Received a call from this number this afternoon saying I had committed check fraud and was going to be arrested within 24 hours and jailed for 7 days, then have to appear before a judge.  What the hell?  Scary thing is they knew my bank acct no, soc sec no, everything about me. He then said he worked for a law firm and that I would owe $8,400 in fines.  I have heard of these scam/extortion rings before and have had 2 others with the same thick Indian accent and a lot of noise in the background, I could hardly even understand this guy who gave me a very American name, definitely not Indian descent.  I'm sick of this, how do they get our numbers, especially cell phones which aren't listed in any phone book?

I am rreceiving calls from this number this morning and afternoon saying I will be sorry if I don't call back.  Dialing my place of employment and cell phone.  Both involving an indiviudal with a thick indian accent.  Stating if I don't return the call or if my attorney doesn't call them back.. "a situation unfolds on you".  The call is very threatening and disturbing. I too experience a lot of noise int he bakground, and I could hardly even understand what he was saying.  I repeatedly ask not to dial this phone, and you have the wrong number.   I have reported this information and will have this investigated. I too would like to know what is being done about these scam artists.  How do they obtain your personal information.

Telling me I have a payday loan not paid they will not give me any info. In the state of Florida you are aloud to get it in writing the company name,address,and any contact info. It is a scam think they would actually know the laws before they try to pull a fast one.

I got two calls on Wednesday (at 12:34pm & at 7:55pm) from this number, like everyone else it was an Indian or middle eastern guy with a THICK accent, said his name was Mark Lawson. Calls from this number ALWAYS goto my voicemail :). He stated that he was calling regarding a time sensitive item and would not say what it was. He then started to get angry and told me to call NOW!! He threatened to call my employer, bank, & ALL of my family relations. He mumbled a privacy act number as well as a state county city code. Then he called again yesterday at 5:24pm from a different number and name (Mark Williams) threatening the same things. Said he was calling from the National Client Investigation Bureau. I've Googled the name and it came up with  Joseph Moura - National Investigation Bureau - Stoughton, MA, www.nationalinvestigation.com/joseph-moura.html.

I am filing a complaint with the FTC, everyone should do the same.

Same thing I told him the first time that I knew it was a scam and not to call back. he did repeatedly and even left a message that I am giving to the police dept. Call back or else is a terroristic threat I belive.
