After repeatedly ringing my phone until I answered, caller stated a member of my family had used my name and number as a reference while commiting "fraudulent activities".
Caller identified himself as "Officer Alan Taylor" When asked who he worked for he paused and stammered slightly mumbled something about United ... and then trailed off. I asked him to repeat that and he said "United Federal Crime Department."
This call was strikingly similar to ones I had been receiving about 2 - 3 months ago. I asked that person who they were and was told Officer so-and-so. Asked what type of officer; officer of the law or an officer of the company he worked for, caller could not give me an answer. I then told him since he could not answer my question he needed to stop calling my house.
These callers seem to be fishing for personal information.
