7602694176

ive been getting this call for my husband every day. even on my cell phone. i just hang up on them when they call my cell number. have no clue how they got that one. I let my home phone voice mail pick up when i see the number on my caller id. It is so annoying. This isnt the first time it happened to us.

They did the same thing to me yesterday and i called the FBI..

Thats the only thing am worried about, them having my ssn num..

Just as an FYI, everyone, I have attempted something that you might find interesting:

I have been reading through these posts almost daily for over a year now.  This whole scam irritated me in a unique way for some reason, and I have been hell-bent to try anything and everything I can to help stop anyone else being a victim or give them any more funding for whatever ilicit purposes they are involved in.

I have chosen numbers from random posts on this forum from other people.  Keep in mind that none of these numbers had ever contacted me!  I called back and started asking questions, acted a little bit worried and when they asked my name, I gave them a fake one (said I was Chuck U. Farley, which the humor was completely lost on them).  I would then hang up.  LITERALLY WITHIN 30 MINUTES I started receiving calls for Chuck U. Farley about a warrant for my arrest, a huge bill for a payday loan that wasn't paid, check fraud charges, etc.  Chuck U. Farley doesn't even exist, the name was an invention of my imagination, but they sucked onto it like leaches thinking it was yet another person they could scam out of money.  As soon as they had a phone number & name, a bad debt of outrageous porportions "magically appeared".

On that note, I agree that we seem to be getting nowhere with assistance from our own government.  I have filed complaints with every branch I can think of (& some new ones I found online).  There has been no response, action or resolution.  I have resolved to just keep trying to help as many as I can from sending their hard earned money, and for myself start seeing the humorous side of it all.  Here is a previous post I listed.  It may give you some good ideas on how to deal with them, but at the very least it should add a little humor to your day:

"Here's some more ideas to add in there:

They have started in with a new number now (760-269-4169), so the game begins again!  This time when the guy identified himself as an "officer", I told him he has called a crime scene and I started interrogating him.  He hung up after some stuttering and stammering.  Anyone who did not see my last post, here it is again with some more creative ideas on how to deal with these idiots:

"OK, first off, everyone CALM DOWN and don’t freak out about these guys.  No matter what they say or what they threaten, they CAN’T do anything to you.  I know every one of us has tried filing reports with law enforcement, FTC, FBI, ic3, etc.  It doesn’t seem to work, because these guys aren’t even in the USA.  So take a deep breath, relax and don’t let them ruffle your feathers.

Now, I started getting these calls about a year ago.  I have personally used all of the tactics below, and they do stop calling me for about 6 months…so the way I figure it, a little time out of my day to give them back a taste of their own medicine is worth it for 6 months of peace and quiet.  Keep in mind, as well, every minute you spend screwing with them on the phone is a minute they are NOT able to scam someone else.  (And the only way they will ever stop is if nobody pays them any money ever again!)  And now for the fun part—how to screw with them back.  I will start with the easiest and move up the line with the more time consuming:

If you have no time to mess with them:
a.    Just don’t pick up the line.  Let it go to voicemail and delete the message.
b.    Pick up the line and immediately hang up.  Keep doing it until they stop.
c.    Pick up the line and use an air horn or police whistle blown straight into the mouthpiece of the phone.  (I personally like the canned airhorn the best.)
d.    If they call while you are driving, turn the radio up as loud as possible and answer the line on speakerphone.  Don’t say anything, just let them listen to the blasting music.  Heavy metal music works best, but I personally have a CD with Star Spangled Banner on it, so I play that as loud as I can.  Just leave the line open with the music blasting until they hang up.

If you have a little more time to mess with them:
a.    Ask if they are related to the deceased (insert your name here as the “deceased”) or just a family friend, because “the viewing of the body if for family only, but the memorial service is open to everyone.”  Ask if they would like directions to the funeral.
b.    Simply tell them that you have read all about their scam on the internet & seen it on the news on TV, so you aren’t paying anything.  Don’t listen to any response, just hang up on them after saying this.
c.    Use this one only if you are willing to be as crude as they are:  Using the name they gave you (i.e., “Officer Mike Taylor” was the last one I got), say, “Is the this THE Officer Mike Taylor I read about on the internet?  Is it true what the posts online say, that you have such a small d**k that even camels won’t have sex with you?”  Then hang up on them.
d.    (For this one, I must first apologize to PETA and all vegans, but it highly offends the scammers because they consider cows to be divine beings.)  Tell them you don’t have time to speak with them, because you work at a slaughter house and you have over 100 cattle you need to “kill off” before the end off the day.  Then hang up on them.
e.    Are you good with theatrics?  Then try this one…it was actually highly effective for me:  Put on your deepest, scariest, growliest voice and just whisper into the phone over and over, “I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you, I command the demons to come for you…”.  Just keep whispering it over and over until they hang up.  I think this one worked well because they are quite superstitious.
f.    If you know a foreign language, answer the phone in it and just keep talking in unintelligible phrases.  The more obscure the language, the better.  Don’t know a foreign language?  Pig Latin seems to work just as effectively.
g.    Ask if they are calling from the convenience store, and can they give you last night’s winning lottery numbers, because you are sure you have won.  For any response they give to it, just keep yelling over and over, “I won! I won!”
h.    When you answer the phone, ask them where your pizza is and tell them because they didn’t get it to you in the “30 minutes”, you’re not paying for it.  Hang up.
i.    Tell them you are at work right now, but to call you back on your “home” phone, and give them this number: 202-835-0778.  (This is the scam and fraud reporting division number at the FBI.)  Hang up.

