I reveived a voicemail today saying I have to call back or else I will get arrested. So I was wondering what crime are they accusing me of because I didn't even break any rules or the law. So this Officer Michael Smith said, he was holding my case that I owe IRS for the year 2012. I'm only a student and I do not file any tax beacuse my parents claim me, I answered. So he said he is calling from the US treasury and the parallegal issued a warrant of arrest. I told him I will call back beacuse I don't know what he's talking about and I have to ask my mom about it. So when I tried calling him back, he did not pick up anymore. BEWARE of this number!! (310)-929-5879
I got a call from some guy that couldn't speak english stating he was from the Law Enforcement Agency. Said he had a case against my sister and I regarding our SS#'s or something like that... and if we didn't call in two hours, he would proceed with the case? I don't think this was legit at all and told him to send the paperwork to me and I hung up on him. heh...
If this was a scam, at least he could've sounded more professional and not like an idiot over the phone. He didn't even sound like a police officer nor did he even introduce himself as a Law Enforcement Agent.
JUST CALLED ME AT MY JOB, I KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM, IT IS A BIG SCAM TO SCARE PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY, DO NOT COMPLY, IF THEY ASK FOR YOU TELL THEM THEY HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER REPORT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN YOUR STATE, ALSO REPORT IT TO THE SECRET SERVICE, THESE ARE VERY BAD PEOPLE, THERE IS A MAJOR INVESTIGATION GOING ON WITH THESE CROOKS, THEY GOT ME BEFORE ABOUT 2YRS AGO, I LOST 500 DOLLARS, WHEN I RESEARCHED IT, THEY TELL YOU TO SEND THE MONEY MONEYGRAM FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN LATER THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH MONEYGRAM ANYMORE, THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT THEY WERE A FAKE. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. THE KEEP SWITCHING THEIR NUMBERS BETWEEN STATES AND ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACK. THE CALL CENTER IS ACTUALLY OUTSOURCED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. THERE IS NO SUCH AGENCY AS "THE US LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPT" OR "US NATIONAL BANK". IF THEY CALL YOU, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FBI FIELD OFFICE AND AND REPORT THEM. IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO SAVE ANY MESSAGES THEY LEAVE AS MOST OF THEM ARE RATHER THREATENING. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO FALLING FOR THIS SCAM ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING THE NAMES THEY WERE GIVING ME. THIS USUALLY COMES FROM INFORMATION YOU ENTER FROM APPLYING FOR LOANS OR FINANCIAL SERVICES ONLINE. EITHER THIS COMPANY IS HACKING INTO "SECURE" SYSTEMS AND GETTING YOUR INFO OR THE COMPANY THAT YOU APPLIED WITH SOLD YOUR INFO TO A THIRD PARTY. THEY ARE A HASSLE AND VERY VERY PERSISTENT.
