Complaint 304871 Details

This "law firm" called MY WORK and tried to get a hold of me. Seeing a missed call around the same time I called them back and talked to a heavy Indian accent male. He told me to keep calm and quiet and listen to him before speaking. He then proceeded to tell me I had a lawsuit filed against me and face three felony charges for fraud because of an unpaid loan. Starting to freak out ( divorcing an abuser this is something he'd do to me with my SS)I ask questions about exactly what it is I supposedly owe and what for. He became irate and told me "it doesn't seem you want to settle this I am sending the officer to you now to arrest you" I told him no and to explain to me what the hell this was. He explained he already explained clearly and "best of luck to me and going to jail for 6 months". I then received a call LOCALLY a 619-956-4000 to be exact and a woman introduced herself as officer Campbell or something like that. She said and I quote " Ma'am it appears to me you know exactly what is going on and you need to follow direction or pay the consequences. I heard the entire conversation you had with Mr. (Whatever) and you need to settle this now over the phone or you can settle it with me now face to face. You have 2 minutes to call him back now and settle it or else." While she was threatening I googled the 619 number and brought back results of the sheriffs station DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE!!!! immediately freaking out MORE I called back this (Personal Information Removed) and said ok what do I do? He directed me to tell my boss I had a family emergency and must leave immediately. I did. He directed me to keep him on speaker so "the judges can hear properly". He directed me to get in my car withdrawal the 1,010 dollars (my "charges + 47.00 fee") I did. He directed me to a CVS to pick up the Green dot money pak cards and load $500 on two. He told me to leave the store get back in my car, scratch off the back and read him the numbers. Reading the warning about being a scam if someone asks these numbers I tried to stall saying I couldnt read them. He SCREAMED at me to read him the numbers and then the 619 number flashed on my phone on and off again. Terrified single mother to a 17 month old I had to pick up in a couple hours I read him the numbers. Lost $1,000 and cried my eyes out. He directed me back to work and said "the judges are not accepting this payment as you have 6 more counts you did not tell me about" We need $2,020 more dollars now or you will be blacklisted forever and you will never have good credit again. I at this time said I don't have that I gave you everything I have and he said "FINE the officer will come get you now the check will be mailed with your $1000 and you will do the time instead. Good Luck to you." Shaking with ultimate fear and emotion because my Aunt had already sent me that money to pay rent and make a car payment I started on my way to pick up my son. I notified police and was actually on the news to warn others about this scam call. If I had not been in the situation I am at the moment with a psycho ex and court and custody and law enforcement I would not have fallen for it. The whole time I knew it was fishy but I really didn't know what they could do with having all my info already they had my address, DL # , SS, Computer IP address and my Account number and bank name! So yes I am embarrassed and feel stupid but also relieved it is over. Yes I lost money and yes my family is pissed but WHAT ELSE COULD THEY HAVE DONE IF I DIDN'T FOLLOW DIRECTION? is what im trying to get across. I needed that money.. I already feel like dying inside. Don't judge me. I was terrified and in a very vulnerable state. They knew that. Thats whats terrifying SHUT THESE (Inappropriate Content Removed) DOWN! I want my money back and I want them TO SUFFER!!! They ARE NOT in the U.S. and I will never receive that. FML RIGHT?