If you are REALLY p***ed off, and have plenty of time to screw with them:

a.    Go on to Craig’s List and post an ad in the wanted section or services section  saying you are looking for a payday loan company because you need a loan.  Ask they call you right away.  List the scammer’s name and phone number as the contact information.  (This sends the scum-sucking bottom feeders off to call the other scum sucking bottom feeders…LOL)
b.    Go online and look for every free daily horoscope, free insurance quote, free mortgage lending, etc., and click on the “have an agent contact me” link.  Type in the scammer’s name and phone number.  Viola!  Now they will get flooded with telemarketers as well.
c.    If you would like to blow off steam, and have no problem with swearing, just keep calling them over and over pretending you have Tourette’s Syndrome by just screaming obscenities in the phone until they hang up.  This works pretty good in the car, because no one else can hear you and it is a good tension reliever.
d.    Log onto these payday loan sites and enter all of the scammers’ information on it.  This way they might even wind up on their own list!
e.    (Do NOT attempt this one unless you have state of the art spyware & virus protection, and even then, you still are taking a risk):  Go into your spam folder on your computer.  Find every email you can about “you won millions of dollars” or “the Nigerian lottery” or something to that effect.  Send it back with all of the scammers’ contact information.
f.    Research for the phone numbers to both local and national TV news stations “breaking news desk”.  Again, tell the scammer on the phone to call you at your “work number” and give the number to the news station’s phone number.  (Hopefully, if the news stations get enough of these calls, they will start airing more stories about it, reaching more people and reduce the number of victims that fall for this.)

Again, before sending money to ANYONE, stop. Think.  Do you have any paperwork showing you owe money?  If not, ask for paperwork.  If they refuse to send it, they are scammers.  A real collection agency will always: 1. provide paperwork; 2. never yell or cuss at you; 3. never require you to pay first before receiving paperwork; 4. never identify themselves as an officer of law enforcement; 5. never threaten you with jail, arrest or physical harm.

Received a call today from someone telling me that I had a lawsuit against me and I would have to contact the Lawyer Michelle Brown @ 760-269-4179 because this was the first time I was being contacted and I had to call her for the information regarding my case. I called and she hung up on me because I wouldn't provide my work number.

this number keeps calling my home cell phone and place of employment and threating me claiminf i have debts i dont have and asking me to verify all my personal infomaton social security number birthdate mothers maiden name etc. etc. then when i say im not going to give any one all that informaton they yell at me threaten me and hang up on me. then continue to keep calling.none of them speak englidh but have over exagerated american names amada smith, kevin jones etc etc.

I just got the same call on my cell phone and work, he claimed I got a payday loan from them and when they tried to collect the funds were unavailable. I have not gotten a loan from them but thru another company and my payment isn't even due until next week. But my bank said a loan company by this same name tried to withdraw $31 from my account and it didn't clear. How can they be reported?

They keep calling saying that if I don't return there phone call right away good luck to me as the situations unfolds. If my attorney doesn't call good luck.

I got a call from this number at work and on my cell phone. I called back and got hung up on twice. Finally a middle eastern woman said ( this is a law office what do you want) told me i was going to be arrested on saturday for payday loan i had gotten many years ago.  could not tell me when and hung up on me.  My husband called back and they told him they wouldnt talk to him because he had them on speaker and hung up on him.  My neice called them and said she was me and they told her to watch out for the bomb in her house and to put a gun in her mouth and pull the trigger and then hung up on her when she said she was reporting them to homeland security.  What reputable company speaks to people this way when they call for information?  I was paniced until my husband found this on the web.

they told me the same thing today. scared the crap out of me.  I hope these [***] are found and arrested soon.  How dare they call my work phone and leave a message like this.

I received a call from this phone number threatening the same thing of a payday loan , i was freaking out also they read my ss# and employer to me.. Im kinda relieved it seems to be a scam but its ridiculous that people can get your information this easy!! Get a job like evryone else instead of trying to steal everyone elses hard earned money!!!

keep getting calls from this number claiming to be legal affairs calling on behalf of micheal carter....says i have a civil suit filled against me and then asked me about the last four of my social security number.....

here is a good place to file a complaint.
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
Stealing your SS number is a federal crime.
Also put a fraud flag on your credit files.
I have done both so if you are this company bring it on!
I have also alerted the IRS and Social Security.
I am now going to give my local police your phone number!
Call me again and the tape will be running.

I got the same call and did a search.  They are on switch number.  They have many.  Their provider is Verizon.  Gonna report them tomorrow as today is a national holiday.  This crap is gonna stop.  I advise everyone to call Verizon .  They are from Victorville California.  760-269-4176

I want to report this unwanted call.  760-269-4176.  They are lying to me saying I will be arrested, then when I tell them no I`m not, they start getting vulgar with me.  I have called Verizon, which is their server.  They say the more people that reports this, the better they can catch them and prress charges.  I just reported them.  you should also call the national no call list at 888-382-1222.  You must call from the phone you want blocked.  If after 31 days they call you again, they will be sued.  Customer service will block their number until the no call list goes into affect.  Hope this helps.  I am sick of this.
