Prank messages..

Threats with lawsuit, and "wants to settle out of court". Really?

I just got this call today. Crazy, he even knew the last four digits of my social. Not cool !!

Us Fast Cash Cyber Crime Division Scam: claim you owe money and if you dont pay now the police with the heavy african for indian accent will come and arrest you at work or home...This is a Scam!!

Same thing, as above message. Got the call at work, a guy with a HEAVY Indian accent saying his name is Officer Adam Smith (really???) and if I didn't call him back he was going to come and arrest me at my office. Hmmm. right.

Yes they called 5 times in a row at work and when I called them on being a scam they got really upset.  Threatening me in a lawsuit, trying to get me to confirm my SSN and birth date over the phone.  If you ask for a receipt or a bill they get really upset.  Mine said it was Officer Mark Thomas with a very heavy Indian accent.  When are these people going to stop?

I have been receiving multiple calls from the same number at work and on my cell I have tried to report it but they keep coming any suggestions on how to make it stop?

Ok this guy called me and did the same thing very upsetting because he had my bank account and the last 4 of my social so I am going to the bank and contacting the credit agency's to put a watch on my social

Greetings to all.

I am a covert investigator with Task Force Investigations Inc, headquartered in Denver Colorado. We are conducting investigations into the use of the phone number of 607-699-9219.

Our client received a call from the number, with the caller identifying himself as being with a police agency, investigating fraud. We have verified the caller was a fraud.

What I am hoping, is that of the complainants posting on this page, some will contact us with some more details as to their experience with the caller.

Please e-mail [removed] if you would be willing to work with me on this. Again, I am a covert investigator so I cannot divulge my name, however, if you wish to verify I am with the agency I say I am, please feel free to call the number on the contact page of my agency's site. When e-mailing, please include the case number of FI-031011-87 or mention it when calling.

E-mails containing the case number above will be forwarded to my e-mail account.

you should contact your local authuaraties because this is a scam .becuse i had the same thing happen to me at work and on my cell phone

Nichole,

Anytime someone calls asking for or demanding money in any type of suspected scheme, contacting law enforcement is always suggested. However in this particular case, all the police can do is call the number and go through the same frustrations you've experienced. Here is an example:

I personally called and requested a police officer to meet me at my office. When he arrived, I explained the situation regarding the number of people on this web page complaining about harassment and attempted fraud.

The officer called the number and attempted to get the "fraud investigator" to identify himself and verify his association with an actual law enforcement agency to no avail as the person calling all of you is a con-artist and a pretty good one at that. All the officer could do is generate a report for harassing phone calls.

It is for this reason we have picked up the case. If we can get enough information and some more phone numbers being used for fraud, we might be able to locate the fraudulent suspects and generate a case for prosecution by the federal court system. The more people who participate in our investigation the better. Each individual who has been contacted from the number reported on this page is a potential single criminal charge against the person responsible. Needless to say, if we get 10 participants the person responsible would face 10 charges.

Charges that the responsible person would face would be at least, impersonating a federal agent, impersonating a NY state official and more. If you they had been successful in getting money from you, there would be larceny and fraud charges for each instance.

In consideration of our on-going investigation, please report any fraudulent calls and phone numbers to us before posting them here. It seems the callers are monitoring complaints related to the phone numbers they use and change the number they call from every 30-90 days.

We've traced the phone number complained about on this web page to learn it is not a land line or cell phone. In fact it is a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) number, originating from several internet providers within the us. Based on detailed information we've obtained, it appears the caller is using a laptop making him able to make calls from what we suspect to be his car.

We believe, although the the caller's accent would suggest otherwise, the caller is within the US. Further inquiries are being launched in a cyber capacity to ascertain the location of some providers not previously known to us.

The best way you can help is by e-mailing us the following information on the caller:

What company/agency did the caller say he was with?
What did the caller say his name was?
Did the caller tell you what his title was (agent, special agent, officer, captain, etc.)
What state and or country did the caller say he was from?
Please describe the conversation in as much detail as possible.
What types of information did this person verify that he had on you (social security numbers, license numbers, account numbers and so on)?

After e-mailing the answers to these questions, you'll receive a reply from us asking you to identify yourself to us, so that we may add you to the victim list. This victim list will be turned over to the FBI in the event we're able to build a case fit for prosecution. Without a victim list, there is no crime therefore no prosecution. Also, if we only have victims in a single state, it becomes the state's responsibility to prosecute so we would appreciate everyone's co-operation to ensure this foolishness stops.

