Caller was not clear, noting that someone gave my name and cell phone number as a referrence. Caller (i.e.: James Carter) was not clear and confusing when he asked that I give him my cell number or the number that I was calling from.

Heh. Wacky bedoins.

These people are the worse of the worst! The American people should not have to be subjected to this from this type of scrum.

These scabs are preying on those with lower credit scores! Where are they getting this information!

The name given to me was John Nolan - let's all laugh at them!

These people are scum! They called my work, my son, my ex-wife! - I owe nothing - I have reported them to my State's Attorney general and the FBI - please anyone hearing from these scabs should do the same. They are preying on the US because we are in the times we are in - fight - do not let this happen.

I received a call from this number that I didn't answer.  On listening to the message, there was some comment about a legal department.  Because the number was unknown to me, I deleted the message.  On arriving at my office, I found a message from this same fraudster, Shawn or Sean or John. I called the FBI and their position that until I know more they won't do a thing.

Called and threatened me with legal action if I did not have a friend of mine, who I have not seen in years, call them.  Said I was legally responsible.

I called back, Mark Nolan was the name they used this time, and was hung up upon several times.  They refused to give their companies name nor their mailing address.  I was told the only way to avoid thousands of calls from them was to change my phone number.

I called the FTC and filed a complaint.  You all should too.  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel19.shtm

Hi xray_vicki,
I was just wondering because I've just received this phone call today and just felt in my stomach that this was a scam -- is there anything your bank can do to keep them from "hacking" into your account?

Today my parents received an urgent phone call from the "legal dept" stating that I was involved in criminal activity, and a lawsuit would be filed immediately, and that my parents would also be involved since they were listed as referances.  I called the number they left my parents.  The person I talked to claimed to be a lawyer.  I began asking questions about what the phone call was concerning.  They demanded money immediately or a lawsuit would be filed Monday morning.  They would not answer questions re: what company they represented, I was having trouble understanding the person, so another "lawyer" began talking on the phone.  I soon found out that this was a scam because the 2nd person, kept asking me "what my problem was", told me several times to "quit wasting his time", and the best part is he told me 3 times to go   f  myself.  I called my bank and informed them that someone was trying to get my financial records, and they felt that this was a scam.  A few hours later, this same person called my employer with the same story.  The only idea I have is that an internet pay day loan company I used 1 year ago must have sold this information to these scamers.  They knew who I used as references, what bank I used, and my employer information.  BEWARE OF INTERNET PAY DAY LOANS.

Co-workers told me that someone called from the  "legal department" and demanded to speak with me. When I called back, the guy said I had a lawsuit against me and he needed my social security number. A scammer called my work with a different number and numerous identities. I recognized the guy's voice and I know it's him trying to retrieve information once more. He is now using a business phone, so the sheriff's department said that they can't do anything about it. I'm frustrated because I resolved this problem in december and now the guy is calling again with a different number. I'm not sure what to do at this point.
