    I got a call today at my job from a 312 473 2924 heavy accented guy who went by the name Tom Edwards. He tried to say I had three serious crimanal charges. It was my lunch break so I told him I needed a call back number and I had to leave. He called back to back three times before I could get out the door. Upon comming back from lunch my co-worker had a note on my desk saying Tom Edwards called from Central Financial Services.  I decided to look up the company. Thank you to everyone who had this posting. Now I dare him to call me back today.

    OMG, thank you for this site. I had applied for a payday loan, and recieved no funding. Then a series of calls flooded in stating that if do not return the call soon that "The situation would unfold around me", Always in a middle eastern accent. Sometimes they say they are from the FBI,  or Department of Justice that I would be arrested. They got very angry when I asked them from what companies did I owe money to? How much? Etc...Cuz I didn't recieve Any money!!! Fred Johnson (631) 898-1011 saying he was from Professional Credit Service was the latest. Then Alex ? wouldn't give a last name claiming to be from Cyber crime unit for the FBI, Then agent Thomas Day, and Mark Robinson. God who are these people couldn't understand them. Makes me very angry!

    Scam on Indian Reservation
    A middle-eastern accent guy has been calling people on the Indian reservation in Arizona saying they won money, tv or car. The guy goes by various names and asks people to send him money via Western Union to receive the prize.  Some have actually sent the money, sad to say.

    Middle Eastern is not a race, it's a geographic location.

    This is true, but no one talks about "geographic profiling" or "geographic baiting" or "playing the geography card".

    I just got off the phone with some people that claimed to be from the FBI criminal agency. I spoke to 2 people. 1 male, 1 female.
    I didn't get the males name, but his badge # 98452. The woman claimed her name was Christine Mathews Badge #: 42401.
    All they kept saying is that they've been handed a notice from the IRS. Saying that I owe back taxes from 2012. Not just that overtime I would ask questions they would just repeat the same [***]. saying they have all of my information and that if I don't pay I'm going to jail for 3 years. Asking me to pay pay a sum of $2,200.00 . They stated that if I don't stay on the recorded line they will issue a warrant for my arrest, and that I will have to go to court and defend myself. I was worried because I have a family. I would hate for them to see me go to jail. Not just that the person who called said I was a "citizen". I am not a citizen, I'm a permanent resident. So that's kind of where I knew that something was off. Be cautious of this number (781) 259-6851 (from Massachusetts)

    It's not racist it is Indians and they told the stands all the time they scam older Americans and they are scum.  Of course not all Indians from India or scam but the Indians that do this are if they were Americans I'd called them the same thing .
