(206) 855-5354

I have received a call from a Mark Watson from a company called ACS claiming to be an agent looking to protect me from an affidavit of a very serious financial matter leaving a phone number (347-590-4535).  I did a tracer on the number which was coming out of Weschester, NY.  I tried ringing the number back numerous times and it immediately rings busy.  The man is obviously from somewhere in India judging by his accent.Now, I'm getting calls from an Officer Joshua Watson, a***n with an East Indian or Middle Easter accent, from (609-318-3095) claiming to be an Officer from State Financial Clients Investigations saying that if I don't call him back at this number I run the risk of being arrested for a financial matter he did not specify.  Both numbers showed up as +06 numbers which immediately tells me that the call is from outside of the country.  I tried to call this 609 number back and it immediately would not ring through saying "ALL CIRCUITS ARE BUSY". Neither of these companies are locatable in those area codes or anywhere on google.  After reading these reports, my thoughts of a scam are substantiated.  How these people have my personal data, particularly my social, is most perplexing and certainly irritating!

LOL They've s****ed calling me a***n.  16 calls between 2:57 & 3:05.  I **** up, tell them to hold on, play loud music in their ear, press the ****ons.....  They got me so worked up before now I want to frustrate them as much as they frustrated me.  But there is no number on the caller id now just "unavailable".  Don't let 'em grind you down!

Friends, family and work recv calls from this number.  Making unlawful threats.  When ever they are asked for information they **** up.  They leave messages stating I am being investigated by the federal govt for fraud.  Stating if I pay them money to stop the calls.  Found this is a huge scam and have filed a complaint with the FCC an Illinois AG.  If you get this kind of call **** up and give NO INFO.

***Alert*** I s****ed receiving calls from these guys last week (02/17/10). I traced the number back to a city in Washington state, but that's not where the calls are originating.  Please just **** up on these guys when they call.  If you don't get mad and do what they say they won't waste time on you.  I contacted the police in Washington and they have turned all the information over to the FBI.  These people are coming up with new scams every day and the law is closing in.  Protect yourself and **** up on them.  I received calls from 206-855-5352 Officer Mike Owens, but the numbers are all very close.

I got the same phone call today from a guy stateing that his name is Joshua Watson and then he acts like he is James Green stated that he  was calling from State Financial Investigation due to a pay loan. Also threatening that he was going to have me arrested if i did not pay him a balance of 500.00. I needed to fax in all my information and a copy of my ID and credit card. Please be aware of these types of call.I am aware and i will call the cops on you and make sure you get caught if you call me a***n!!!!!!

I too recieved a call and message from this number on my cell phone on wednesday morning. They had also contacted my parents and a freind of mine. When i called the number back, it went straight to voicemail. I never spoke with anyone, but i did leave a message saying i had contacted my local police department, the FBI, federal trade commision  a*** social security admin. regarding their extortion attempt. Havent heard back from anyone since...

Thank you for you who contacted our Department regarding this issue. As stated in others in this forum this is a scam and  wanted to inform you that the number although appears be a "landline" from Bainbridge Island it is not. After a bit of research I found that a company called "net2phone" leases numbers from companies like Comcast, Quest then 3 party vendors out the number over voiceover IP with limited to no subscriber information. This is just one company of many. This allows people from other Cities, States and Countries to ***n access to numbers making it look as if it is a local landline number suggesting some legitimacy. With truly such a large problem which needs to be address on a Federal level our only and best protection is being educated on the scams and just ****ing up. A thought of contacting your local congress person regarding these “3rd party” vendors and that issue which  seem to have no other use except to provide  untraceable access to scammers. Contact with the company showed no care  or accountability and why should they since they are getting paid.Don’t give any information on the phone, make sure to use that annual free credit report and look at those credit card summaries each month for inconsistent charges.  It’s a one on one battle at this point until laws c****e.More importantly don’t let these guys work you up. Its all about intimidation, **** up, they will call back until they realize that they are getting nothing from you and will move on. Be SafeBainbridge Detective Unit

I received a phone call on my cell phone this morning. The return number on my cell phone said just 221. The caller claimed his name was "Rod Johnson" he was obviously middle eastern by his accent. He asked to verify my information over the phone, I refused since I did not know the caller, He began to get irate, so I ***g up. He called me back yelling at me that I am being sued for 78,000 and that I better talk to him. So I ***g up a***n. He called back a***n, this time I sent it to voicemail, in the message he had my name ss#, old address, and some other old info on me.

I did not answer the call the missed phone # was 1219. When I check my voicemail it was a foreign guy claiming to be officer martin had my social, new my friends names left me the 206-855-5354 phone number to call back. I called back knowing this was insane and it rang forever finally just said leave message at the beep, so obviously this is bogus. Now that I have read all these post I did save the message on my phone, so I will be contacting the police department in the morning.

I got a call from Officer Martin. He told me he is investigating my friend and wanted me to get in contact with her. He said he works for the government. I called the number back that he left, no one would tell me the company name. I was transferred 4 or 5 times. I filed a complaint with the FCC and so did my friend. She also filed a police report.

I had a call from Officer Martin.  This is a complete scam.  Do not give them your information!  Report to your local police department.  If at all possible save their messages.

Officer James Green called stated I was being investigated for criminal charges for check fraud and other criminal charges. He had my name and social. He told me I had to pay up today or face prison time and a large fine. He was foreign and very rude. He would not give me a name of who I owed this money to just that it was a company called Fast cash and fast cash had 45 -50 companies fast cash deal with and he could not provide me with a number. Got irrate on the call and told me he will see me in court and he hopes I like my stay in prison.
