(863) 949-0904

I'm a receptionist and just took a call from an "Officer Mark Johnson" (whose very thick foreign accent certainly didn't jive with his name) claiming one of our employees was going to be arrested if he didn't call back immediately. Said he was from the "Financial Crime Department". I immediately recognized this as a scam someone tried to pull on me earlier this year using a different phone number (908-988-4266). I tried pressing him for an actual company name and told him he didn't sound much like the "Officer Mark Johnson" I'd talked to before (that was EXACTLY the same name used on me back in January), figuring he'd realize I was on to him & he'd **** up, but he was not that smart. I'm required to pass the message on to the employee, but he will be heavily cautioned when I do so!!BTW, I tried reporting the scam to my state attorney general's office in January. All that got me was a letter from them stating that it was a valid debt matter and they wouldn't get involved. What a joke--it was supposedly for unpaid credit card debt from the '90s--I just got my first credit card EVER 2 yrs ago!
