RICHARD WILSON 646-351-1239
Complaint
ERICA
Country: United States
WE ARE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS WHY WOULD WE NEED YELLOW PAGES ONLINE. HE CALLED THE OFFICE AND ASKED ME TO VERIFY ALL INFORMATION HE HAS AND THEN RECORDED ME AND MADE IT SEEM LIKE I ORDERED AN AD. HE TOLD ME HIS NAME IS RICHARD WILSON AND HE IS CALLING FROM COLLECTIONS AND NEEDS MY MONEY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER FOR IT NOT TO GO TO MY CREDIT. I TOLD HIM TO SEND IT TO MY CREDIT THEN AND HE SAID NO I NEED YOU TO PAY THIS. HIS NUMBER IS 646-351-1239. THIS IS REDICULOUS SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING, BECAUSE WE ARE OUT AROUND $500.
Comments
This type of scam is well known to federal and state regulators, and often involves the fraudulent doctoring, editing, or misrepresenting of recorded phone calls to extort payment.
You are not out $500 unless you believe their BS and actually pay them. They generally do nothing but make idle threats, and back down in the face of filing complaints with the authorities.
File fraud complaints with FTC and your state Attorney General.
I found out out its a scam searching for that number.
Thanks for this post and the internet to help stop fraud.
They should be shot
He said "their is complain from [my father name] to IRS" ?
i said my father complained to you guy then why are you calling us back.
Then i was like what is the message.
he said "I am officer peter smith"
i asked him which state are you calling from?
he said "America"
I said America is a country not a state.
That time i knew this is a scam.
I told him this does not sound legit call.
He started cursing me out. " You Mother F*** Son of B***,........................................"
I hanged up on him.
This is a known issue already been reported to IRS many times before.

Probably about the only tactic to get back at them.
That deserves an FBI complaint, just to produce a trail.
It's a SCAM
