I recieved a call from a man with a strong arabic accent today. He read me my social security # and asked me to verify it. He said there was two cases of fraud against me. He said if I didn't make a payment of $1400.00 by the end of the day I would be arrested within the next couple of days, and taken to federal prison to serve two years for fraud.
I told him I didn't have that kind of money today. So he said I could pay half today and make payment arrangements. I told him I didn't not have $700.00 today. So then he said if I just make a payment of $100.00 today that would stop me from being arrested. I was so terrified at the thought of being arrested like a dummy I gave him my bank card number.
But then I spoke with a few people and I also called the FBI in Los Angeles and told them what was happening to me. The agent said I should NEVER give anyone my bank information over the phone. He said if I am going to be arrested for fraud some company would not call me and say to make a payment in order to stop me from getting arrested. He said for me to call my bank and have that transaction cancelled. Then he told me to get in touch with the two companines I owe money to and set up payment arrangements.
When I called this person back at united legal investigators and told him that I had spoke to a FBI agent and I was cancelling that bank card he became so upset and said he would be contacting the prosecutors and I will be arrested within a couple of days. I am so worried about this. I am a widow with two teenage daughters.
