Warning - Telemarketer Scam

Tweet

For those of you who have 'caller I.D., watch for a number to come up on your I.D. 1-662-690-2283 with the initials of f.c.s.i. It might also end with 2281 or 2280. the recorded message goes something like: "Hi this is Jim/James/whomever - we've being trying to reach you on an important matter. Please call -- - and an 800 number is given. When you don't respond, in a few weeks, they'll call again. We finally got about the 5th or 6th call in the past 3 weeks the other night, and the recorded message said if we didn't contact them, they'd have to: "Take it to the next level." I put the number into a Google search, and it is a bill collection agency out of northern Mississippi. I found some types of mesage forums, and one lady said she called them and they told her that she was delinquent on a bill, and they could help her take care of it. When they asked her for her Social Security number, she said that a 'flag went up.' I have gone to the F.C.C. governmental site, and turned in a complaint on them. If you've received one of these calls, what state are you in? Help warn folks. I am in Oklahoma.
