cross posting because of multiple numbers used/searched for:
caller ID: 516-408-2174 message provides a call back number: 888-390-7104
516 number doesn't answer, it's just a call out number
these scammers called home telephone number of a retired firefighter and former police officer at 10:33am Jan 22, 2014 with recorded message with claim of returned item from bank, organization claims to be Arbitration & Resolution advising have 48 hours to resolve or face resolution in residing county. given case number of 2014-XXXXX
retired law enforcement never calls them back on number calling from but logs the call with federal officials
then called them back from Google/Gmail dialer whereupon I began to explain softly and politely (thinking I'm talking to humans) that the same calls are being received daily from multiple numbers and in a state where their practice is illegal regardless of nature of their call. THEN the ghetto woman, Melissa, who answered the phone stated before I even finished my sentence: she don' care 'bout no state laws and don' wanna hear nuffin, do you have a case number or get the hell off her phone.
yes she did :-| I sat silent thinking, oooh if only a federal agent would find this ignorant cow asaFp! she then hung up. called her back and Melissa goes: are you ready to talk to me like I expect to be talked to? at that point realized I was talking to a miscreant, degenerate and all around low-life, no point in continuing.
yea, they're about as much a debt collector as I'm the King AND Queen of England
so obviously this scammer refused to provide their company info or even a debt collector's license (required in my state). and per these scammers, including ghetto-fab Melissa, they don't have to abide by any state laws :-|
bottom line if you're seeing this for the first time: these scammers are randomly dialing numbers with hopes to con someone out of $$. law enforcement across the nation has been advised of these extortion-scam calls. DO NOT call them back from same number they're calling you from. that helps them verify your information for identity theft later or allows them to look up information based upon your number.
***THERE IS NO DEBT, THERE IS NO COURT (threats of legal action is the extortion attempt), THERE IS NO COMPANY THEY'RE CALLING FROM, COMPANY NAME IS MADE UP, THEY'RE NOT LAWYERS (don't even have H.S. diploma or even college degree between them all)***
they're using ghost, temporary numbers that disappear after X-amount of funds are scammed, then start over with a new number.
per Attorney General, which has also sued same organization they're claiming to represent, they're con artists operating out of Caribbean or India and one system dials out and leaves bogus message and another system awaits your return call to begin the scam. if they're calling you at your place of employment, let you employer know this is a scam. they've simply stolen your information (either from a purchase online somewhere) and are using that to scare you. CALL YOUR LOCAL POLICE and advise your employer to block their number, as well as advise your employer it's part of a nationwide scam. ONCE YOUR LOCAL POLICE phones them back, they'll run scrambling and even hang up on a cop (ironically after leaving you a message you're facing criminal charges) AND remove your number. that is the one resolution that has been consistent: they run, like the rats and roaches they are, from cops
