Just received a call from officer Melvin. Voice mail said that he was from the IRS. Legal notice for tax evasion to be filed at Federal Court House within 15 minutes of his message if I do not call back. Arrest warrant to be issued. Since I have no tax problems I figured it was a scam. Left no case number. Googled 202-864-1620. SCAM
I received a call as others have described (voice mail). Same story: tax evasion, tax fraud, arrest warrant. I immediately suspected a scam and this verifies it. I had received 2 calls from this area code this week when I was at home and there was no one there when I answered. Perhaps they try to scare people through voice mail.
Another one from good old Officer Melvin. Same details as the other previous comments. Why can't these people be tracked and shut down? I wonder how many people have actually fallen for this scam?
They are operating from a foreign country most likely India or Pakistan using an internet phone service like Magic Jack or Vonage. It is very hard for our officials to shut down overseas call center operations.
202-864-1620 called my home phone #. A man said he was from the IRS and they have an arrest warrant. BAH BAH BAH. They want money. I work for the local police dept. and this is a scam. READ the news papers, the IRS does not CALL you. NEVER GIVE INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE
I got a call and voicemail from an "Officer Melvin" letting me know that they are coming after me for tax evasion or tax fraud and will be issuing a warrant for my arrest if I don't call back right away.
