A man with a Hispanic accent called me from this # claiming my husband was in a car accident with his cousin. He wanted $2500 for the cousin's medical expenses then threatened to have my husband shot if I didn't pay. I notified the police immediately. My husband was fine and not involved.
Received a check in the mail late July 2013. It was written on comstock oil & gas for the amount of $1984.45. A letter accompanied from Gardfield Research. It stated that it was an invitation to work as a "customer Service Evaluator" aka mystery shopper. Instructions for 2 assignments were detailed. I was required to first contact Mark Thomas for authorazation on the check and to receive the assigned receiving agent for a western union money in minutes transfer. Then depoit the check into my personal account, wait a couple days for it to clear, then transfer a portion of it to the receiving agent via western union. I would keep $300 for my services and then go on to assignmnet #2. This included using $100 to shop somewhere. The back of the letter also provided a form to evaluate the clients. I researched Gardfield Research and the company appears not to exist and the address is fake. The check however was written on a good company, but I beleive this to be a HUGE scam!!
A lottery scam is a type of advance-fee fraud which begins with an unexpected email notification, phone call, or mailing (sometimes including a large check) explaining that "You have won!" a large sum of money in a lottery. The recipient of the message — the target of the scam — is usually told to keep the notice secret, "due to a mix-up in some of the names and numbers," and to contact a "claims agent." After contacting the agent, the target of the scam will be asked to pay "processing fees" or "transfer charges" so that the winnings can be distributed, but will never receive any lottery payment.[1] Many email lottery scams use the names of legitimate lottery organizations or other legitimate corporations/companies, but this does not mean the legitimate organizations are in any way involved with the scams.
The person with this phone number is trying to sell buddy travel pass for Delta. He is a fraud. He will ask for $200 transferred from a MoneyPak card in return for a buddy pass that he will set up online. He sets up the travel but you will have to pay for the full fair at the gate.

This number (267) 518-3198 has called before. Called me in Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday afternoon; when I answered, they hung up. Research shows they call from Willow Grove, Philadelphia, PA, from a phone serviced by "Allegiance".
A female showed up at my door twice with some excuse about her parents sending a fed ex package to the wrong address and if it came to my door would I call her at this number and she gave the name Christine. We have had a lot of crimes in the area of this same behavior and all she was doing was to see who was home and what she could see through the door that was valuable. 3 days later my apartment was robbed.
This company keeps calling with an automated message asking for someone who doesn't live here! It say if you are this person press 1. If you aren't this person press 2. When I press 2 it says to have him call them but I don't know who this person is!, it is ANNOYING and I wish I could make them stop. I tried calling that number back but it doesn't go through. Help!!!
I received a call advising me to turn myself in to the local authorities immediately, when I returned the call it was to a "Mr. Harker" asking when I was going to pay back the money I borrowed. I advised him I never borrowed any money from him. He threatened me and advised they have my bank account and will take their money. This is a scam!!! My attorney called and left a message for him and advised him to correct their records before we file a formal complaint.
This is a telemarketer. They call the business I work at everyday, wanting to speak to a VP or top executive to sell some kind of product or service. This company/telemarketer needs to be reported for harrassment.
I hung up immediately.
I was hoping for some answers.
