Called twice and left voice message for me and my wife. Identified himself as Officer Jason Smith and said he had criminal case against us and we needed to return his call. If we did not return his call he will be starting criminal proceedings against us. Thanks to this website we know this is a scam.. Doing our own due diligence to put our information here so that other potential victims such as ourselves can be saved...Thanks for running this invaluable service..
Same crap just happened to me, they called my dad and said I was in a lot of trouble and if a did not call back they would ome get me from home. When I called the supposed Sheriff had an indian accent, when I confronted him about his address he hang up.
Something needs be done about these criminals.
The same "Joan Wright" called and left a message on my voice mail. Wish these crooks knew that I am a law student. However, the FCC does not make reporting this easy - their new website is notoriously difficult. I wish someone at the FCC were looking at this and that they would take action against these cheats. Perhaps, there is potential for a law firm to file a class action suit against these crooks to try and recover money from them, though I am not sure how much they would be able to recover.
Yesterday, I received calls from two people- Ron Davis & Allen Parish, from 215-809-1477 number
saying that he is from the State Investigation Department/ National Bureau of Crime Investigation. He said that I was
under violation and an arrest warrant was ready to be issued on me for three counts of violation- fraud and tax fraud. He said that if I could make the payment, I would be able to avoid the arrest and settle the matter out of court.
I was in a panic and was ready to make the payment. He then guided me on how to make the payment as it was late afternoon and the banks were closed. He asked me to go to a nearest Walmart or CVS and purchase a Green Dot MoneyPak card for $500.00. The he took the card details and put me on hold for the confirmation number. I waited for 30 minutes and then realized that this is some sort of fraud. I even called the number back to check and no one answered. I was now sure that its a spam call and I was a victim.
Today again, Allen Parish called from the same number and asked for another payment of $422.
Causing panic and anxiety in people and threatning them for money is a serious issue. This is harrasment at an extreme level and severe action should be taken against such people.
