Arrowhead Investments

Yesterday my Immediate Supervisor at my place of work received a phone call from an "Officer Adrick Maxom" claiming he was from USBI (United States Bureau Investigation) and that he was calling to inform that I was going to be arrested in 2 hours for criminal and civil activity, money laundering and bank fraud. He first spoke to the secretary, told her the same thing. The contact # he gave was 520-720-0825 and said he was located in AZ. I called him and "played along" to hear what he had to say. He said that I owed $820.00 (for a $300.00 loan with Arrowhead Investments) within 2 hours otherwise they were going to come to work and arrest me. He gave me information to go to Western Union and wire the money to an Attorney by the name of Chiraq Rami in Wheeling, IL. He also gave me the name of Mr. Robert Williams who he stated was the Managing Director of Arrowhead Financial. His number was 313-344-0029. After I hung up with Adrick Maxom, I called this 313 number. He only answered by saying "hello". Did not represent the company in any way. I asked to speak with the Attorney Chiraq Rami and he hesitated and then said he was at court filing claims against people. At this time, I thought he sounded like the fist guy I spoke to (Adrick). I advised both of them that I would be working on getting payment to them. After finding your website yesterday and reading stories that sounded exactly like mine, I filed a claim with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). I called "Officer Adrick Maxom" back this morning and advised that I had contacted the FTC and that this would be handled in another matter. He said he would be calling my Manager by Noon and have me fired! Here's another funny note - he couldn't keep his stories straight. Yesterday he left several messages on my cell phone where at which one time he announced himself as "Officer Robert Williams" - he was screwing the names/titles up (who he was pretending to be) Anyway, in 2006 I did have several pdls....bad time in my life which thankfully I am passed. All loans have been paid. I even bought a house a couple of months ago - and God knows how your credit history shows up there. If you owe a dollar for anything - it will show up. I don't have any paperwork showing paid in full with Arrowhead - but I cannot find a number anywhere to contact them. I had already been trying when these phone calls started yesterday. Even though my gut feeling kept telling me this was a scam, I did feel much better after reading other stories out here. I'm just sorry for any of us who have to go through this. It is rehashing a bad time in my life. Thanks for all the links and information.
Re: Arrowhead Investments
I made the above post and just wanted to let you know that I contacted the Phone Number from a Previous Post to ArrowHead. The number was actually to a Callcent that does collections for pay day loans. He was very helpful and gave me yet another phone # to contact - but assured me that the people who are contacting me are not affiliated with Arrowhead. BTW, the UT address is the correct address for Arrowhead.
