Department of Financial Investigations Make them have a bad day New York, New York

So-called Officer Austin White left a message on my phone that threw me into a panic. Legal action action is going to be taken against me because I used someone else's information to get a loan. Later that day, I received a phone call from work with the same story. I have a lot of pride in at least having a job in these times, so on my break, "Officer Walter Jones" told me the horrible details, case number and all, of how I defrauded someone out of $350.  The summonses would be in the mail.  However I can pay this off and have my SSN sealed by making the payment on a Moneypack debit card from Walmart.  Wow, I thought...this government has surely gotten forgiving about fraud.  Instead of being arrested, I can pay it off like a cable bill. Hmm...

As I am a little hard of hearing, the thick accent started getting me wondering...the government is VERY CLEAR when it comes to money, and when I asked to speak to someone that I could understand, he hung up. So when I called him back to apologize that night, you know, to a 'federal agent', I got a message from MAJIC JACK saying that the customer is unavailable to take my call. And this is where the fun began.

Googled the company name, and off course, this website popped up. Monday morning hit, and I proceeded to bombard the phone number with calls, lecturing him about what us hard working Americans do, and I wanted to speak to his mother.  With two phone lines I was able to block him from doing business that day...'Home Alone' style. The last phone call I made, I told him that I was posting the number on Facebook.  He is no longer answering...or calling my job.

Calling the IRS to be sure, but in the mean time, if you don't feel like filing any reports, harass THEM ad nauseum and tell them to call the cops (hand the number over to teenagers, come on, have some fun). Maybe it would turn them off to know that we can be pains in their butts too.  

What I've learned in this is there is NO EASY MONEY, and I don't want to be on the 'loan train' in this recession.  It all started when I applied for loans online.  And, you know what? Things are working out anyway...cuz maybe if I got off my butt and work a little harder or smarter I would have what I need like everybody else.
