I receive calls from this number claiming to be from a financial misconduct division in Florida, but the number is listed from NY. The caller has a foreign accent and claims to be trying to collect money owed on something I paid off 5 yrs ago. When I asked for the phone number to call them back I'm given 954-374-7556 but my caller ID shows (343) 729-0397. Apparently my personal information was sold cause he does not even have my name correct. THIS HAS TO BE A SCAM TO GET MONEY...........

This number has called my phone TEN times in the past 5 minutes!! i simply do not answer it..it is so annoying how do I make it go away!

Lin!!!!  If you were lucky enough to get addresses, PLEASE call the lawyer above at +1 877-735-8600!!!!!!! They just need valid addresses.I have been sooooo obnoxious with these thugs that last night THEY actually told  me to stop calling them. I just kept calling back asking for an address, calling back asking for a fax number, calling back asking for an address again, so they are not going to give me ANY information if I call them again. (That's a good one, eh!!)  EVERYONE . . . PLEASE . . . call them back, get as many address as you can and then CALL THE LAWYER ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going to be a long post because I have had very thorough experience with these people.

Since 1st June 2009, these people call me around 20-40 times a day. They also add at least 20 calls to my business phone, which has now been blocked pending further investigation by the management team. I have to un-plug my telephone at night and switch my mobile off. If I don't, I receive at least 30 calls throughout the night and it does not stop. I consider this to be very serious harassment.

The most recent call was at 8pm this evening. I answered it and the man, who was speaking in such a heavy middle eastern accent that I had trouble understanding him, said he was calling from a 'Financial Misconduct Bureau' and it was regarding a very serious financial issue that, if not resolved, would result in my being arrested and sent to prison. This man said his name was Larry Jones (yeah right). I already knew that he was a scammer due to the amount of times his company has called me in the past week, but I let him spout his bull to waste his time.

'Larry' addressed me by my name. However, he knew my first name, but got my surname completely wrong. I asked him what kind of financial issues he was wanting to discuss with me. He claimed that in 2006, I applied for a cash loan of $80,000 from a 'WizardCash' and that, due to me not paying anything off, I was now being pursued. I have no idea about this 'WizardCash' and certainly did not take a loan out. I pretended that I knew what he was talking about and allowed him to continue speaking. He told me that if I paid off an 'acceptable lump sum' of $20,000 right there and then, I would be spared jail. I told him that I have more than enough money to pay him and gave him a false credit card number. 'Larry' came back on the phone and said that the # I gave him was invalid. I said it wasn't. He told me that he'd get a 'specialist' on the phone.

Two minutes later, a 'Jim' got on the phone. Funny thing is, Jim sounded exactly like Larry. Jim was very aggressive and demanded me to give him a valid credit card number. I dropped the act and told 'Jim' that I knew he and 'Larry' were the same person, that he was scamming me, that I knew he was trying to run a scam on me and that I would be filing a lawsuit against him. I then hung up.

Since 8pm, the number has called at least 10 times. The phone is now un-plugged. I have contacted my service provider and arranged to use a new telephone number from Saturday onwards. My place of work is investigating the dozens of calls that come through daily from these people and have blocked it from the system permanentley. I have arranged for a meeting with an attorney tomorrow afternoon to exact some justice on these crooks.

I urge everyone - DO NOT believe a word these people say. You will NOT be going to jail. If they threaten you with anything, do NOT believe them. These scammers specialise in using scare tactics to put the fear of god into people. Do NOT give them a dime of your money. If they call you, simply answer the phone and leave it to one side so they can talk to themselves.

Good day

Got a call from (343) 729-0397.  The man said his name was Frank Williams from the state of Florida (i think, his accent was thick) he left a message claiming they had my name as a reference for a friend of mine who was in financial trouble.  Told me to tell my friend (they new his name and said they had his SS#) to call them.  They also said if I didn't get in touch with him I need to personally call them back on the "hotline" or I could be in "BIG TROUBLE".  Even said "call to avoid a financial mess".  This man had such a thick Indian accent I thought someone was playing a joke on me.  These idiots should know that real debt collectors don't tell people they will be in "big trouble".  What a scam.  I'm not calling them back.  I am concerned about how they have my name and number though.  Scary.
