I’ve seen many people say the same but wanted to share my experience. “ location services “ called me in regards to my boyfriend. Stating I needed to call a certain number. - (The reason I am bothered is because they were trying to threaten that they were instructed to speak with his job and speak with his supervisor for his location.) - proceed to speak as if something serious was against me which their shouldn’t be. so i called I usually do not but I was left a voicemail that seemed serious in tone and detailed. the case number pulled him Up but they wanted to speak with him and didn’t say what it was in regards to. My mom believes it was a scam immediately. Made me feel uneasy knowing something could potentially be affecting my life I’d ignore. I blocked their number after reading these stories they’re identical. I feel better below is what I was told in voicemail.

“ “_?_?_?_?_?_?_?_ this is Brittany Jones contacting you in regards to your claiming _?_?_?_ _?_?_ _?_?_?_ county followed you I can make you a _?_?_?_?_ _?_?_ was file number is 676821 _?_?_?_ _?_ the county it has _?_?_?_?_?_ a matter of public record and there is an order for your location to talk it _?_?_?_ reach you by phone today Mr. I have an _?_?_?_?_?_?_ _?_ contact your employer and speak to your supervisor because it looks _?_?_?_?_?_?_?_?_ to your life in place of location Mr. ?_?_ legal right to contact our office that is processing your claim however you want to speak with them before your claim is filed _?_?_?_?_?_ _?_?_?_?_ _?_ _?_?_?_?_?_?_?_?_?_ _?_ the office all of your legal rights will be forfeit in the _?_?_?_?_ are _?_?_?_?_?_?_?_ _?_?_?_ office 855-322-9442 associates _?_?_?_ that you're going _?_ need to speak with the legal department did you're basically notified by telephone and you will be locating less I'll give _?_?_ further instructions…”

Three different numbers called my cell phone. One number called me twice. When I called two of the numbers, I was greeted with the same robo-call phone tree telling me that I was "eligible for student loan forgiveness" and to "press 1 to stop receiving notifications" or "press 2 to continue." I pressed 1 on the first number and hung up. I pressed 2 on the second number and talked to an individual who told me I was eligible to receive student loan forgiveness. He then asked me if I had student loans over $10,000 (which I said yes to) and if I had a source of income (which I said yes to). I then asked him why he was calling me and was told "we are acting in the service of your lender to determine your eligibility for student loan forgiveness." I then asked him where he was calling me from and who he worked for and he hung up on me. The whole thing seemed incredibly suspicious and I refused to give him any personal information. I never even gave him my name. I am well aware that student loan lenders do not use local telephone numbers (at least I would hope) and representatives do not refuse to say where they work.

This man called me asking me about my roof and letting me know about a free roof inspection. Since I needed a new roof, I listened and decided this could be the first quote I got. The man asked me a series of questions. The only information he got from me was my address and email. We set up an appointment for 9am the next morning for him to come and do the inspection. At the end he asked if I would be willing to “keep an open mind” about allow in the roof inspector to work with me about insurance coverage. I relectantly said ok and thought maybe this was a question asked by all roofing companies. The next day 9:00am came and he did now show. About 15 minutes passed and I called (no answer, no company name- just a generic basic voicemail). I also texted the number. I never received any response. Now that I am reflecting on this, I think this was a scammer that wanted my email and address. When I googled the phone number there were only 3 records and none were a roofing business. Beware of calls from this phone number asking to give a roofing inspection.

I just received a phone call from a number that said SPAM RISK. I didn't answer but they left a VM stating that they were looking for a return call. I called them back and spoke with Sherbert who said that back in 2017 I had applied for a Check N Go and didn't pay it back and with the fees & interest I had to pay over $1200.00. The loan was taken out in 2017 in Columbia, MO. I moved to Columbia in 2018. I stopped him and explained that I need all the information from the Check N Go so I could attach it to the police report that i was going to file for an acct with BOA that sometime tried to open in my name. He kept cutting me off and I kept cutting him off because all I needed was the information sent to me so I could add it to the police report. He said he wasn't going to talk over me and if I didn't want to resolve this, then he was hanging up. I said I have nothing to resolve, I need the information. He hung up. I called back and he answered and I said I need that information please. He hung up again. I called back and spoke with another person and explained what happened and that I needed the information to attach to the police report. He asked me to hold and hung up on me. I have tried to call back but the line rings busy which means they blocked my number. I googled Check N Go and spoke with Kathy in the collections department who confirmed that none of my information is in their system and she can go all the way back to 2008

Tech Support Scam

My issue started approx. 4 years ago when I got a pop-up on my employers computer stating that the computer was locked up. It gave me a number to call to get the help I needed to resolve the issue. I do not know that number at this time. I called and spoke to fast talking male with a heavy Indian accent and convinced me that it was my fault that this lock up happened because I had been accessing YouTube from time to time. That got me very paranoid because it was my employers computer and like a fool I let him access the computer to "fix" the issue. I watched as he installed some security programs. When he was done he told me that I was being charged $199 for his services. I was pissed but paid him with my checking account.I thought it was over at this point. Approx 2 years later I got a call saying that I owed them about $2000 for there continued services. I told them they were a bunch of scam artists and to go to hell ! That's when he said he would access my account and take the money. Finally I agreed to give them $500 to be done with it but that I would have to pay him with a credit card at which time he said no. He said it would have to be paid with some type of card that I could get at WalMart. I knew then it was a scam because he didn't want me to dispute the charges on my credit card. I convinced him I would go to WalMart and purchase the cards for payment. He called me the whole time I was driving but he didn't know I went directly to my bank and told them what was happening. They put a hold on my account then we cancelled my debit card of which he had the number from when I paid them before. Now they have no account number for me. Last Friday I missed two calls at work both from these scammers. He said his name was Allen and my security for my computer had run out and if I didn't call him back at 866.349.2532 to renew or cancel than my account would be auto debited $6800. Shortly after that call a woman who said her name was Lisa left the exact same message on my phone. Both of these callers have a heavy Indian accent. Now I'm concerned again and really don't know where to turn. These people are relentless and need to be stopped ! It seems as though enough people have given enough info so something could have been done with these scammers. Thanks for your time, Steven Lavoie, 978.995.9052.
