(336) 553-0130

I got a call from A John Smith stating if I didn't want to be arrested that I could settle with him, he would handle all the paperwork but If I didn't return his call in a second then all the could do was wish me good luck.What an idiot?

I got so many calls from a number at first I did not even reconigize on my cell phone from some foriegn person who left a message that this is legal issue and time sensitive and I must return the phone call right away other wise the company would pursue criminal charges against me.When I called this number back 305-507-8578 operater stated you have reached number in error. When he called back I answered my cell phone he stated I owe on a payday loan from nov of 2006. I needed to make a western union payment today. Also what came up on my caller Id was the numbers 024-110. This foriegn person who I could barely understand because english is so bad.Had my address and my ss# stated I took out a loan for 350.00 They wanted me to pay nearly 1000.00 I stated how come no buddy called me before this and why am I being contacted by my cell phone and the response I got was we tryed by email and you ignored your email I stated Im sure someone would have sent some sort of docuementation by now that was nearly three years ago. The foriegner stated you pay the loan my company will send you docuementation on the loan that you defaulted on to pay. These people need to stop threatening.

I've received a call today 1/6/09 on my cell phone saying to call this number 336-553-0130 saying he was calling regarding my sister's account and it was about a legal matter he also gave me an account number.  He said his name was Jeffery Scott(which I did not believe)it was weird because he also had the Middle Eastern accent.  I don't know how he got my cell number.  The phone number on the ID was 11286550850 I live in the United States and this number sure does not look like a number from my country.  There must be someone higher up in the security like Homeland Security that this can be looked into. And I agree with Ann (see 11/3/08 above)

I have received several calls from this number (callback number is: 336-553-0130) at my job and home. The man has a Middle Eastern accent and is stating his name as Steve Parker and previously as Brian Schmidt with the United Federal Investigations Bureau.  He indicated I had an outstanding debt for a payday loan I took out in 2005 and if I did not pay immediately then he would send investigators to my door to collect the money or possibly take me to jail. I felt this was probably a scam, but at the same time it scared me a little, so I asked him more questions.  He would not send me any documentation nor give me the name of the company that I owed this debt. The more questions I asked the angrier he got, he finally hung up on me.  He ended the conversation with "Good Luck". I contacted my Attorney General's Office and they did inform me that THIS IS A SCAM.  I've been seeing more and more of this happening to others unfortunately.   They are scaring people into giving money to them or else they go to jail.  Along with that fact, they are contacting places of employment and in my case told my co-worker that I would be taken to court if I did not call him back immediately. THESE PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED.

More Details:These people are scam artists.  Caller ID on my cell phone comes up 832-546128.  They leave a message to call a Justin Price (very broken English could hardly understand the message) back at 336-553-0130.  I called this number and they answer United Federal Bank.  They tell me that I took out a loan in Dec. 2006 and never paid it back and had information on my bank account. In order for me to not be taken to court and not to be put in jail I needed to pay them 1280.00.  They told me to pay by Western Union and make it payable to NWV.  I told them I had no idea what they were talking about.  They replied, "We've sent you dozens of emails and you have not responded".  I then told them that before I pay anything to anyone (knowing this is a scam) I told them to send me the info in the mail and that I would respond at that point.  Of course he stated that this was impossible and that I would be sent to jail if I did not pay them right away.  The people who answer the phone on the other end at the 336 area code have very broken English.  They could be terroists getting money for their "CAUSE".  Some thing needs to be done about these "TERRORISTS" who scare people into thihking they are going to jail.  I only talked to them to get as much information as I could to let the general public know about this scam.  I am now checking my bank account on a daily basis and have to switch to a new account because they have my information.

Said I owed 2100.00 and could pay by western union or debit /credit card to pay this bill off.  Could not give me the name of the company.  Just that I owed money to NWV.  This is a scam

Left message stating that I owed 2100.00 for a loan I took out in 2006. Could not give me the companies name just NWV is to who I should make the Western Union out to or pay by debit or credit card.  Said they would take me to court if I did not pay.  This is a scam.

Left message on my cell saying I or my attained attorney should return this call immediately!!  This is very time sensitive and do not disregard this call!  I did not call them back.

It's a scam but what I'd be more worried about is what website you put your financial information on that gave them access to it.
