a very foreign sounding man who gave his name as "Office John" from American Credit services called and asked me to verify last digits of SS number before he even stated why he was calling. I have been receiving calls of this type form various "agencies" for over a year - all with the same message - I have commited fraud. When I explained that I would not verify any information about legal matters over the phone he asked for my manager (he is calling me at work at a school and should know that I do not have a manager but a supervisor or principal!)- She happened to be out of the building, but he said he would call back in an hour. That hour has come and gone. How do we stop these calls from frauds??? I am tired of receiving them here and at home.

I looked these guys up. I hope you never gave them your numbers.

They are nobodies. Worthless scammers. Be as mean as you want to be to these guys. Tell your boss someone is trying to scam your credit card. If they call the principal he/she will be ready.
when presented with surprise bills from unknown sources. I say,
"Send me a signed contract from when the account was created. If you cannot provide one do not call".
I then save their number in my phone and set it to a silent ring-tone.
IMPORTANT: Do not falter or get nervous. The more sure you sound the more they will get nervous. Be mean. You dont know them and you owe them nothing.
I agree with Edward, I have been icredibly mean to them when they call. I will tell you they don't scare easily, they laughed when I mentioned the FBI, they called me names, called back and left scary threatning messages on my cell phone, but obviously they are from the middle east and can't do anything to you.
Hope this information helps.
Stop calling me. They call from unknown or all zero number. The guy says he is officer max?? And I'm in legal trouble. The weird thing is they have my information yet say they are calling for my friend and they give her name, yet this person is related to me! These wackos are pissing ne off! Oh and the bogus number he left is just dead air. Help!!! They harassed ne maybe a year ago w/ the same crap and stopped now they are doing it again!!!!!
All they can do is harass and threaten.
As long as you respond in a way that leads them to believe they can con or coerce you, they will keep trying.
Report them to the FBI, and whenever they call tell them you have done so, and that you are recording the call as evidence.
nt ask for round numbers like 4500. They ask for exact amounts like 456.77. They called me and I have no Dept whatsoever. This is a scam.
