For those of you who have just recently been scammed by these crooks, I've done some leg work for you. Here are some phone numbers that you're probably going to want. And the phrase of the day is - File A Report -.
NEW YORK STATE POLICE - CHAMPLAIN
518-298-5200
(File a police report with them)
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW YORK
Regional Office - 585-546-7430
Attorney General's Office - 516-248-3300
(I'm not sure which number will pertain to our problem since I haven't called them yet, so here is both of them. File a report.)
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION - ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
585-546-2220
(This was the nearest office to Champlain that I could find. If you know of one that is closer, please post a rebuttal. And file a report.)
EXPERIAN CREDIT BUREAU - ALLEN, TEXAS
888-397-3742
(This is one of the 3 major credit bureaus. Go to http://www.consumer. Gov/idtheft/recovering_idt.html#9 if you would like more info regarding this credit bureau or the other two. I intend to call this credit bureau to report that my identity may have been stolen by these criminals.)
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
877-382-4357
(I have already called them and put my phone number on the national DO NOT CALL list. Long story short, if after 31 days I receive any telephone solicitation, I report them to the FTC and the solicitor may face fines up to $10,000. I also intend to call the FTC again and see what kind of identity theft prevention measures I can take with them. I'll probably have to file report.)
BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU
703-276-0100
The more reports the BBB has, the more they can do. (Which, from what I can gather, isn't a whole lot, but for the love of Pete, FILE THE REPORT!)
In addition to all of this, I will be seeking advice from an attorney after I have spoken with all of these orgainizations in addition to my local police department and the nearest office of the FBI.
You should contact your local police department, and the FBI nearest to you as well and file reports with them. If anyone else has any suggestoins beyond what usacomplaints.com has posted at the end of these complaints and beyond what I have posted here to take action against these thievin' bastards, please post a rebuttal.
Go get 'em!!
