I got a smilar call on 8/1/14, at my office, yup my place of work and left this number to call him back. Only the name he left was Thomas Barker (again a heavy indian accent according to our admin assistant. I called that number 347-627-1160 and asked for Mr. Barker. He promptly told me that he was not available and that he was his supervisor...identifying himself as Austin Roy and that he was calling from the legal dept of PCS? He then began this long spiel stating I am being sued and that if I did not pay, it would not be very good for me. I asked who was suing me...he could not identify which company, so I told him that since he had my number, he obviously would have my address and would need to send something official via certified mail. He had a very thick Indian accent. He then said he was calling from Cash Advance America.....I'd never borrowed anything from them at all. So I told again to put the formal complaint in the mail and hung up. He then proceeded to call me 15 times. Yes 15 times back to back, (I would hang up immediately after the first few, knowing it was him) When I picked up on the 15th call I was livid. He started pleading with me to listen to him because it 'would become very bad for me, and he wanted to help me because I seem to be a nice lady' he said. This is when I told him that I believed he was trying to scam people. No creditor would ever do what he just did, and told him that if he ever called me again, he would hear from my attorney. He was silenced.
Not sure where he may have got my number, I was online looking for a decent mortgage rate and loan to pay down some debt and partially completed an application form. Didn't think my information would had been saved. He called me once again on 8/2...only once. Is there soemthing we can do about these people?????
