I just received a phone call at my work number from a man who had an accent (indian-like) identifying himself as Officer Ben Parks. He started to tell me that there were 3 crimanal charges (Case# FL7520186) that were going to be filed against me for banking violation and collector of check fraud. He started saying that I owed money to a Cash Advance company for a deposit they made into my account and that I have not paid it back. FIRST of all, I have not received any loans or advances from any company and second of all the bank account information he gave me was on an account that I closed about 2 months ago because I was online looking for a loan and i came across a company which seemed alittle iffy but it was too late when I realized I had put alot of my info, so I immediately got off the internet and went to my bank and closed my account and put fraud alerts on all 3 credit bureaus.
I told this "officer" that I have never gotten a cash advance nor was money ever deposited into my account. I told him that this was obviously a fraud as he proceeded to threaten me that I was going to be charged. I told him to go ahead and do what he's got to do, and that I was the one that was going to bring a case against him for fraud. He hung up. I called the number back that he provided initially (904-345-0796 which is an unpublished number out of Jacksonville) and no-one answered but an machine stating you can't leave any messages. Obviously these are scammers trying to scare people into paying money they dont even owe!!! I will continue to look further into this and try to see if I can get this scammers in real trouble!!
