Complaint 65643 Details

Person claiming to be Kevin Smith from the "Bureau of Criminal Investigation" called my job on Monday and talked to the secretary/receptionist and told her they were investigating me for fraud. It scared her to death. I was actually at work on job #2 when they called and couldn't take her call so she text me and gave me the information. Told me they said I must contact them immediately. First call(s) came from 888-709-8647. I called on my break. Told the girl I didn't borrow any money from these people and she said, "I guess you need to retain an attorney" and hung up. They called first thing the next morning and I told the guy to send me copies of the paperwork that I had signed borrowing this money. He told me he "didn't have to prove anything to a criminal". I did go off the deep end and tell him I was not a criminal and that if I borrowed the money he would have signed paperwork and would fax it to me to show me that I owed it. Tried to talk to him but I was mad and when I would say something about them proving it to me he would tell me he was going to just have me in court. Went so far at one point as to tell me I would be "crying in front of him within 24 hours as he would have my job". Well, I love my job and I am a bookkeeper in a public school system so that was the wrong thing to say. Every time I tried to talk to them they would hang up. I called Verizon and had the number blocked. I called them several times that day saying, "send me paperwork" and they would hang up on me. Did report them to local authorities but officer said he couldn't get them to answer their phones. I called yet again on Monday afternoon requesting an address to "send money to" and guy refused to give me an address. When I asked for address he wanted my phone number and I again asked for his address. Then he asked for my name. I again asked for his address. He refused to give me address and I refused to give him name. I know it was stupid but I had fun giving them he__. He finally asked me if I was impossible and I told him no but if they called my job again I would hunt them down and sue their a__es off cos of my job. So everything was quiet until Thursday morning when they called yet again from another number. Claimed to be Michael Scott. Number was 347-772-3394. Was again told that they didn't have to "prove anything to a liar". Was furious so had to take time to cool off then called them back. Funny thing, I called not the 347 number but the 888 number and asked for Michael Scott and the "Senior Attorney Jeff" never told me there was no Michael Scott working there. He just wanted my name. So I gave him my name and asked him when this money was deposited into my account. He gave me date and MY BANK ROUTING NUMBER AND ACCOUNT NUMBER. I told him the money was never deposited. He responded, "Yea right" and hung up. So I called the local authorities again and this time got an officer who would at least do something. He called me later that afternoon and told me he had contacted these people and told them if they were legitimate then ok but if they weren't then to leave me alone. He said the guy tried numerous times to hang up but the officer wouldn't let him. Said he talked to him rough and the guy finally promised not to ever call me again. We will see. It has only been two days since the last call but I will see if I get any more calls. My suggestion for calls like this is to get your local authorities involved and push them to put a stop to it. They can do it if they will take the time. DO NOT send them any money. They actually (from what I have read---I never got this far with these people) don't want you to send them money...they want you to load money on a prepaid Wal-Mart card and then call them before you activate it. If you will check out US Cash website there is a disclaimer at the bottom stating that they will never contact you by phone regarding your advance. Also, look up the numbers you get these calls from...you would be surprised at the number of complaints that these people have against them. I even discovered that one of the people that has filed a complaint against them is none other than Kevin Smith himself lol. Imagine that. BEWARE of listing your information on the internet. Also, the officer told me on Thursday that anything under a 17 digit password can be hacked in 17 minutes...time to update the passwords and be very caring in how you do it.
