Riiiight.  Because we all know the cops call you beforehand and tell you they're coming to arrest you.  The callers are lousy scammers, nothing more, nothing less.

>> Surrender to Police or Call John Harris <<

Um.
No, thank you.

Surrender to Police or Call John Harris

Got a call from a Deputy Conner from the Federal Crime Enforcement Network telling me that a federal  complaint had been filed against me and that I need to turn myself in to the  nearest police station the second I get the message. Or, I can call John Harris to discuss my case.
Unfortunately for them I am a protective service investigator with the elderly...I attempted to call back, but no answer. I really do hope they'll try to call again, because I'll be waiting :)
Funny thing too...the entire message was a machine, not a real person. And I also got the "have a blessed day".

threating automated phone call mentioning call back john harris or surrender self to 3 claims on name

threatining message about arrest

I met ben hudson online same story he told big damn scam

Mike Brown,
Tisk, tisk tisk......you are lying when you say they are not scammers.  Benjamin Hudson & Co is a fraud - nothing more then a scammer who prays on women who are on online dating sites.  He claims to be wealthy and in Dubai doing a major hotel, but then (and how convient) there is a major accident on his work site, thus, he has to give all his money to the families and pay taxes to the Arab government.  I didnt send any money, but let me warn you, this man is good at scamming. He takes alot of time with you, trying to get to know you and promising you the world.  Says he has a son Nathan and his wife died of breast cancer.....he is ruthless.  Then he tries desperatly to ask you for money for his return home....This sick individual needs to "MAN UP" and go get a real job and stop scamming women for money.  Be careful ladies.........Mike Brown, I wouldnt be suprised if you were aka Ben Hudson.....

Angel,

I too got involved with this "BEN HUDSON" and although I didnt get as far as you, I thank you for taking the time to post about him.  He did the exact same thing to me...sent pictures, told me he was in Dubai, owned a construction company, and even told me about the "accident on his job site".  What a loser he is and I hope they stop him before he gets someone to believe his story and send the scammer money.  Ladies, be careful out there......

A Ben Hudson who has a website Ben Hudson and Co tried to scam me said he was in Dubai doing construction he owned a business etc and was coming to New Zealand. Three months he emailed and rang each day, didn't give any money but just before he was surpose to come to NZ he said they had a major accident at the site and four were injured one dead. He went on to say he had stopped his insurance etc, which I questioned how that was not good business sense etc, anyway he tried to get me to give some money to the family as this was what a good Christian would do etc. I didn't he got angry and I said that there were too many scammers around he didn't like this. No contact since. People need to know that he is out there, he sent lots of photos, of self? probably someone elses photos. I think it was a Nigerian scam Watch out ladies, check the website, another has appeared as well with his name attached.

I too got a call from them seems they are from a legal department. I went and checked it out with their Head office. They are based in Washington. I spoke to the officiers there personally and they really helped me out. I thought they were a scam but they not.

This number keeps calling my phone and leaving messages but I don't know who it is he has a India accent. the number is 202-249-7493 he called me on 2-22-2011 at 1:36 P.M.I wish he could be stop but I am contacted FCC to see if they can figure who this guy is.

How do you know they are not a scam, seems to me they are, you must work for them.

I just called the number back and it is disconnected and I tried to call it back from how the number shows in my phone and it is a international phone call in India go figure!!

I keep receiving calls as well.  They are calling my cell and my work number.  They have threatened to send 5 men after me.  Who knows where they are actually calling from.  They are total scam artists.  They may have hacked in someone's system and gotten information.  
Be careful about what information you provide on line.  These people need to be arrested for harrassment!

they keep calling me from this # is a guy with an indian ancent and get this..his name is steven williams...wow  and indian with an american name, if thats not a scam i dont know what is.  get back to me if you dealt with this guy.

This people are NOT LEGIT! So do not believe what MIKE here is telling you! I took a loan with CashNet.com Last year for $200 Dollars. Somehow this crooks hacked into there system and stole my information! This people are taking advantage of ignorant people!

The first time I heard from them the number started with a number 054 something....not a regular Phone # in America, so I goggled it and found out that this people are running a scam with the info they stole from CashNet.com. By the way his name was Agent Frank Smith with a heavy Indian Accent! and in his message he said he was from a federal agency and they were going to take legal actions against me for non payment and put A HOLD on my social security number! A HOLD? Who heard of such thing? is not a freaking credit card! I ignored the call because I knew I did not owe them any money since I had already pay the loan... But since I did not answered they preceded to call my two references and making threats to them as well. To say the list my friend was concern and let me know that she had got a call from "Agent Smith".

I decided to call them back, that same day and when they answer, they started reading the whole script that I had got on my voicemail, I stop them in the middle of it, I asked "Agent Frank" what was my SS# and to my surprise it was my number! scary right! I asked him how much did I owe and they claimed it was $646. I told him that the highest amount of a loan on this place was only $200 and I was aware of there scam and since they where so inclined to get the money, I dare them to get it from my bank account since they had that information as well.

I called the FBI and since they can't trace the calls, there solution was do not answer! That is fine with me, but not if they are harassing my references.

You may think they would stop calling, but this people are retarded! Next time they called I only owed 356 dollars! I told them again to get it from my bank! and then hang out. By now you you think they removed you from there list, right?

