called my brothers phone claiming to be aaron westbrook of National Association of Fraud Investigation. what a crock of [***]!!!

I got that same call today. They had no proof of what they claimed I committed fraud on

Got a message from a phone number 713-359-9813, an Aaron Westbrook.  Did not say where he was from.  Said it was urgent I contact him with my brothers attorneys name as my brother was going to be charged with internet fraud.  

Did not give his company name, just Aaron Westbrook.  

I am in Wisconsin and on both the Wisconsin and national no call lists.  My brother is in Texas and does not even have access to the internet.

I received the same call today with threats of warrants.  Arron Westbrook was a rude individual with false accusations.  I don't need harrasment such as this.

I got the same call and hoped it was fake......glad to see this site!  who the hell is he?  Arron Westbrook?

I just got a message too..saying he was going to get a warrant for my arrest..some kind of fraud ..he also called me by my maiden name..very rude

Called my job today with a bunch stuff.  Threatened to leave a message on my supervisor's extension.  Her extension rings to my office.  Full of you know what

Had an old roomate call me today with this same message called the number same method of opeartion as everyone else on this pursureing this to the Texas attorney generals office.

just so everyone know it doesn't matter what name they use any call from this number is a fraud. I just recv'd call from a Catherin Jenkins claiming to be with National Fraud Investigation Agency..yea right...this all started back in Nov 2012 w a call from an Anthony Freeman claiming he was an officer of the court with the fraud unit & had a warrant for my arrest on old payday loan. He called from 713-261-1359. I fell for it out of fear but afterwards did my homework & found out I had been scammed. Filed police reports in city I live in as well as Houston since call came from there. My bank reversed my money & now this Jenkins says they are reopening case since it was charged back..lol..helloooo..if it had been a true debt all they had to do was show proof to my cc which they couldn't do cause there was no debt!!..don't let them scare you..she wanted my attorney's number & I told her I would do her 1 btr & gave her the number for the detective in Houston handling the case against them cause the only address they gave was a condemned apt complex & since claimed to be an officer of the court they now have warrant for impersonating an officer..

I got the same call from a Linda Taylor stating that I borrow money from a pay day loan which I never took out. and if I didn t pay $725 they d have me arrested..I did my homework to find that this is a big scam..These people put on a good act to instill fear in you to pay. This isn t the first time.it angers me to know that people are out there to rip off the innocent hard working people

Got a call today also stating that I owe money from back in Feb. 2006. I need to pay this and I have a fraud account on me and I need a lawyer.  If I don't show that I can pay half of the resatution fee I will be arrested.

Same thing just happened to me! But they called out my ss & my address!

Al:  I got a call yesterday for a lady saying her name was Miss Taylor for the Dept of Investigation fraud unit.  She said that back in 2006 I owed a certain bank and that since the bank didn't hear from me they forwarded the matter to Elite Investigations.  Since Elite didn't hear from me they sent it to the Dept of Investigation.  She said I owed 500.00 but since it was sent to the Dept of Investigation their fees it came to over 1500 but they would settle for 725.00.  I was in such a panic I told my Dad.  He was going to send them a ck but they said they would not accept his check, nor a money order it had to be a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard.  Now I moved from Pennsylvania to New Jersey in 2008.  I called the Post Office where I use to leave and they told me I this were the case the Police would have come to them for my forwarding address.  Stupid me I told this so called Dept of Investigation back and gave them my email.  The sent this stupid email not from this Dept of Investigation but from Elite Investigators.  It said the Creditor was Platinum B services (no clue who they are) a file number the total owed of 1562.00 Bank name which was my old bank.  I was so stressed I called the bank that I had back in 2006 in Pennsylvania and they said I owed them nothing.  I called my bank in New Jersey and they looked on Chex Systems and my account is clear.  I emailed the email that Elite sent to me and I forwarded the email to them and they said they were going to forward it to their fraud department.  My dad even called the State Police here in Jersey and he said do not do anything and if someone comes to the house called the New Jersey State Police and they would come here.  This Miss Taylor said she was going to court today and they would issue a warrant.  She didn't even have my new address.  I am still in fear.  Do I have anything to fear or is this a big scam.  I did try to call them using a different cell and they do answer Investigation department.  Please reply to put my mind at ease.

