I just received a call from this number. I did not answer, but they left a voice message. The message was for a John Wilson supposedly, although his Indian accent was so heavy he could barely pronounce his own name. He said he was calling from the State Investigation Department, and he was calling about a friend of mine who committed "fraud activity". He said because this person used me as a personal reference I was also in serious legal trouble and to call him back immediately at 212-901-9907 ext. 1037.
This is related to two other calls I received last week. One showed up as +052497347 on my caller ID, and the other showed up as Unknown. But the woman left a message with a call back number of 813-319-2662. Her message was about the same issue. In her voicemail message she said my friend took out a loan and did not pay it back and now was in serious legal trouble for fraud. I spoke with this friend and she does not have any loan outstanding. I looked up all these numbers online and it sure sounds like a scam! I will not be calling back, but I sure would like to know if there is any legal action we can take against them!
