Just beware, if the number shows up on your cell its a charge. I got charged $1.99 for each call (total of 10 calls). I contact my wireless carrier, and they was happy to work with me and removed the charges.

I am so glad that I read your response. I am going to try that. I keep getting the same calls. First he identified himself as Office Darmer, when I called back he identified himself as Office Tom Brown, badge # 32C14 (yeah right, like I believed him). I contacted the FBI in Woodlawn MD, and they explained that this is a SCAM, and that several folks have contacted them with the same type of complaint. They told me to get their name, badge #, and inform them that the call was being recorded and the conversation reported back to the FBI.
We have some really sick people in this world who use their time in scamming folks. I feel for the elderly who don't know and are scared to death with these types of calls.
Man, I wish something could be done about this.

I received a call today at work. The name told to me was Officer Marcus Brown. My secretary told him that I was unavailable and had to call him back. When I called back, it kept going to voicemail. That's when I "Googled" the number and got all of these reports. Are there legitimate debts behind these calls or is it just a random scam?

I just got this call form 954-639-9260 Kept ignoring him and he kept calling back. Says they are coming to my house and he is also going my job and getting me fired. When do they ever stop
| Mike 2011-06-06 21:08:06 Unknown |
Yes, got a call from these people alledging that they are central investigation. Actually, they are based in India and the calls are fraud. Hang up on them and file a complaint with the FTC.

who are these people?
| Matt 2011-06-01 23:10:08 Unknown |
Got several calls from 954-639-9260 from an officer Shawn Martin of central investigation regarding an affidavid and 3 counts of fraud against me. I called his bluff when I asked him to verify my social security number and gave him a fake last 4 digits.
It is a scam, hang up on them.

I got the same thing. This is the second time I've dealt with this harassment within a months time. His name when he called me was Ofc. Mark Adams, regarding an urgent matter, time sensitive matter. The frequency of the calls is about the same, twice a day but three- five calls back to back. I am going to notify the Atty. Generals office and open a harassment case. The last series of calls lasted about two weeks and it's starting all over again I reall don't need this s**t.

I received a call from 954-639-9260 to my place of employment today. The foreign guy represented himself as an "officer" to my co-worker. This guy told me his badge # is 65423. He is a debt collector but representing himself as an officer of the law. This is a huge violation of the FDCPA. I am going to contact the Ft Lauderdale police department to see if there is anything they can do or perhaps they can tell me how to file a complaint. Does anyone know if we can file a complaint regarding this guy posing as an officer? Any ideas on how to get this guy to stop calling my employer?

I just received a telephone call which was sent to my voice mail. So I listened to it and it was from 954-639-9260. It said that he was from investigations department and had a heavy Indian accent which was rather hard to understand. I was threatened to get fired from my job, they would make sure of that, and be arrested and put behind bars. Now I found this rather interesting so I thought why not give them a call back.
Well I called the number and after it rang I got imagine that the same person who called me with the same heavy indian accent. I asked him 3 times what I received a call from his "company" for and after a little proding I got an answer of that I was listed as a primary suspect. I asked him what I was a suspect in and after he tried to beat around the bush about it and it was to hard to understand him any further I asked to speak to some one else to better understand. I was then promptly hung up on.
Feeling as though I am probably getting under their skin I called back and when I did guess what the same person answered again. I told him that I was hung up on and asked again to speak to someone else in his "company" to which this time I was told "hold on a minute".
Well that was the fastest minute I have ever seen, it was more like a second had past and I was speaking to someone who ironically sounded exactly like the person who I was speaking before. Tired of trying to understand fully I began to question him more like he was the one with the burden of proof, He stumbled more than once to try and give me the information that I asked for to verify what he was to trying to tell me. I asked him to tell me my mailing address and he had to "supposedly look it up" and when he did amazingly he had my physical address, but didn't know the name of the town I lived in and when asked that he said its in North Carolina. That certainly does not narrow it down, as I'm sure there is more than one street named the same as mine in North Carolina. So I then continued to ask him when I supposedly signed up for (yeah he said it was for a pay day loan, with paydayadvance) and his answer was sometime in November of 2010, or November 2011. When he stated this I tried not to laugh at him as I was curious how I did something in November of 2011 when its only May of 2011, but I continued on telling him that I was a lawyer and I knew my rights under the fair debt collection states that a debt collector can not threaten to have you arrested or threaten to take your job. He then went quiet for a few seconds, probably trying to figure out how he was going to get this done, I thought he had hung up, but then he stated " I don't want to hear anything else answer me are you going to resolve this or not". I told him that he had to verify the mystery debt before I would do anything with him or anyone else at his "company". This seemed to irritate him and I then told him that I had done some research which speaking to him on the phone via the internet and found this site and all the scams that are associated with him and his "company" I also stated that I was going to be in contact with the North Carolina Attorney General about and when I did this he abruptly HUNG UP!
Any one else try anything like this?

