says they are Mike Smith in HEAVY indian accent, time sensitive must call otherwise good luck with what will come.

Calls and says I am being sued by an unnamed company.  Says his name is Mark Murphy in a thick indian accent.  He has my address, my work address, and my social security number.  When I start asking questions, like who is the company and why, he hangs up on me!  So I call him back, and he asks why I'm bothering him! Thinking about calling the police and reporting this...

Person calls repeatedly.  When the call rolls to voice mail, they hang up and call back.  This process continued for several minutes.  When we finally picked up the receiver, the person on the other end of the phone (Michelle Smith - so she said in her Eastern Indian accent) proceeded to say that she was working for a government agency and the my wife was involved in a federal lawsuit that was initiated by the government agency for whom she worked.  She would not identify that agency, nor indeed the government.  She would not provide an address nor connect us with her supervisor.

I am a Bankrupty attorney.  A client has received several phone calls from a "George Miller" claiming to be an attorney with McGougan Law Firm out of Whiteville City, NC.  He stated he was was collecting on a payday loan that was not dischargeable and that my client faced three criminal charges.

When I called the number, it clearly sounds like a sweat shop call center in India.  They asked for a letter of representation and gave me McGougan's contact info.

McGougan Law Firm is primarily a patent law firm (according to their website) and they get calls every day from people looking into these collections calls.  They do NOT do collections work and they believe this is simply a scam.

I advised my client to ignore these calls.  This clearly appears to be a scam.

I got a call at home and at work from this number from a guy with a heavy Indian accent. He referred to a payday loan I had. He said the company was going to press charges. At first I was nervous then when he put on hold I could hear what sounded like a "sweat" shop in the back ground. Then I got to thinking what the were talking about, but get this he wanted to go and get something notorized and then faxed it to him in 2 hours. I started to think how would he know if got it notorized if I faxed it to him. So I got the researching using the number he gave me. The number that appeared on my telephone when I called did not work.
