Scam Description
Received a call stated the name Investigator Carter, she had pre-trial court documents to deliver, even had a docket #. I asked what this was about and that I haven’t lived at the address she had for over 7 years. She then transferred me to what was called Arbitration Services to speak with Patrick 877-899-7395 ext 202. They stated due to not living at the address and not being able to get the information they would work with me to pay off the debt for 465. I fell for it and gave bank information. 2 days later I closed my bank account after speaking with local sheriff office and clerk of courts. The caller was spoofing the Hamilton County, OH Sheriff’s office number. The Sheriffs Office and Clerk of courts have nothing on me and they do not know an Investigator Carter. The guy called back today and threatened me for not keeping to the arbitration deal that was made. He then stated I am no longer able to pay via ACH and can mail a check to 708 Foote Ave, Suite 108, Jamestown, NY 14708. The address that was given to me to mail in the payment was to a UPS Store in Jamestown, NY. The Hamilton County, OH Sheriff’s Office and Jamestown, NY Police all believe I am being scammed.