Please e-mail your answers to: [removed]

When e-mailing, please include the case number of FI-031011-87 or mention it when calling. If you call please do so only if you wish to confirm the validity of this investigation and verify my affiliation with the agency. I absolutely need your direct communication with me via e-mail so I can also get authorization to share your information and complaint with the FBI when our case is ready.

Note also, the FBI will direct you to call your local authorities if you choose to call them directly. The reason for this is you would be calling about your complaint. When we turn over our case files, we'll have several complainants in several states, placing the case under federal jurisdiction instead of one state. Needless to say, the federal authorities have far greater resources then us or local authorities.

For real.  I am sick and tired of getting these calls.  First they messages on my cell phone saying I have to call them immediately because there's a law suit against me and I'm about to go to jail.  Once they leave that message, they then call me on my job.  Today he asked to speak to my supervisor and I said no and that if needed to talk to me about anything personal regarding me then he need to talk to me.  

Then I started to read information from the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act and he said he didn't care what the Attorney's General Office said and that I needed to call him back if I wanted to resolve the issue.  

Of course the number he provided was 607-699-9219.

Let's be real.  These people have too much personal information about a person.  I don't like it at all.

he knew my whole social, my bank account, work number... freaked me out! and said if i did not pay, all my accounts would be "blacked out" and he would come to my work and take care of it there. then he asked "now where are you located?" GGRRRR! my mother has been involved in a nigerian scam for about 3 yrs now so whenever i talk to anyone on the phone with a heavy accent and they can't produce an obvious American sounding person, my "scam alert' goes haywire!

This is really a scam, They are trying to get into your accounts for identity theft, I have had three accounts telling me that there has been unauthorized accessing.  Thank goodness they have good security.  Beware, I still get calls from the same person only with different names and different telephone nos.

Calls on this number and different nos. such as 512-614-7991   same person, different names, one is Officer Richard Johnson, another is Nick Wilson, very broken english, can't really understand him.  He says I owe an unpaid payday loan, which is a lie, says my social security no. is in a lawsuit over this, I think it is a way for identify theft, I have had three of my accounts with unauthorized accessing.  So thankful I was notified and that they have very good security.  Thank you

Called back again. He identified as "Officer Frank". I asked for "Officer Thomas" and then for "Adam Smith". He didn't seem to like this very much at all.

Then I told him that what he was doing was BAD KARMA and told him to be sure to check out this site.

Once they get it in their heads that we know their scam, maybe they'll get tired of trying.

I have been receiving calls on my cell phone from these people.  They called my job and spoke to the secretary saying that he was Officer Mark Thomas from the Department of Fraud.  The number he called from was (607) 699-9219.  He told the secretary that there was a lawsuit against my social security number "which he knew incidently.  He said he was an officer with the New York Deparment of Fraud and that he would arrest me.  I told him to go to hell and not to call me any more at all and also that I was going to report him and all of his phony numbers to the local police. I am not going to stand for any one threatening me or calling my job talking to the secretaries about fraudulent schemes which I know nothing about.  I don't have a payday loan from these guys.  Pay day loans are illega where I'm from.  I won't stand for them calling my job and attempting to make me look like a bum to my employer.

There have been updates to our investigation.  Specialized Service Management has created the Anti-Fraud Consortium, a coalition of sorts, of private investigators, agencies and "computer tech specialists".  We are now asking any and all victims to stop calling our agency as we've been flooded with calls about this free service.  In stead we would like any victims of this fraud to follow the link below to a page on our official web site.  Other methods have been placed on the page to verify who we are.

If you have been called by one of these fraudulent investigators, please follow the link below, read what is on the page and get involved by filling out the form at the bottom of the page.

We now have the support we needed to make some progress but we need your help.  If we don't have victim information there's nothing to investigate.

I have been getting calls from this number for about a week now

I just received a phone call from these people yesterday. He told me that he was a officer investigating fraud in Ny and had all my information. It freaked me out I would not confirm anymore information to him and told him I had to call him back because I could not understand what he was saying. He told me if I did not call back to resolve this issue that it would be sent to the courts. I did not feel comfortable speaking to him in regards to anything. I am glad I just did a reverse phone look up because I came upon this site and now know its a fraud.

He constantly kept saying he was an officer and that I needef to not interupt him when he was speaking so he cluld record the conversation. I kept interrupting him and he got mad because I kept asking him to repeat himself to me since his accent was so heavy.

Thank you for all posting on this site you probably saved me from a scam that would drain my accounts and possibly identity theft.
