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!!!

We received a call from 202-239-6652 and then three calls from 202-241-1305. The three times we picked up the phone there was a man on the other end with a heavy accent claiming to be from Crime Investigation Agency threatening to have my husband arrested if he didn't send a money order for $1276.00 to him. Even though there have been 2 different numbers, the person on the other in is the same. He tells us to go to CVS and wire him the money.
The one time he called and we let the answering machine pick up no one spoke but the background noise on the answering machine sounded like there were folks talking in the background like a party.
I want this caller to STOP calling us, I want the government to FIND this person and ARREST him! He is praying on weak people who are frightened easily. We are not intimidated by him.
My husband called the 202-241-1305 back and the person on the other end claimed to be Max Morgan and confirmed the request he had made. My husband asked for his "badge number" and he claimed it was "15939". We asked where he was and he said, "1111 Constitution Ave., Washington, DC".
Not much you can do, since the scammer/extortionists are located in India. They are pretty much bullet-proof and they know it. Can't arrest 'em. Can't stop them from calling.
