Department of Law and Investigations Matt Johnson DEPT OF LAW AND INVESTIGATIONS HAS FRAUD REPORT FOR FURNITURE FRAUD!!! Lakeland, Florida
This morning i received a message on my phone from a Matt Johnson(whatever) from the Department of Law and investigation, with a thick Indian accent. He said that there was a fraud alert out against my son for furniture fraud, that I needed to call him back with all my information and my sons information so that "we could work it out.
I immediately knew it was a scam because of the way that he was talking. I could barely understand him.
I called him back and the number said that it was an out of country number, and could not be reached. I then used reversed phone number and got the city that the call was originated from, or so i thought. I then called the phone company in that city and told them about it, and they didn't really seem to care. Just a note, the lady that I talked to from the fraud department at the phone company had the same accent...hmmmm.
Frustrated with that, I called the number again and this time he answered. I told him that I had reported his number to the police, he started to laugh and asked me when are they coming to get me!!!!
This is outrageous, I hope that something can be done, so that some unsuspecting trusting people don't get ripped off by these people.

These a**holes are calling from Pakistan using fake American sounding names, their scam is To scare you into paying a Loan that doesn't exist.
Usually by saying they're Officer(Fake American Name) Obvious clue, the heavy accent, hard to understand, or cannot understand this (American Name) Officer?
Their Theft is to scare you by threats like "Have the police at your door" or "Warrant has been signed" or "You're in big trouble", "You've committed BANK FRAUD" or similar lies.
They usually say they're from "The Department of LAW and Investigation" ( Sound Familiar?) or similar scary FAKE NAMES (recently they used United Nations Law Division, and ACS Law division, and even more recently 1st IRS Legal Dept)
You're NOT in trouble, they're just good Liars, Pay them NOTHING, they're only Slimy thieves.
Recently they've been changing names at the speed of light, and they use a telephone relay so they look like they're calling in America, they're NOT.
This is another name, but the same scammers.
OR IF YOU WANT PROOF THEY'RE THIEVES Tell them to send you verification there's any "Debt" at all, if they start screaming at you, that's proof positive that they're just thieves.
When/if they call again tell them they're just thieves and hang up, they can't arrest you, It's just a scam.
Afellow poster recommended that you tell them you've put a "Death Hex" on them, I recommend it, make up all the details you wish, they did.
