Guys! I won $2.5 million and a new Mercedes! But to verify delivery I needed to call: 202-239-8723, which of course had a cacophony of dogs barking and a woman with a heavy accent. They're changing up their game, so be aware! The scam has changed but theyre still trying to scam people.
Just got a call from a heavily-accented man "Jeff Gordon" from the Tax Crime Investigation Dept. for the IRS. He said I was being investigated for "money-laundering" meaning I'd sent money (unreported to the IRS) overseas four times in the past ten years. Etc. Etc. I was polite because at first he scared me but later "Jeff's" accent put doubts in my mind. If he had said he was Abdul or Kareem, I might have actually believed him, thinking a new U. S. citizen had been hired by the IRS. When I loudly proclaimed my innocence, he said he'd do a further investigation and he'd get back to me in a couple of hours. I said thank you....how can I reach YOU? and he gave me the 202-239-8723 number. What a horrible way to start the morning. Jeff Gordon - may Karma catch up with you soon!
I had a call from the 202-239-8723 saying they are from Tax Crime Investigation of IRS and they have a warrant for my arrest for money laundry??? First it was Johny Cruze with attitude and accent which I didn't buy. He transferred me to his supervisor, Jeff Morgan or Jeff Gordon (also with Indian accent). He said IRS has a file on me for money laundry and they are there to help. I remembered sending a little money to help out with care giving of my old mom in the old country so I believed him. He indicated that I needed to get $1,990 in MoneyPak and IRS would drop the case. It was fishy that he kept me on the phone and didn't want to talk to anyone about this confidential matter!!! He then indicated that an additional $3,200 was required for court cost and the Sherif's office. On that note I ended the conversation. These guys are bad news and make bad name for Indians. Report them to Treasury Dept at 800-366-4484 and help lock them up!
Called from 202.239.8723 and said his name was Jason Fletcher calling from Federal Tax Crime Investigation Department. Appears to be similar to what others are saying
