*****THIS IS A SCAM....FIRST OFF THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS....ALSO NEVER EVER VERIFY ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THE WORD YES...ALWAYS SAY I AM NOT COMFORTABLE VERIFYING ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE. NEXT....THIS IS A GROUP THAT IS BASED OUT OF AFRICA, INDIA, THAILAND ETC....THEY GET A US NUMBER THAT WAY IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY ARE IN THE USA WHEN THEY ARE NOT. THEY TRIED TO PULL THIS WITH ME LAST SUMMER.....AND FILED POLICE REPORTS, AND THE NY STATE POLICE CALLED AND THOSE SCAM ARTIST WERE TOLD TO CEASE AND DESIST ..... THEY PREY OFF VULNERABLE PEOPLE AND TRY TO SCARE THEM.....IF ANYONE WAS GOING TO TAKE YOU TO COURT YOU WOULD BE SERVED WITH A SUBPOENA FROM THE COURT.....SO IF YOU GET ANYMORE CALLS, TELL THEM TO CEASE AND DESIST THEN HANG UP. THE NUMBER IS ONLY VALID FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN THEY CHANGE IT.
I received a phone call from a gentleman around 1:45 pm a t my place of work with an extremely thick accent. He started talking and I told him he needed to talk clearer. He said that he was from some payday loan place, that I obtained a loan from. Which I didn't. I kept telling him I couldn't understand him and I know he was a scam artist, and aske if his name was George Lester, another phone call I received about the same thing. I asked him what his name was again and he said something Lopez, when asked what was this about, he hung up...
I have recv'd 2 of these phone calls at my place of employment. The first man said his name was Roy King, and the 2nd called himself Tom Wilson. They both said almost the exact same thing, word for word, as if they were reading from a script. Both had very heavy foreign accents, and they told me not to interrupt them while they were reading the supposed affidavit. They both knew a large amount of my personal information, including my SSN #. They told me that a company called Instacash.com was filing criminal charges against me in the amount of $ 5484.00 for a loan I obtained, and then when they tried to take payment for the loan from my bank, it was reported to the company that I had insufficient funds in my bank account. They said they had notified my employer that I committed fraud, and within the next 2 days, the authorities would be coming to my job to arrest me. These men said that I had 2 options. To settle out of court and send payment within the next 1 hr, or I could allow myself to b arrested. I told them that none of the above was true, and I had never obtained a loan for that amount. I have the bank records to prove it. I also informed these men that I live in the state of MA, and everything here is done by certified letter, and since this is the first I heard of this, I thought it to be complete bull. I told these men that absolutely no one would be coming to my work to arrest me, and Mr Roy King said " I assure you miss, I can do anything I want, and I will send the authorities". At this point, I told him to take it up with my lawyer, and I hung up. I then actually called my lawyer to see what I can do to protect myself. I was pretty freaked out at first, but now I'm just pissed about it ! To anyone else out there that this happens to, make sure you DO NOT give these men any money !!!!! I've filed a complaint with the FTC, put out a fraud alert with all 3 credit bureaus, and called my bank. Best of luck to you all ...............
I have not talked to the individual because i do not recongnize this # however they have left several voicemails telling me that they will be filling a law suite against my name and SS# security #. The gentelman has a very heave accent and the calls seem very threatining telling me that I have no idea what is going to happen to me if I don't call him back.
