Got same email and phone call.....legal notice from advance cash saying I was going to be arrested if I didn't pay. I have reported this to the police and FBI they want you to go get a green dot money pack and pay immediately or face arrest warrant. I got similar phone calls from a 315 number. They even posed as state police!! They have been harassing me for over a week. They even called my work! I hope they catch who ever is doing this because it is ridiculous! I have reported both phone numbers to the police, FBI and the green dot money pack customer service line.
I received a few phone calls starting at 6:07 am every morning this week from 202-241-0262. When I finally answered the phone, I was told there would be an arrest warrant issued within the next 35 minutes for money laundering from 2008-2012. They said my passport has been revoked, my property seized, my bank account seized and my wages garnished. They knew my first and last name. They never asked for any money or anything, they ended up just hanging up on me. Only after they told me my call was being recorded and would be used against me. I was told I was going to be deported back to my country (I am a born American , as well as my parents). I am changing my phone number :(
SOMEONE NAMED JACKIE CALLED MY SISTER (INDIAN DESCENT/INDIAN LAST NAME) CLAIMING THEY ARE FROM THE IRS . DOING "INVESTIGATION" ETC.. AND SHE SHOULD CALL THEM BACK AT EXTENSION 25606
Had this number on my caller id when I called back it simply disconnected the call. 20 minutes later I get a call from this number again saying my roommate had committed tax fraud and had a warrant out for his arrest. If he didn't pay he would be deported back to his home country.
The guy had our home address which can be found in the phonebook/ white pages. He asked for my roomates cell number and when I wouldn't give it to him he became angry.. I told him he was full of sh*t and he started stuttering then hung up.
Obvious scam.. these people should be put in jail.
