I woke up and received a phone call that was from my local area code 971. This lady named Allison Johnson, who sounded Indian or out of the country with a thick accent, said that I need to call her back regarding Washington county matters. I work the overnight shift, so I wake up much later in the day compared to most people. This was around 4:30 PM my time. A few minutes later my boyfriend called me and said hey, there’s a lady name Allison Johnson that is asking about you regarding some sort of legal situation from Washington County. I was a little confused and skeptical, so I called back, and she said that she is calling from EZ Money EZ Corp on the behalf of consumer impact recovery. She said that I owed about $1200 but that If I pay about $350 today. She can make it happen set up as a payment plans. I told her I don’t have that kind of money and I don’t trust you like that. She had my first name last name my old address and she was able to contact my parents and my boyfriend because we use my mom‘s family plan. I had asked her to send me a contract after she already had an information and I noticed that the contract was sloppy made look like it was done on someone’s Apple laptop because I had their IP address and their Google IP address on the bottom forms. I gave them a fake card number and expiration number just to give them a taste of their own medicine. They stop calling me for a couple of days and then on the day that I had the set-up payment plan they called me over and over 20 times a day and then I finally installed a Scam Shield app on my phone, they kept calling me my boyfriend and then a couple days later. My dad said a number is calling them over every day saying said I owe them money, or I will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest. I told my parents that it is a scam. I had to set up the app for my dad and my mom on their phone because they were harassing my parents, I called the local authority and reported the scam. I filed a claim through the federal commissioner for fraud and scam on the government's website as well. Until this day this number continues to call me four times a day and it’s a number that is not a real number because I did a phone look up and it’s a bandwidth SMS which is a Google phone number which anybody can purchase. I did an IP address look up and it was located from Seattle but I’m not sure how accurate this is. I did not lose any money, but I want to warn the consumers out there to be careful and to scan your calls. I’ve noticed scammers are more aggressive and this is my first time getting scammed, but I wasn’t scammed out any money I’m a nurse, and I’ve seen lots of people come and go from being unethical. My biggest frustration is that they bothered. My parents and my parents are kind of stressed out, but I did remind them that it was a scam. Trust me if I was being served, I would have gotten letters from my county already. These people are ruthless, just garbage piece of crap, and should be prosecuted to the fullest, please be careful and download the T-Mobile Scam Shield app and block any numbers that you don’t recognize, and they will take care of you.
