I received a call from this number stating that they were with the federal bureau of investigation; some arabic speaking man answers when you call back....stating need to speak with me asap! They claim it's a Tom Cooper! Claim they will call you back ! They are a scam. I have turned mine over to the police department.

Did thEy say they would file charges as well ?

He called me and said all the same things & that he was sending police to come get me. He had my whole social # which realyl freaked me out. This is a scam, right? Ive herad his name before & others of the same ie...tom cooper john cooper, i think its all a scam myself but its scary.

Heavily accented man says that he needs to speak to me concerning a legal matter.  Comments included a vague threat of further action, but the details were unintelligible.  Says he is Tom Cooper.  By his tone of voice he is obviously trying to frighten me...

I have a few words for him, but won't waste my breath or my time.

Received a call Friday 1/4/2013 from a heavily accented man that stated his name was Officer Tom Cooper from the Federal  Credit Bureau of investigations. He gave my last four of my SS# and said it was imperative that I contact them immediately to avoid further legal consequences and that if I didn't return his call he would take it as if I were intentionally running from this debt. He said in that case he wouldn't be responsible for any future legal problems I have and that he wished me luck. I have had these same type of calls in the past. I ignore them or tell them to send me proof of any debt they believe I owe in writing. I also tell them to go ahead and take me to court as I would be more than happy to meet them there and have my Attorney file a complaint and have them charged with harassment and possibly even fraud for insinuating that they are some type of police Officer with an office of the Federal government. It really doesn't help to make a formal complaint as these "people" are almost impossible to track. They use a bank of rental numbers that they change every few days.

Heavily accented man says he needs to speak with me concerning a legal matter.  He states that he
is from the federal credit bureau.  He says his name is Tom Cooper.  He had my social security number and he stated the last 4 numbers. He keeps harrassing me.  He trying his best to get payments from and frighten me.

I just received this call from stating to call them ASAP, do not ignore the call that if I do they will send a police officer to my door to arrest me.  Who are these people and how do I report them>

These people are insane! Grrr...I have been getting these calls for the past couple of days and they are driving me crazy...Anything that it can be done to report them?

Received a call Friday 1/10/2013 from a heavily accented man that stated his name was Officer Tom Cooper from the Federal Credit Bureau of Investigations. Said it was imperative that I contact them immediately to avoid further legal consequences and that if I didn't return his call he would send Officers. If he calls back, I will tell them to send me formal paperwork both to me and my Attorney. I am considering contacting The PA State Police regarding fraud for insinuating that they are some type of Officer with the Federal government.

Received a call Jan 9 for an employee here at a Federal place of business.  I told him I would give the message to the person.  They have been calling here for over a year....  The person was not working that day.  He proceded to tell me if they did not call they would go to jail....  A federal place of business, when I hung up on him, he called back. three times.  When I told him I was connecting him to my sup he was gone.  His name was Sergeant Tom Cooper.....

I just got several threatening calls from the so called FBI. But after repeated heated conversations he(Tom Cooper - fake) said they are the FBCI (scam). He gave me his badge #(fake). Explained that I owed $8,600.00 and could be settled out of court for $396.00(big, big lie) I refused to pay anything and notified them that I am actually a Government Employee and I had just reported this to the local FBI branch. The man yelled at me with his non-American accent and promised I would be in jail by the end of the day. Well, I'm still a free man. Next time they call I will tell them that Allah took the money, get it from him lol...

Just to be clear - most of these scams come from India, or Asia, but mostly India. The faith in India is hindu.

Ooo... Well, I gues we will leave Allah and Muhumad alone so they can enjoy their roast pork and focus on insulting the one million or gods that Hindus have. Thanks for clearing that up.

I too have received a call from this Officer Tom Cooper, who said that I owed some money and that he would have police officers come to my home and send me to jail over some pay day loan that I do not have also threatened to send me to court. I have all the taped conversation. This man would not send me any information to verify that I even did a pay day loan, and he became very combative. What do I need to do to see that they never call me again.

Hello Lisa,

Thank you for that input. He just talked with me, but I know my situation, I am under an identity theft. He threatened to put me in jail. They cant do that! It sounded like a scam.

i got a call from this idiot today, called me twice it came up on my caller i.d. as 911 when i went to answer it i had to push the send button twice. I have had calls from this nut case for the past 4 years. just hang up. as a general rule if you do not know the number do not answer. he has told me that he was coming to my house i told him  come on to my house i will give him a real southern welcome , with a shot gun in hand and fully intending to use it on his dumb a**, little does he not know i do not own a gun but he stopped calling me for about 2 weeks. the next time he called i told him that i am not going to finance irans firearms or any other means of hurting innocent people. to day he threatened to have the police come to my house at 6pm. i hate to tell him i still have the phone conversation on my phone and i had stopped at the police departments office on my way home to let them hear the message that was left for me. they said do not answer the phone unless it is a number from family and friends.

it is a scam. it has been going on for some time. they tryed the same thing with me

I too received a call today from a agent Tom Grooper might have been Cooper very heavy accent, telling me I had to return call ASAP, I had federal charges filed  against me and I would be arrested at my house, Called back, was very insistant on immediate resolution to debt from payday loan, Have had some  payday loans over 5 years ago and think I paid them all off. Said I owed 786 dollars, which had to be paid immediatly, I said I did not have. Agreed to take 150 now and the rest on next payday. Were very threatening and scary.   Wanted a Western Union within 2 hours, I said wanted the information of where to western union up front but they said to call back when I was at the location. Did call back at WU location, and they told me to WU green form, money in minutes box checked, to a Mary Graham  in Queens NY. I questioned the WU location since I know NY is not 779 area code. They stated that she was the attorney who was holding my file, and they were out of Jacksonville FL. I asked why she did not contact me herself and they said she is way to busy to make these phone calls. I did not send the money because it sounded fishy to me. I went to work tonight and tried google searching all the information I had been given. Have not forund a Mary Graham attorney in NY, There phone number on reverse search comes from Belvidere IL from a YMAX Communications Corp. And the FBI website does not have a credit investigations department that I have found yet. I will report them to the real FBI in the morning for impersonation of federal agants.

I just got the greatest voicemail today.  I got a call from officer tom cooper and he told me that they have called me a number of times and that now they were going to have me arrested.  Let me tell you something.  I know from talking to the police and to a lawyer that they CAN NOT have you arrested. If you do owe money they can take you to court but good luck with them doing that and getting money. THIS IS A SCAM DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE! I know for fact one that the police department has better things to do then this. I know a police officer and he said the same thing. You can report it but they really can't do nothing about it because they change their numbers all the time. BE SMART DONT ANSWER THE PHONE
THIS IS A SCAM! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a phone call from this number a few minutes ago, and some indian guy asked to speak to me, and I said "she isn't available right now", and he proceeded to tell me good luck and that i would be arrested
