office manager Jennifer was sooooooo mean to me!!! No one has ever spoken to me like this before. She hung up on me 3 times!!! I take this very serious when someone calls me leaving these kind of messages. Contacting an Attorney
Save yourself some time and possibly money by shutting down the answering machine and letting the phone ring, or try blocking the number. No answer of any kind, probably won't hear from them much more much less any repulsive, bogus threats. Draw blanks on your number, they give up after a while. Do not return calls to mystery numbers and pay attention to threats left by phone. Refer to Alfalfa's post.
Call this am on my answering machine. Said were calling " in reference to a very serious legal matter regarding with your name and SSN. This is an important and time-sensitive matter requiring your immediate attention". Needed to call 910-444-1319. Unknown name was on Caller ID. Will block, but sure hate these calls that everyone appears to be burdened with the last few years. Almost makes you want to move way out in the country with no phones, computers, or any kind of communication devices, but that would only be hurting you, not them.
Received a call from: UNBOUND 25850 ... phone # 910-444-1349. It was a pre-recorded sounding message saying in mid sentence ..." ... concerning your name and SS number. Urgency blaablaablaa and callback to talk to case worker.
I called back & lady wanted my name and birthdate. I gave her my 1st name, and month & year, not the exact birthdate. She became irritated, saying this was a LEGAL matter, the FDA required her to ask (so not to talk to a nosy sister, etc) ... I still refused to give any personal info & told her I did not have any LEGAL matters.. She said my case workers name was REbecca Stone, and put me on hold - which disconnected. She did NOT call back .... Imagine that!
I do not believe this was a legit call by a long shot!
