I just got a call from Officer John Peterson.  He had my full SSN, DL # and address.  Stated he was with the Washington police dept and I was being sued.  I told him I was not the person he was looking for over and over and he told me to F*** off.

THIS OFFICER JOHN PETERSON CALLED MY CELL PHONE THIS MORNING LEAVING A MESSAGE ABOUT MY BF STATING THAT HE WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FRAUD. AND THAT IF HE DID NOT CONTACT THEM IMMEDIATELY HE WOULD BE GOING TO JAIL. THIS IS A JOKE AND THESE PEOPLE NEED TO FIND OTHER WAYS TO MAKE SOME MONEY BUT GETTING IT OFF THE PEOPLE OF THE USA IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.

This is a scam.  People please don't send any money.  I've been down this road with the same guy before.  He tried to tell me I had take a loan out from some company, and never paid it back.  What they try to do is scare you to the point that you just want to pay whatever money it is, and they will get your money that way.  When I checked in to the so called place they said I borrowed from, that place didn't even give loans to my state!  They had no record of me on any of thier accounts.  So this guy was a scammer.  Please don't give them any money!  I had a call again today from this same number, on the caller ID it showed up 052-797-982.  And I was told to return his call too 206-801-5295.  The guys name was Max Green.  And it was the same voice that had called me the last time.  The first time they called they had me scared because they said if I didn't pay this money by 2:30 that afternoon, they would show up at my work to arrest me.  Fortunately, where I was working had a security officer who was also a cop, and told me that they can not arrest you without first taking it to court.  Then of course, if you do not show up in court, yes they can arrest you.  This is a scam.  In all honesty, if you do not know a number that is calling you, or it does not even have enough digits to be a number, don't answer.  If they continue to call, answer and tell them you know this is a scam and will not fall for anything.  Ask them if you can record the conversation too (even if you aren't going too).  This scares them to the point they know they will get in trouble.  Eventually after you harassing them, they will stop.  Tell them you have local police listening to your call and that you are going to sue them for harassment.  They will stop.  I don't answer anymore when they call.  Don't let it get to you.  Just remember the economy sucks right now, and people are trying to come up with stupid ways to get money.  If this guy tries to tell you that are from some company that you took a loan from, or whatever, tell him to spell the name of the company, and then hang up.  Call that company and see if you even have a record with them, and most likely....  you won't!  They get your numbers from different websites that they hack into.  Be careful who and what you give your social security numbers too.  Thats how this all gets started.  Hope everyone has a nice day, and that these morons leave you alone soon!

Caller ID'd self as "officer" Tom or John Peterson, something about social security, fraud etc. as others have descibed.

"Officer" Tom Peterson called again.  Asked him for name of his dept., Mumbled about fraud and no answer to dept. and address request.  Asked to record the call as the FBI would really like to talk with him/them.  "Officer Tom" then told me to #$@! off and disconnected the call. Nice

I just a call today telling me it officer whoever didnt understand him. He keeps calling and threatning me. I dont know who he is or what is about

Received a call from Officer John Peterson from the Financial Crime Investigation Dept who said I was being sued for not paying back and internet payday loan. I have had one of these loans but not with the company they said was suing me. I called the people I deal with and they said this was a fraudulent company and not to give them any information. But they already new the last 4 digits of my SSN, my bank name, where I worked and said they would call my manager. Also said something about selling off my personal property. Most of the converation I could not understand. I swear the same guy that answered the phone and said "can I help you" also answered and said he was Peterson. It was a very scary phone call and I don't scare easy. I do want to report this to someone but I'm not sure who.

I received a call from an "Officer David Nelson" with an arab-sounding accent claiming that they are from Financial Crime and Investigation and that I needed to call them back as soon as possible, if not he basically told me good luck...totally suspicious...fraud!!!

Got a message today from Friday on my work phone from an "Officer" Kevin Smith.  He states that he has turned over my Social Security Number to the authorities for further action.  First of all he could not even get my last name right.  Very HEAVY Indian Accent.  Left his number and told me to call back.  I called back and asked to speak with him.  Another man with a heavy Indian accent said he was in a meeting and he would call me back in 60 minutes.  WTH?  I said you cant tell me what this is in regards too?  There was a lot of chatter in the background.  The man said I am just the receptionist.  This is all crazy.  I am following up with my Uncle that is an Investigator with the local PD.

The number came across my caller ID as "Restricted" and the name they used on me was Officer Dale Daniel. From the background noise, I am certain he was calling fom a call center. If the call back number left on my voice mail was an 800 number, I would have thought "Officer Daniel" was in Bombay.

Same incident occured with us this morning same man he called all 3 of my cell numbers. They will not answer any questions we ask and they claim i owe them money, and they are officers, I just hope they know it is illegal in the US to represent yourself as an officer of the law when you aren't, any more information, would be greatly appreciated. They cursed my husband out because he would not let them talk to me. the call back number they left was 2068015295.

They just started calling me today.  The guy had an AMERICAN name with an Iranian accent.  Said he was with the "Federal Crime Investigation" (whoever that is).  He knew all of my personal info and that's been the scariest part of it all.  But my question is: Has anyone had them actually ruin their credit, take their money, etc.? I guess I'm trying to figure out what to expect next...more calls (do they every stop), ruined credit, what?!