Had the same situation, First it was Officer Tom Brown and then it was Officer Sean Martin from Central Investigations. They called me on Monday at work and left a message. And I actually almost believed them. But names sounded suspicious being that they had a really heavy accent and couldn't really understand them.Saying I had 3 criminal counts agains me and that if I did not take care of it right away that they were going to send someone to my house and I was going to get arrested. Yet they didn't provide me with dates or any info, So they kept callling me yesterday and I let it go to voicemail. So I let my husband know, and being that he works for the sheriffs department. Had him call 954-639-9260. So he called and He said that he was calling from Sheriffs Department and wanted to speak to Officer Tom Brown or Officer Sean Martin. The person told him there were no officers at that number. He told them that he had been receiving a lot of complaints about that number and the person told him that he didn't know what he was talking about that the number that he had called was a HOUSEHOLD number. And my husband told them that the number was going to be reported and they hung up.
TOTAL SCAM..

I just got a phone call on my cell phone, the name he gave me was Officer Mark Adams. Although I don't bellieve he is a "police officer", I do believe he is from a collection agency. He mentioned my brothers name and said that I was used as a reference and they were attempting to contact my brother. I did not give them information, but I DO know that my a***ole brother put me down as a reference on a title loan. So I think the company could be legit, but the names and job titles are bogus. Nonetheless, I wouldnt give them ANY information.
| SpecialK 2011-05-13 21:51:20 Unknown |
I just received the same call from an Officer Tom Cook with Central Investigation inquiring about my friend and I was listed as a reference. According to him, my friend was involved with Internet fraud and I needed to contact them immediately. The killing part, he called my work number as well! I'm slightly baffled, how do they get our information???
| concerned 2011-05-13 18:28:23 Unknown |
I just received a phone call from someone with an Indian accent that idenfies himself as an officer that
had an legal complaint under my name and ss#. He said if I didn't call back that he wished me luck in whatever happens with me.
SCAM, dont' fall for it.
| girlygirl 2011-05-12 16:52:21 Unknown |
I recieved a call from and indian guy he said he name was Adam something I couldn't really understand what he was saying. He did say he had a complaint about me under my name and SS# and would I mind holding to speak to his boss. I said sure but when he put me on hold I hung up. Then they kept calling right back. I just kept sending it to voice mail. they finally left a message this time it was a officer Kenneth Parker with the dept. of financial investigation. I googled the number and for believe it is a scam. Don't call back or tell these people any thing.
| me 2011-05-11 18:42:04 Unknown |
I just received a call also. Forward this number to your local secret service office. The next time they call tell them you have given their phone number to the secret service. They cannot get you fired from your job or anything else.
| me 2011-05-11 15:55:08 Debt Collector |
They called me 4 times one day and 3 times the next, and calls back to back. The number appears on my caller ID as 0000. Can barely understand the guy, has real bad accent. Said was Officer Mike Pearson with Central Investigation.
| Charlie 2011-05-09 23:26:58 Debt Collector |
These guys call me fri may6 threatening me telling me they have an affidavit with my name on it as a co signer with a former friend and that I was responsible for paying for a loan or they will take me to court. Andrew Fletcher was the so called "chief officer" He called me 6 times today while I was working with the same threats. You can't reason with him at all. I was freaking out until I googles this number. Appears to be a scam. I did contact my local authorities the while thing is ridiculous
| laurmar 2011-05-09 18:03:55 Debt Collector |
I got a call asking me to forward his phone number to a friend of mine. He said I was put down as a personal reference. He too was Indian and identified himself as Officer Marco Adams. I asked where he was calling from, he said Miami. The number was (954) 639-9260. I asked him what police department he was with, he said he was with Sando? Investigation and that this was urgent since he was at the court house. The number that appeared on my phone was (916) 395-0000. When I looked that number up it was identified as coming from Sacramento California. I am not going to forward this information any farther than this site
| CARYL 2011-05-06 23:45:59 Unknown |
Just got a message from this number he said his name is OFFICER Mike Pearson from Central Investigation, there are total scam do not fall for their call. An guy with indian accent name Mike Pearson, make it more realistic geesh!!!
| Maggie 2011-05-05 20:22:34 Unknown |
Where did you google it and see for confirmation it was a scam? I totally think it is too just trying to look up the link you did.
| Maggie 2011-05-05 20:19:51 Prank Call |
Call just came to my job too. Saying it was Officer Kenneth Parker with federal investigations and had an "urgent" legal complaint under my name and ss#. No way am I calling back - I bet they ask you to "verify" your social security number so they can look up your file and that's how they steal it. No way am I calling it back!
| Ann 2011-05-05 19:19:31 Debt Collector |
The call came to my job and it was an Indian guy posing as Officer Andrew Flechter. I googled the phone number and found it to be a SCAM. I am not calling this person back.
