Officer Jay Dawson

I actually received a call like this on October 18, 2013 from a man with an Indian accent who claimed his name was "John Walker" and he was posing as an Officer for the Federal Trade Commission. I first asked him where he was located. He told me that he was on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. (go figure). I then asked the man how is it possible that he was calling me from D.C. when his phone number came up with a Florida area code (crickets, crickets.....). He proceeded to threaten me with going to jail for unpaid payday loans that totaled up to $15K, which is not true because I have no payday loans because payday loans are illegal in Atlanta, which is where I live. I told him that someone tried to write a $89.00 check from my student account which I don't even have checks for that account and I asked if he was the mastermind behind the $29.00 overdraft fees that my bank charged me because of some scam? I also told him that my credit sucks to begin with so whoever has 'stolen' my identity should share how they were able to get a loan because I could use one. This made him even more angry, so he continued to threaten me with a jail sentence of 5 months, which led me to question his "Indian accent" that clashes with his "American name." He then became furious and told me that I should expect the police to arrive at my house in 30 minutes to take me to jail. I LMAO'ed loudly in his ear and said, "let me get this straight, you are giving me a jail sentence over the phone without even going before a judge, and on top of that, you want to arrest me without a warrant and you are telling me that the police will be at home in 30 minutes with an arrest warrant to throw me in jail for 5 months....." #crickets!!!!! I told him that I will call the police on him and have him arrested for posing as a federal officer. LOL!!!!!

I just received a call about 15 mins ago from this guy whom I couldn't even understand because of his heavy Middle Eastern accent stating he was from the FTC and my name and social security number are being investigated and I must call immediately to ext 101 or I will be arrested. I am calling Bell South where this land line is coming from and report illegal malicious activity. Not sure what "caller type" to list this under. Collection agency/scammer or sociopath !!