I checked my credit report and nothing has happened.  I also got credit protection so they could not run my credit without me getting notified first.  I also called my bank and notified them and they have alerts all over my account.  It sucks that he has your personal info but I made sure they could not access my credit report or bank account.  You may want to do the same.

I  ALSO  RECIEVED  A  CALL  FROM  JON  PETERSON  AT  MY  JOB  TO  MY  BOSS  AND  THAT  SAME  NUMBER  052-797-982  AND  TOLD  MY  BOSS  TO  GIVE  THEM  A  CALL  AND  WHEN  I  CALLED  IT  WAS  NO  ANSWER

I got a call at my work from this officer mike walker. he told me that i owed his business $672 and if i didn't pay it i would go to jail. he kept on calling my work and my cell phone number to the point that he would be the only one that would be able to call my work no one else would be able to call. there were times that he would call my work and talk to me and then hang up and call my cell phone and i wouldn't answer it because i can't answer my phone at work and leave a message telling me that i had to call him back. there was a time that my manager talked to him on the phone and out and out told her that he didn't want my money anymore he wasnted me to get fired from my job.

I GOT THE SAME EXACT NUMBER WITH AN EXTRA 9. A guy claiming to be the name of officer john peterson left a message saying something about social security fraud and say that if I don't call him back that they are going to send an officer to arrest me. ITS SCARYING THE S**T OUT OF ME who is this guy!! 20680115299 officer john peterson

Just as everyone else on here!  Claims he is Mike Walker and if I don't pay I will go have to go to court.

File a report with the Federal Trade Commission!  Get this guy to stop!

Yeah that same number called me asking for my brother at first his name was Chris Howard from the Federal Crime Bureau? then when my brother called back his name was "John Brown" how stupid and so my brother decides to hang up and call them back to see if it's a scam so he asks if John brown was there and the guy with the Arab accent says he's on break then he ask if Joe brown was there and once again he says he's on break then he ask if "Chi we we" was there and he says he's on break lol some people are so stupid.

Got a call at work this morning from "Grant Hicks".  He left a threatening voicemail about how I will have to deal with legal matters "on my doorstep" if I do not call him back. Sounds very shady.  Anyone out there please let me know if you have any luck getting this guy off your back.

I dont know who this is- the only "english sounding" part of the messages is the phone number. He claims to be Officer John Peterson and that I will suffer the consequences at home or at my place of work if I do not call him back. I tried calling the number to see if there was a greeting that would tell me who it was, but this scary guy answers and says "what can I do for you".. really creepy! I looked up the number in reverse number directory and found it to be an unlisted number in Seattle, WA. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Just received the same call.  Called four times in a row then finally left a message threatening to have me arrested and if I didn't call back immediately he would call my employer and relatives and tell them I was about to be arrested b/c he said I owed money.  Identified himself as Mike Walker.  When I called back he answered w/ his very thick indian accent "what do you want" and to which I responded that I was recording the call so I could take it to the local authorities because he was a scam artist and they would catch him.  Then...wow, what a surprise, he hung up.  Filed a complaint with the FTC...we need to catch these bastards who prey on the innocent.  I'm tired of it.

Just got a call from "Officer Jack Walker". He stated that federal charges were being brought against me for check fraud and a bunch of other things that I could not understand. He then told me that I had the option before it went to court to pay off the debt. I explained to him that if charges had already been filed that that is not how it worked and that I need to get a lawyer and have my lawyer contact them. He then yelled at me that I better get a good lawyer then hung up on me.

So I received a call from the same gentleman, Jack Anderson. He said he was an "officer" and my file had come across his desk and he had filed it with my state  blah blah. He said it was regarding an internet loan from 2008. Yeah, never had one. When I started to question him he hung up.

I got the same call at my office, officer "Walker" left a voice message stating that I would be arrested if I did not contact his office right away.  He had a very heavy indian accent, I could barely understand his message.  He had no idea who he was asking for because he kept referring to me as "he" and kept advising whoever was listening to the message to advise me that I was in legal trouble.  Left a return number of 206-801-5295.

I just got a call from that number too His name was Mike Walker and the message he left me was that i needed to call him back before legal actions were taken and i will regret it.

Omygosh, i just got the same message this morning (as did my dad---about Me, and my best friend)- i called this guy back, he said i owed money, and that 3 federal charges, were against me, he read it from an affidavit(sp), and i was not to interrupt him- he said i owed 1095 bucks, and if i didnt pay it today, i would go to jail and they would take my children from me, he was the meanest person ever----yelling at me (i could hear a bunch of other people yelling in the background)- i called 911 and filed a police report, b/c they said someone would be by to get me. seriously- what is wrong with these people!?!?!?!?!??!

and his name was officer john peterson

Received a total of 4 calls today on home and cell number from an "officer Kavins Smith" said he was with the federal beurea of fraud investigations and that id we didnt call back within 48 hrs he would download our social sec number into the stae dept of fraud bureas and we would be arrested, if we called back they wold work w/ us on a "internet payday loan " First, we have NEVER taken an internet payday loan when we called back and asked them to provide us w/ written documentation to prove when and where we got a laon from the "officer" then decided to curse yell and threaten us w/ bodily harm and jail. We informed him the call was being monitored by the authorities and it is illegal to state you are an officer of law, he didnt know what to say so we continues to "brow beat" him, ended the call w/ the us govt does not take kindly to people associated w/ Al Quida..he hung up on us.
