Second call in a week from this phone number stating that legal action will be taken against me if I, or my attorney do not call them back. A "Renee’ Porter" states that "severe" action will be taken against me. A threatening voice mail is left, however, there is no company name used, no mention of said "bill owed", nothing. Very disturbing when nowadays you have to PAY to get info on a phone number. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would like to report on a robocall we keep receiving, sometimes as often as three a day. A woman who can hardly speak a correct English sentence, tells us that

we are under investigation for allegations about our tax filings. She claims that if we call this number (315-232-8406) she can help us avoid arrest by the “cops.”

We have kept a recording of two or three of these calls. Of course, we do not respond, but the frequency of them is more than annoying and we felt that we

should contact someone about them.

Had phone call and when I answered person ID’d themselves as Emma or something like that, from an online employment service and asked if I could hear her okay, I replied that " I can barely Hear You but Yes" and the phone line disconnected. Never got a call back and when I tried to call number it just played quick music tone and disconnected again.

Caller called using a ghost number for our local Wells Fargo branch (number above) and the caller asked if I could hear them ok and I said "uh huh"…then they started in with wanting to know if we wanted to invest financial and I realized it was a recorded call. I called the Wells Fargo branch and it was not them. Not sure if it was targeted to our business or personal because we had the business phone forwarded to our cell phone.

This just happened so we haven’t received any false charges or anything yet, but will be on the look out.

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

Caller is female and asks, "Can you hear me". Once I said, "yes", she goes on to tell me about a trip I can go on and she will be transferring me to someone who can further assist. There is never a LIVE person on the other end. They just coax you into saying, "Yes" so they can say that you ordered a service or authorized a purchase when you did NOT.
