ScamAlert - 10-14-2014

I received a call on my cell from a man (Scott Davis) claiming I was being sued for bank wire fraud and theft. He had my previous bank information and my email address. He claimed I could settle out of court for the amount owed of 1724.00. He then wanted to transfer me to a 3rd party. He stated if I did not pay the amount he and his client would file charges against me and I’d be assigned a public defender. I pushed for information from him such as the lawyers name, law office and their address as well as the clients name and ask he verify my mailing address. All information was fake and my mailing address was grossly inaccurate. Below are the numbers he called from and that I was able to call back and reach someone at.
573-207-4017 “Allen and Berk”, Scott Davis, Paralegal with pre-trial division
469-402-0540 “Ms. Walter” who would take my payment. Claimed to be with “Authorized.net”. Also received a call from Scott Davis from this number.
I call the 573-207-4017 and was able to reach a women named “Jessica” on 10/10/14. Jessica disconnected the line when I asked for specific information.
I called again and was told "Christopher Burke" would call me back. When I ran a search for a lawyer by that name I found one. I've contacted that office (who had no idea who I was) and notified them of the scam being run under his name. I’ve also filed a report with the FBI tip line and with the FTC as well as contacting my local news stations.
Lastly, the “real” Christopher Burke’s office called me back and stated when they (real law office) reached them (the scammers) and started asking questions they were hung up on. The law office stated that they also plan to follow-up on this.