I got a call claiming I committed check fraud. Caller's name is Tiffany Davis

I got the same call today...................I got a call on my cell phone.  I didn't answer it because i didn't know the number.  about an hour later, i got a call from a friend of mine saying they had a message on their machine for me and played it back and wrote it down for me.  These people called a friend of mine, that I used as a reference for a payday loan in 2007 from a company called paragon.  They left all the information on their machine that I was being investigated for check fraud and I needed to call them and left a reference number.  So I called them back.  The person who answered the phone was a Mrs. Davis and I was transferred to a Linda Taylor (the investigator) who I could here in the background telling her that she had my information and give her the call.  She was very rude and it was a horrible connection so I kept asking her to repeat herself and she said she wasn't going to repeat herself.  She had all my personal information, although very old.  An old checking account and old employer.  She said that Paragon was pushing for my arrest on this unpaid loan but because she ran a background check on my and saw that I had not history she wanted to call and tell me that she would give me a chance to work pay her or she was going to sign off on the charges and I was already on the docket for court in the morning in Texas I think she said.  This loan was paid of in full in 2007 and I have a receipt showing this, but she said that the company I paid must of been a pirate company and since I didn't pay Elite Processing the money, I still owed it.   I paid Bass and Associates.
Funny thing is if you do an online search.......you will find that Paragon (which is no longer in business) used Bass and Associates to collect on their accounts.  And before I paid Bass any money, I called Paragon to verify who Bass was and call I-Debt for verify them.
They really do get you upset as they want you to pay them.  I called the US Department Justice, The Attorney General of Texas and filed a complaint with the trade commission.  They all told me that this is not how this works and you would never get a call to collect money if you were already on a docket for court.  She did admit that she was with a private company.......that's the thing.  An investigator for a company does not have the authority to stop charges if they are on a docket......only a Prosecuter can do that.  they said I owed 480.00 plus a whole crap load of fees totaling 1049.00.
I wouldn't and couldn't pay that even if I had it, but i does leave you with the worst thoughts in the back of my mind.  Oh.....,she also said they were going to call my work and tell them what was going on and have me detained at my place of work until they could come get me.  And the people that I put on the reference list would be pulled into it also.
I mean I am a single father of 3 and don't need to be harrased like this.
They called from 713-931-4704.

check my reply to angela on June 14th 2013

just wanted to mention that both of these phone numbers are listed as Ymax commumications.  They merged with Magic Jack.  What reputable company uses magic jack.  they only use this because they can take the number anywhere and call from there.


no one has responded to any of the posts so I am curious if anyone has had any more calls.  I haven't gotten any more.  But I am curious if it is because i have paid receipt from the company they claim to be calling for

i got another call today from 615-530-8709 claiming to be from department of Investigations casey warner, saying thmy needed a statement from me before they could release the charges to my county in my state of new jersey.  this number is again from, Ymax aka magic jack.  this one is tennessee.  the first ones were from texas and linda taylor told me that i was already on a court docket for the next day over a month ago.  now this casey warner is calling me from a number in tennessee saying she needs a statement to release charges to my county.  this is not the way it works in the legal sytsem.  and i looking into ways to findl them them and shut them down.  it is illegal to threaten anyone with charges or arrest unless you actuall a police officer or detective.  courts dont all you and ask for statements over the phone.  you get called to go down to a police station to do that. At the end of the message, i was told to govern myself accordingly and good luck if i didnt call her back.  The only thing that was different this time was she left a different case number in the message.  Probably because the one that they used the last time, was the one I had a paid receipt from.

FYI....................check fraud can only be associated with a hand written paper check, not an ACH....and if they attempted to withdrawl money from a closed account (closed for 6 years now) then they committed the fraud,, not me.  there has to be written consent to withdrawl money from sommeones account.  

Lets all keep leaving notes so we know how this scam evolved.  when I spoke to the US attorney general office, they told me that this is a second and third generation scam that evolves over  the years.
