BEWARE!!! FILE REPORTS TO THE FTC, FBI and your ATTORNEY GENERAL!
I have received many calls and messages from this number. Here are the details of the second call I actually answered after already answering one yesterday and was threatened. Received a call on my work phone, Thursday 4/22/10 @ approx 12:25pm. Was informed I was speaking with Officer Robin Wilson. He stated that I needed to take down his name and call back number for “my rights.” He had me repeat back the phone number of 845-765-9492. Once I did this, he said he was going to transfer me to his Sr. Officer who would then go over the affidavit filed against me. He put the phone down loudly, I could hear plenty of other people on the phone in the background, and then came back on stating he was now Sr. Officer Jack Smith and that he had his Jr. legal counselor Robin Wilson attempting to contact me because he needed to review my affidavit with me. It was the same exact guy playing both Robin and now Jack. He gave me a case number and then proceeded to ask me to verify my social security number, home address, email and place of employment. I refused to give this information and asked what this “affidavit” was regarding. He would not give specifics and just stated that legal action was going to be taken upon me. I asked that per my rights, that any information regarding this case be sent to me in writing. He stated that he could not do that and in order to do so I needed to have my lawyer give him a call. I then asked that he stop calling me at work because it was harassment and that I couldn’t receive personal calls. He stated that if he did not hear back from my lawyer in 2 days he would continue to call my cell and work as he pleased. He then preceded talking fast as I told him that their operation was illegal and I hung up the phone. This is the 10th or so call I have received between my cell and work in the past 3 days. In their initial call yesterday, they demanded my banking info to pay some $600 debt that they would not identify to me. I believe this is some sort of phone extortion/scam to scare people into paying them money over the phone. BEWARE! PLEASE FILE REPORTS EVERYTIME THEY CONTACT YOU. IF WE DONT GET THIS ON THE RADAR OF THE FTC, FBI AND ATTORNEY GENERAL THEY WILL KEEP ON!!! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, READ THE FDCPA.

DO NOT ACCEPT A CALL FROM THESE FRAUDS!!! It shows up as 1010 or 1-1015. A "Robert Wilson" (with a middle eastern/Indian accent) left me a voice mail stating he was with the Department of Law Investigation and he urged me to contact them @ 845-765-9492 immediately due to a legal matter. He also contact a friend of mine on her cell phone early on the same day stating that it was very important to contact me. I did call back, the individual (not identifying himself) stated that I was being sued and needed information. I asked them where is he from and he said the Department of Investigation in New York. I asked again what this was about & it changed to someone stole my identity. I advised that I am uncomfortable with this situation since I never received anything in writing and then he tried to assure me that they've written me via usps & e-mailed. At that point I advised I will be reporting them.
