Below will be a story that I put up at a web site called "who calls me?" I will also put the website at the end of this discussion so you can see the other stories that have happened to other people. But this all came to a boil on friday afternoon. LOL!!! My S/O's mother got the call from them and they gave her originally a 607-428-0037 to call back they harrassed and threatened her that she would be implicated in this and that she had to appear for court on the following week and she did give them our number when they called here they left a different number than they gave her they gave us this 408-404-3021. The first guy told her that his name was Sean Miller . When my BF called back they told him that they were the United Investigations Agency .. They also told him that the police were on there way to arrest him for internet fraud. Then the guy that he called said that he needed to pay 900 to settle this. When my bf told him that he didn't have that kind of money the guy then lowered it to 600. My bf continued with he doesn't have a credit card or Checking account the guy got frustrated said he was transferring him to the person who was at the courthouse right now since the hearing was today. So those two tihngs didn't match for me and I pointed this out to my other half. He then was transferred and was speaking to Travis who then lowered it down to 300.00. Does that sound a little desperate to you to have them drop 600 dollars in a matter of less than an hour. When my boyfriend asked what court house Travis was in so he could drop of the money at the court house since they stated that they were in our state he got really defensive and stated that he was trying to help him and that he was treating him as some sort of scammer. My bf talk to him a bit more and then hung up I prompted him to call the attorney general in our area to find out if this was a scam going around. The attorney general said that they would look into it and not to pay them any money and that they were sending out some paper work for him to fill out on this call. During this whole time I was searching the net and doing a reverse phone look up and searching the number I found out the the first number given was 607-428-0037 from Paetec communication Inc, in cortland Ny the secod number was the 408-404-3021 this number shows a california number for global Crossing Loacal Services Inc, in San Jose, CA in Santa carla county. They also at one point in the conversation before being transfered to Travis said that they were with BMG payday loans. I looked that up and this is the link that I got for that http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/forums/pdl-bmg-1.html seems that they are really scamming just about everyone. After my BF spoke with the attorney general he wanted to get more information and called back and was given this fax number 347-438-4332(which happens to be a Flushing , Ny #) to send then the dates, name on the card, billing address,16 digit card # , exp date on the card, and the security code on the back of the card. He then again question and Travis got angry my BF ended up hanging up on him. then tried to called all 2 numbers and the same guy answered each time giving a different name. This is a major scam in my books I would call your attorney general and then you local and maybe state police and report this. They seemed to have a lot of non current information and are trying to get the current information most likely to steel your identity or to get money from you. http://www.mylot.com/o/newdiscussion.aspx?q=5_9028 Upon continued research we have found out that the company had been sued more than a couple times due to the threats that they have made. Also with the type of threats they have down they have violated not only the TLCP guideline but the FTC guidelines which make any contract that you had with them null and void. You must though take down the time of the call and what was said specifically the threats that they have said. when you click on the site provided they went as far as telling a woman 9yr old son that she murdered someone and was going to jail and she needed to call back this number. These people are dispicable. I hate anyone who can do that to a child. So what do you think the should be done to this company?

Obviously someone needs to be arrested. This is just too horrible for anyone to be doing. These people need to be shut down and go to jail.

I understand that the US Navy are always looking for ships to practice their torpedo skills on. I think that they should be condemned to crew one if the targets. If the subs etc miss them. Then they can do life in some hell hole prison in the middle of a swamp. Otherwise, goodnight Vienna. Those sorts of people are so low, they a positively subterranean Bella.

The scammers are becoming more and more bold with the actions that they are taking to try and get money off innocent people. They play on fears and know exactly what they are doing. It is not on and they will rip off a lot of people this way. I am quite shocked to read your story, and also somewhat frightened too. I shall certainly be on my guard, for even though I do not live in your Country it does not mean to say that it will not happen here.

One person tracked them down through the one phone number I listed and they found that the company is based in India so your thinking that it might come to yours is correct I don't think any country is safe really. I'm just surprized that they are able to get away with this type of scare tactic. I feel bad for the poeple that actually gave money to these people.
