Type of a scam Other

This phone number has been call my place of employment for the last week and today they have called 6 times in an hour. When I answer the phone no one says anything and then they hang up and call right back. I tried calling the number back to remove our business number and it states that the number is disconnected. They talked to me once one of the first times they called and said they were wanting to extend my factory warranty on a car that no one has here in the office I work in. I don't know how to make them stop calling if I cant remove the number from there call list. Its very frustrating when I'm trying to work and they continuously call!

Then he started off with address, phone, etc. I did not say anything, when I decided he was already too knowledgeable, I hung up and as I did I heard "Bank Iberia."

Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief

I was called from (586)-110-4400 multiple times with the same "urgent message" about how this is "my final warning to pay my amount due to have my credit repaired."

I knew immediately it was a scam, but decided to try to get a live person to possibly find out a name or location.

I was called from the same number multiple times and at one point was asked to send 300 US dollars via wire transfer. Because I was called from the same number so many times, I believe it was not spoofed.

I have tried to get ahold of someone in charge, find out a company name or location, any details that could help me figure out who this was while on the phone baiting them. Each time I asked for any information of this sort, I was immediately hung up on.

I am registed on the Do Not Call list on the number they dialed and have been for many months. I am reporting this in hopes that these people can be stopped and that the elderly or those with little understanding of how scams work do not get caught up in this scheme.

Type of a scam Government Grant

Received a Facebook message supposedly from a close friend describing the availability of government grants for persons with handicaps. Friend supposedly asserted that she had received a grant and that I would possibly be eligible for said grant. I was instructed to text a message to phone number 402-870-4292 to determine my eligibility. I sent a text with only my name and address and almost immediately received a return text stating that I was eligible and to fill out an application using text messaging right then. At that time I realized that something seemed suspicious, so I called the friend and was informed that the friend had not sent me such a message. At that time I realized that this had to be some kind of scam. I immediately stopped communication with that phone number, but I am still getting messages asking if I am still with them.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

Received a call from Chris Kelly, caller ID shows 917-410-8071. This number has been blocked on my phone for a while because it appears as spam or unsafe according to my carrier. For the past two days Chris has been leaving voicemail that he received information in his office with my name and social security number and that I need to be home on Monday 09/26/2016 to receive and sign the documents. Chris never identifies the company he is working for nor does he mention who is client is that is trying to serve me. I have a total of 22 calls from this person since September 9th. The calls are escalating in frequency and the voicemail are disturbing. If this is a legitimate situation then I am willing to address but there are to many red flags to ignore. I need the calls and harassing voicemail to stop. I did not personally speak to the individual just received the voicemails.

I've got 3 calls, two from the first number today, and one calls from the second number. They're saying something about being from the IRS. I call the first number back twice, but it says the number is no longer in service. I just called the second number back, and I got someone to answer. I couldn't really understand what he was saying, but when I asked who he was calling for, he didn't respond, and then hung up a few seconds later. This is a screenshot of the messages they leave.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

On 9/22/16 at 10:41am, I received a call from 985-382-6767. The automated message stated that they have made several attempts to contact me about my credit card. Then, they went on to state that they are trying to lower my interest rate. This sounds like a scam that I heard on the news that is attempting to verify the type of card that I have. I get furious when I receive these calls with all of the scams today. Thank you for any assistance that you can give me in stopping these people.

Type of a scam Tax Collection

a person called my home phone and claimed to be an agent with the internal revenue service. he gave his name as Allen Green and i.d.#29635. He stated that my taxes had been audited from 2005 through 2015 and that my 2008 and 2009 taxes due amounted to $3,989.36. He stated that I could be arrested and have my assets and bank accounts ceased by the government. I tried to ask a question and he threatened to submit a form and have the police to immediately come to my house and have me arrested. I asked if he wanted me to pay him by check or credit card. He denied asking me for any money and hung up. He spoke with a foreign, Indian, accent.

The number he called from is (347) 906-8611. I called this number back and they asked I someone had just spoken to me and then hung up.

My wife received the same call a month ago.
