Had this SAME thing happen to me today. I"ll break it down in as much detail as possible for future victims. It got pretty intense actually.
My "friend" sent me a voicemail they received on their phone from a private number today. It stated some documents were on file for me and they wanted to send them to "my friends" address. I'm not sure how they got my "friends" address, home number, or anything...very creepy. No credit connections to this person or anything. Anyway, the message like everyone listed above was similar and said to call this number: 909-456-1879. The number seems almost the same between these comments and a few other websites, the last 4 digits seem to change around. I called and was transferred to a gentleman by the supposed name of "Steven Darwin". Steven was nice at first. He named some age old delinquency I had which is not on my credit and which I shared with someone else. However he said it was only on my name (clue 1 that this is crap). Two, says they mailed an "offer" letter in July and I never responded. I asked him the address, he named an old address of mine. I said I don't live there, can I get a new offer letter. He said it was too late and they were on their way to serve me papers tomorrow. I freaked out naturally. He had my SSN, several addresses. He continue to say this amount and that amount. Wanting me to pay him over the phone about $2300 OR so. I said I need a letter. He got aggressive I hung up on him. I got a fax number called him back, he Kept mumbling the company name everytime I asked so I couldn't quite get it down. (I later found out that name on here from you guys). I asked if he could fax me the document. He REFUSED and said not till you give me a payment. I said "so let me get this right, you won't let me have any papers saying who you are or what this about until I pay you?" He said "absolutely 100% accurate". I said I believe this is a scam. He proceeded to insult me and belittle me. He stated reasons why this isn't a scam. (clue 2: anyone who is legit wouldn't' need to defend themselves this hardcore).
I hung up on him saying I would have my attorney call him. While I was on another phone conversation he called me (this time from the 909-456-1879 number. (clue 3: why didn't they just call me from this number before instead of blocked?) . I answered, he began fussing that I was rude so he said "I wont be trying to help you any further so dont' bother having your attorney call." I asked him if he SERIOUSLY called me just to tell me that. He said yes, I informed him this is harassment and he is not to call my phone ever again. Well he listened, BUT I got other phone calls.... I might also note* I never verified any information w/ these people...seems if they were legit they would have verified information from me first.
Approx an hour later or so, I got a call from a 949-468-1640 number. I can't seem to find anything about them online but it was a lady saying something to the effect of, "we received a case on you and wanted to see how we should proceed forward". I hung up immediately.
About 2 hours later, I received a call from a WEIRD 8 digit number 46156462. I answered and this lady asked for me. I said she had the wrong number. She immediately said, well THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. This phone is LISTED through the phone company to 'my name'. (clue 4: no cell phone provider lists your name attached to your number PUBLICLY.) I advised she had the wrong number and to please quit calling me. I hung up.
2-3 minutes later she called back!!!!! I couldn't believe it...from the same weird 8 digit number. I said what do you want, I told you, you have the wrong number! She said This is a "X" wireless number. She got the carrier correct but you can look that up based off a number online. I said I don't care, it isn't me. She said, well that's fine, just have a valid ID ready when we come to your door tomorrow (she named my address) (clue 5: weird how they have my address but HAPPENED, to mail the offer letter to a previous address).
That is the last I heard, I guess if I don't go to jail i'm a free convict.... This is weird stuff...I'm not sure what to do. Have any of you had any follow up regarding your situations? How can we stop these people and how did I get picked!???
