Department of Law and Investigation Scam by Department of Law and Investigation Columbus, Ohio
I received a phone call at 4:56pm from a gentleman by the name of Ronnie Williams, claiming to be from the Department of Law and Investigation for the Federal Government. He left a message stating that I was being sued for fraud and that I needed to contact him as soon as possible. I could barely understand what he was saying, so I had to replay the message several times to put the words together. He had a very heavy accent...Pakistan Accent I believe. He left the number 1-303-578-5558. I called him back and he had all of my information...Phone #, address, ss#, date of birth, and work info. He told me he would read me the information and that I was not to interupt him. He told me that there were 10 Lawyers that were listening in. He started out by asking me if I knew John Doe( that is the actual name he used). When I tried to ask a question he would tell me not to interupt. He told me I had a choice to either settle or go to court, which would end up making me pay up to 6,000 dollars. I said that I didn't want to go to court, but didn't understand what this was for. I asked what this loan company was and he just said Cashnet, which serves over 200 loan companies. When I asked him the number to Cashnet, he said that they would not talk to me. I then asked, how much the loan was for and he said 350.00. I then asked, what the date of the loan was and he said he didn't have that info. He then told me that I would need to write a statement of Authorization, with my name, last 4 of my SS#, Debit Card #(they would only take a credit card), exp date, CVS#, billing address, and contact #. He said that I would have to write that I authorize ACS to deduct the amount of 827.00, and that I would not dispute the charges. He stated that I would need to fax this to the courthouse. When he gave me the fax number(1-303-200-7175). I asked why would I send it to them if I was supposed to send it to the courthouse. He stated that I was to send it to nobody but him. When I hung up, I called my bank, and they showed no deposits for 350.00. I also looked at my statements online and there was no deposit for that amount all year. When I called him back, the phone just rang and then went busy. He called me back immediately. I asked him what the name of the company was and he stated again that it was the Dpt of Law and investigation. I asked what his company name was he stated that they didn't need one. I told him that I had contacted my bank and showed no deposits for that amount of money, and he got mad and said I wasted a lot of his time. I then hung up the phone. I did contact my place of employement to let them know, b/c he stated that he would send the affidative to them and that I would lose my job. I didn't know who to contact, because all of the state offices were closed at this point. I will contact the Attorney General Office tomorrow and the local FBI office. I hope the numbers that I have for the phone and Fax can help locate these people. They need to be held accountable for the laws that are being broken.
