This person who claims his name is Jeffery has been constantly calling our business harassing our employees trying to contact a specific employee, we are not allowed to divulge perosnal information and this person/or company is rude and renlentless.
I received two calls from this number at work. The caller said his name was Jackie Johnson and he was clearly not from this country because his accent, which was very thick, sounded like it was from Pakistan or India or somewhere in that region. Asked for me and since he obviously didn't hear me say my name when I answered, I lied and said I wasn't there and took down the number. Not five minutes later he calls again and I again say I am not there and he wanted to know my schedule. When I told him I didn't know, he became rude and said that she (I) work for me and I don't know the schedule and I told him that she doesn't work for me she works for company and we can't give out that information. I am to call him back tomorrow. I don't think so.
Extremely rude and unprofessional we think it's a collection agency. Like throwing racial slurs around. In the background of the phone call there appears to be a large number of people like it's a phone bank. After doing a reverse phone check the number appears to originate out of North Carolina.
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information from unscrupulous websites like the one you may have filled out an application with, and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
ABC News released an investigative report on this scam a year ago:
Caller threatening, rude, demanding to speak to an employee in another location. Will not take no for an answer and repeatedly calls to aggravate the office staff to force our staff into getting the employee in question to come to the phone. Jackie Jackson. Broken English. Very aggressive over several hours. Had to place the phone on DND. Complete A**hole!
This same idiot has called me at my job constantly . My employer answered the call and basically told him to go to hell. This is a scam ,I do not owe them a dime. He is clearly not american, he does sound like he is from the mid-east. I told him to send proof of this so-called bill he refused saying I just owe it so pay it . I am so sick of him and the harassment. Almost foorgot he clamed to be from the FBI and a police officer,LIAR I told him it was against the law to represent himself as part of law enforcement. If any one has a suggestion I would appreciate it!
