Now they're calling me from a new number, 805-876-5159. When I picked up the phone and said "Hello" they instantly said "I'm calling to speak with Amy xxx(my last name)." Then I confirmed my name is Amy. Then they instantly went on to claim "I'm calling because I'm an officer of the law". I stated "ok, how may I help you". Then he stated with his heavy indian accent that he is an "officer of the law and works on behalf of a law firm". I instantly interrupted him and stated that "an officer of the law works at the police department & the FBI. Officers of the law don't work at law offices making phone calls to people about debts that they owe". Then he said "Excuse me". I repeated myself and stated once again, "an officer of the law doesn't work at law firms personally making phone calls to people who may or may not owe a debt, A officer of the law works at police departments or FBI offices" Then this guy with a heavy indian accent instantly hung up on me, lol! This is crazy. They are such scam artists and liars. I guess they must've got wind of it after all the reports I filed against their other number being "707-666-9613" I originally called Telekenex & then filed with the phone company their with, I filed with the FTC & I filed with the FBI.gov. - I called to check on the FBI report and apparently these folks in India have been going around doing this with other phone numbers scamming people. To submit a complaint/tip to the FBI about these fraudsters go to https://tips.fbi.gov/ and when you file your report online and be descriptive about what occurred between you and the scammer who called you.
Apparently the FBI is working on this and the direct link on their website to the "payday loan scam" is http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/paydayloanscam_120710/
If you want to call their field office is in DC at (202) 324-3691
They are calling this an extortion scam related to people who applied for payday loans.
Report any calls you get to the FBI because, although the us government can't "stop" them, with enough reports they can do more eventually and can work with other goverments to work toward eventually getting an effective resolution in place.