WRONG! This cockroaches insisted on calling but from another number! 626-377-9468. By then I had read enough complains and one person suggested to turn the table on them and even gave a tip on how to answer the phone, which I did...

When they called, I had enough time to Google the number which by the way was a 202 number, and found out it was them AGAIN! So I answer, I told him to please hold, just so I could walk outside my office and talk. I then presided to told this person that he had reached the federal bureau of investigation and the number he had call was been investigated for getting fraudulent calls. I asked him what federal agency he was calling from and what was his ID number so I could transfer him to proper department.

To make the story short, he started to OFFER ME a $1000.00 If I gave him oral sex, of course he was not this polite, he started calling me b***h and I just keep asking for his federal agency name and Id number, until he hanged up.  You may think that would of have been the end of it... But NO!

A few days later I got a call from them again, a different person, still with an Indian Accent. I answer the same way and the person on the other line told me, let me get you my supervisor, he put me on hold and then using a deeper tone of voice pretending to be someone else, I ask for his federal agency name and ID number and he just hanged up! I thought I got rid of them...

WRONG AGAIN! But I guess a third time is a charm! Once again I get a called from this scam of the earth people and once again I answered in the same way. He claimed to be an Federal Office in Washington. I once again asked for his ID number and Name and he gave me my phone number and my name! I told him that what he had given me was a phone number not an ID number.

I asked him what Federal Agency he was calling from and he change his story and told me it was a Collection Agency. I told him that they were been investigated for making fraudulent calls and we were pinpointing the location of this calls and what he was doing was criminal and if he continued calling, he would be going to jail! He got so scared that he promised he would never called again!...

No it does not end there, Yesterday they called AGAIN! using this 202-249-7493 number and same ammo, but different name, now his name is Michael Crane! "I am calling from the Federal Crime Investigation department and I am contacting you in regards to a legal matter, your name and social security number have been linked to a legal investigation... Blah Blah...what gets me is that at the end of the voicemail they say "God Bless" Really? If they believe in God they should know that what they are doing is wrong! And yes, once again they precede it to call my references!

Today I got a call AGAIN! Since they did not get a person on the other end yesterday. So I once again turn the tables. I just said Hello in Spanish, and they hanged up. But an Hour Later they called AGAIN! So I answer in Spanish, they ask for me and keep talking to them in Spanish told them I did not speak English and say I did not know ME! So he hang up!

I know is not the end of it! So I will continue answering in different languages every time to f*** with there heads!

No one seems to do anything about it, and CashNet, said they were "investigating" the matter... and suggested not to answer the phone. That is fine with me, but if I don't, they start calling my two references and leaving there stupid message and one of my reference was really pissed at me and ask me to tell them to stop calling her.

So I will continue messing with them! I know it is a SCAM, so since they are so whiling to take the time to try to intimidate, I may as well f*** with there heads!

I hope my story helped to shed some light and hopefully no one will fall for it! By the way they prefer the payment via Western Union! So please BEWARE! and feel free to drive them crazy, turn the tables on this scam artist!

Good Luck
Gumshoes!

You can look up caller ID info for any number here:  http://tnid.us/

The number appears to belong to the Hilton Hotel.

I've gotten these calls before, it's because someone used you as a reference for some less-than-stellar borrowing; when they don't make their payments, these people call all the references your "buddy" listed and threaten them.  I just tell them to F off and call the person who owes them money.  They don't really have your personal information like they claim to.  They just have your name and number.

I too got a call from them seems they are from a legal department. I went and checked it out with their Head office. They are based in Washington. I spoke to the officiers there personally and they really helped me out. I thought they were a scam but they are not.

This guy called me today on 3-1-2011 at 1:44 P.M. from 814-248-6397 and left a message telling me his name Ben Hudson he's from Washington D.C. and he's investigation something but his accent was so bad I couldn"t understand him but he left another number to call him back and it was 202-248-6397 so I didn't understand what he said.Can't these people be stop I will have my number change this week I don't know what else to do I will also be contracting my Lawyer about this.

These people are the scum of the earth. Scam artist or con-artist what ever you call them, they prey on hard working Americans. They deserve to be put in prison for the rest of their life. If you know who they are let us know so we can get these people prosecuted.

These people are scam artist. If they contacted you, they aready have your social, bank info and home address. They even asked me to meet them in Washington D.C. I have done some investigation on these people and they have been running the scam for over one year. They spend most of thier time preying on people who use online pay day loans. Some of these pay day loan companies actually sell them your personal information. They have been using Cash Net Usa a pay day loan company. Cash Net Usa has been investigating these people along with the Federal Trade Commission. Contact Cash Net Usa and they will send you information on the scam. You will need to ask for their 3rd party fruad specialist.

I keep getting a phone call from this number it's a man and he has a India accent he calls than hangs up and calls right back than he leaves a message now I think I will get a hold of the attorney general office now. enough is enough than I will have my phone number changed. he called on 2-25-2011 at 11:49 P.M. these people should be stop I save all numbers and messages.

They keep calling here complaining that one of my coworkers owe's a debt and needs to pay.  The guy that called said his name is L Pearson but his accent was so strong I could hardly understand what he was saying.  Sounds as if he could be from India.

They called My work and left a message That a complaint was filed yo my ssn.
