We received the same this this morning...a call saying that there has been and arrest warrant issued for my husband...again a caller with a heavy accent, saying he was the supervisor when I asked. He said his name was Ronald Arthur from the crime investigation division of the IRS and they had sent a letter in December and one in February about taxes we owe. We have our taxes done professionally every year. He said we owe $2965 from 2012 and that if we want to avoid lawyer and court fees, the government would like that too and so he can send a local law enforcement officer and two other people (I forget who he said...) and they would come to my house and we need to be ready to give them the money. I called our CPA and he said it's scam but now there's a twist that someone will come to the house. Very scary!!!
This number called My 79 year old Mother today. The person sounded like an African American women. They said my Mom was in tax trouble. I quickly picked up the other line and stated the call is being traced and for the caller to state their full name. The caller hung up immediately. I put the Fear of the Lord in this scam caller! This is a major scam. Do not give any information to anyone on this number. Better yet, scare them like I did by telling them you are an undercover agent and you have pinpointed their location and law enforcement will raid there location within hours! That's how I handle these nasty people!
This is the 2nd time I received a call from his number. The first call was a few months ago about an IRS issue and told me I would be arrested within a hour if I didn't clear the warrant issue blah blah blah ( long story short) luckily I figured out that it was a scam call.
The 2nd time was yesterday and he left a message, the phone number was 2022411305 and his name was Gary Jones, saying he was a crime investigator Badge ID # CI159. It was a similar issue that I would be arrested blah blah blah. I let my husband call back because he knew it was a scam and he played around, he asked to send the cops to arrest me.
From this conversation I learned Gary Jones was not Indian or Asian because he couldn't pronounce my Indian name, the funny thing is he was acting as me Nandini Sharok ( Indian female name) and he could not even figure out that Nandini Sharok was a female name. Gary Jones could not even speak clearly, at the end i had to hang up.
Got a voicemail from this number claiming to be CID of IRS. I know I don't have any tax filing or compliance issues. I truly believe they're on a phishing expedition and should be stopped.
Same person called twice today and left messages with the same story. There will be a warrant for my arrest if I don't call him back, blah blah.. I am pretty sure it was an Asian accent. This guy could barely speak English. Why hasn't our government caught these scammers yet?
becareful of these idots!! they called me and my husband saying the same exact thing as they told all of you! in trouble for tax fraud when I have never worked in my life so ive never filed taxes! they are scammers
