I received a strange phone call at work today. The receptionist gave me the message and said the man was very rude. I called the number at lunch and a man with a thick accent answered the phone. I asked him what it was in regard to and all he would say that I had committed bank fraud. When I asked him his name he called himself 'Officer Nick'. I said that was impossible and it had to be a mistake.

He transferred me to another man who would not give his name. He immediately started yelling at me and when I tried asking questions he would cut me off and say I had committed a crime and that he was with the FBI. I kept trying to ask about the company name and info on the situation, he continued to yell and that he was sending agents to my work to have me arrested and that I would spend a year in jail. Then he wished me good luck and hung up on me.

They tried calling me back a few minutes later on my personal phone(which I did not give them) but I didn't answer ( I was furious). I called back to get more info but will not give me any info all they wanted was my bank info and their $, but I refused to give them any info without validation of the "so called" debt. I have never taken any loans out with these people and the fact that they impersonated a police officer and a FBI agent is very scary. I have filed complaints with the Texas AG as well as Florida AG.

That's interesting. That number is not a Big Pine Key phone number. However, there is a recent Identity Theft victim in the area with the name Bass. The suspect, who is now in jail in Key West, is John Howard, who lives in Ft. Lauderdale.

You may want to give the Monroe County Sheriff's Office or the State's Attorneys Office a call and find out what Detective worked that case.

Good luck.

More info!!!

The only info I have been able to find is their phone number (305) 433-8364. When I googled the area code it came as Big Pine Key, Florida. The only address they would give me is Arlington Expressway, Jacksonville, Florida. Which just so happens to be the street address of the infamous Bass and Associates. That is all the info I could find so far. Anyone with any other information would be a great help. I have filed a report with the local FBI and the police department.

I am a Keys local and live only a couple of islands away from Big Pine. It's a small town. Do you have the number he called from or any other info? Perhaps I can help with identifying this guy.
