US Financial Crime Department-Officer Roy Wilson Officer Roy Wilson Said my SS# was tied to a large number of crimes that were piling up and they needed to hear from me before police came to my work. Baden, Pennsylvania
"Officer Roy Wilson" (heavily accented individual-possibly middle East??),calling from 724-241-8129 called my work phone (I work in NY, his phone number he left is a Baden,PA number). His message to me was that he had a large case pending against me with the United States Investigation Bureau, showing that my SS# is tied to multiple frauds. I must call him at once, before Police come to my work. If I do not call, he wishes me luck and for me to hire a good attorney.I called the number, and a woman said "hello", no formal greeting. She asked what number I received the message at and what my name was. She said Officer Roy Wilson was in a meeting and she couldnt give out any information on my serious case. She confirmed that the office I called was indeed "US Financial Crime Dept", and that Officer Wilson will call me back within 15-30 mins. I believe this whole thing is a scam. It all seems to weird to me, the way they handled themselves on the voicemail and when I called.

hahahah that's funny and the US financial Crime Dept. is a real side splitter. I have worked for the federal government for over 25 years and I have never heard of these agencies.
And the term "officer" used instead of agent or special agent is a giveaway. Turn over the number and names to interpol and tell them to get a good lawyer.

These people are located outside of the US - your information is important to fight these losers. If/when these scumbags call back tell them YOU know it is a scam and hang up!

I believe this whole thing is a scam. It all seems to weird to me, the way they handled themselves on the voicemail and when I called.***Additional information: They have called back 2 more times today using (425-406-3941 and
248-644-6103) as their phone numbers. This time the voicemails left were more threatening. They said if I didnt call them back my SS# will be blacklisted. Also this time, the officer that called, he said his name was Frank Johnson. This Frank Johnson person said that I had received a EFT of Money to my chase Manhattan account and that when they tried to collect, the funds were not there. Totally not true. That has been a closed account for years. Someone must have a hold of my old account info. Unfortunately, these people have my social security number, full name address, and work info, and it is upsetting that they have been able to retrieve all of that.I hope this info helps someone else.
