Receiving several calls from this phone number, and from 3 other phone numbers. Always the same guys, heavy Indian accent, can barely understand them. Calling my cell number several times a day and now calling my work number. Leaving nasty messages quoting my SSN and that I have a pending legal action against me. Finally I picked up one of their calls. It was a name who said his name was "Lawrence" and he had to put his "supervisor" on the line to speak with me. He whispers my name to someone in the background, then "Daniel" comes on the line and says he is calling to collect on a loan I didn't pay. I asked him what loan and he says a "Payday Loan". Funny thing, I didn't take out any payday loan. I told him this and I asked him why he's trying to scam me? At that point he started yelling and screaming obscene things at me, cursing, saying he was gonna come have me arrested etc. I yelled back and told him NEVER to yell at me and that I was going to file complaints with the FTC and Sate Attorney General's Office, he laughed. I just hung up. I later looked up some of the numbers and found all kinds of scam reports. I also tried calling this phone number back, after hours in the wee hours of the night and guess what? They are calling using a "Magic Jack"! The message come on saying I had reached a magic jack customer who was not available. Magic jack is one of those devices you can purchase to use on your computer to make free phone calls over the internet. So, whoever these people are, they are using our own technology to make free US phone calls to scam and harass. I think they are out of the country doing this. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MORE INFO! I have had to change my bank account numbers, telephone number and file fraud alerts.
