Phishing Inhibitor - 08-21-2013

Total Fraud! I've been receiving calls from these people(same voices, different names; same voices, different companies; same voices, different reasons; same voices, different numbers!)

I've read comments left by other people on different websites, and I'm surprised that some people think these callers are real. They are complete scammers!

They don't have any "Charges" on anyone. They are totally phishing. The more info you give them, the closer they are to stealing your ID.

First, they simply try to bully you into accepting that there is an outstanding "ticket", "warrant", or "charge" involving
you. Some people have actually believed them and just sent them money to make it go away. Don't do it.

Even if you have any of the above outstanding, it will still be outstanding after you've paid them because they have nothing to do with your real legal problem(s). They are cold calling a bunch of numbers, and guessing what "your legal problem" may be.

If you call them back to tell them you are not the person they named in their message or that you don't have any outstanding

legal problems, they will tell you they need your info either to see if you are correct, or to make sure they will be able to delete your number from their list.

Of course once you've given them your info, they will start harassing you from other phone numbers with calls from different "employees".

And if they can't do that, they will open credit cards with your info, and or sell your info to online sites that sell it for identity theft.

Leaving comments on a website is a good way to alert other people, but...
