Received this call today as a follow-up call from a few days ago - the first call was 703-555-0154 and the man left a threatening message - me or my lawyer should call him back asap or else there would be consequences. He then proceeded to wish me luck should I not call back. I checked the number on -line and found other people had received the same threatening message. I notified my company manager and also the front desk to watch for that number. When a similar number came through, I took the call and was informed that I was a suspect in a case - no company name, no specifics given. I informed the man -who had a heavy accent - that I had checked him out and reported him to the authorities since he was a scammer. Then I told him to drop dead.

Thank you for the info. and you are right it is a scammer, I tried to call the number back and it said the number had been changed or disconnected. This scammer called me but I did not answer. I use to know someone (Princess Kathryn Angel Greystone, aka Gloria Hilstad) who did this just for fun and she used a friend who she called Detective Mark who is an ex-con and ex new York police officer, funny he got fired because he had something to do with a bombing in the city.

Got this number on my Call Display as "Unknown Name" and there was no '1' in front of the phone number  - which indicates its is a spoofed/faked number.  No message was left.  Reverse Lookup says the line Owner is 'QWest Communications' out of Cheyenne, Wyoming USA.  I'm in the Greater Toronto Area and know of no person or company from there.

Thanks posters - I will be reporting it to Canada's Anti-Fraud Unit.  Here's the website with the latest scams info:

These crooks are trying to get personal information out of you, which is used for Fraud (including Fake Passports/IDs, etc.) and they also target seniors so warn your elderlies!

This number called 3 times in less than a minute. Upon answering there was dead air.
