I, too have received numerous calls at my work from this man. Today was the final straw. He called at least 7-8 times in a row, one call after another. I finally called our state Attorney General's office and was referred to our state Department of Finance. I explained to a very helpful and informative gentleman my situation and he suggested I file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, which I intend to do immediately. This gentleman called the number the jerk left before I hung up on him and really rattled his cage! I got some satisfaction from that. I hope eventually he finds a real job.

I was contacted today by these people. I refused to confirm information he had, which was my personal information. My friend does debt collection law and I remembered from her never to confirm the information. They are calling you. They have the information. I hung up on the guy and called back. There is music when they put you on hold and then alot of noise in the background. I tried to get information from the guy, including the name of his company and the phone number, which he did not want to give me. When I checked them on line I knew it was a scam because the phone number was the same as another entry. I contacted my local police department and my social security office. I am going to contact the FBI as well.

I recieved a call today at work from a man of aarabian background definetly not english decent. He asked me my name and gave me the last four digits of my ss#. He stated that he needed to transfer me and I could here him pushing buttons on a telephone and then he kept coming on and saying my name and hit some more buttons on the phone. I hung the phone up on him as I was at my job and I work in an emergency room. He immediately called me back and started yelling that I had hung up on him. He then states his name is Travis Griffin (this was the same guy that called me). He told me that he was an attorney and then later on said he was a top investigator. He told me that he had filed charges against me with the attorney generals office in my state and that I was going to jail for six months. He read off my ss#, my old address, my old bank name, my relatives names, and my drivers license number and then said and "I cancelled that today because your going to jail for 6 months". He told me that he froze my SS# with the US government. He told me he was representing a company called Midland Marketing. He went on for about five to ten minutes of threatening me with going to jail and that it would cost me $35000 to get out of jail. He told me that the police would be at my workplace in two hours to take me to jail and that I had to be in court at 11 am tomorrow. He told me that I needed to pay him $920 today and al the legal matters would be dropped. He told me I was ruining my life and I would not see my children in 6 months. I told him he was crazy and he started yelling at me and told me I was trying to act like his boss. I asked him what was a good contact number to call him back at and he told me 607-330-0158. I had lived in NY for 19 years prior to moving to Florida and I knew that this was a NY area code. He kept yelling at me and I hung up the phone on him..I received another phone call about two minutes later from a man identifying himself as Johnathan Lloyd. I asked him if he was calling me from the same office as Travis Griffin(I knew this was the same guy on the phone just giving different names) and he stated that I refused to pay $920 so he had my file on his desk to start the legal proceedings that Travis had explained to me. I am contacting the attorney generals office in NY to report this scam. Hope no one else falls for it. If you have a bank acct that he read off to you I strongly suggest closing the account and getting a new account number.

Just a couple of days ago. A man with a strong arabic accent called me threatening me saying if I didn't come up $1400.00 by the end of the day I would be sent to federal prison for two years for fraud. I did take out two payday loans online back about four years ago. They were for $300.00 each, I know I repayed one off but not the other. But this man on the phone would not give me any information about those companies so that I could contact them myself So like a dummy I did give my bank card information, so that he could take out a payment. Then I called the police dept. and the FBI, they said NEVER give out my bank information over the phone. And to somehow get in touch with those companies and make payment arrangements. ( which I am trying to do but I don't remember the names of those companies & i'm not sure how to find them.) The FBI agent told me to call my bank and cancel that bank card (which I did). But I still don't know if these people really are a collection agency. And i'm wondering if I could be arrested for not taking care of this bill/bills sooner.
