Same story, got call and answered, bad connection and call was lost but heard Indian accent, actually thought at first was my friend from India. Got second call I ignored, found this site. Now I know and have alerted my family to ignore them.
Caller had thick Indian accent and claimed to be officer Kevin smith from the state department of investigations. Called at 7:30am and again at 9:27am, leaving messages both times. Threatened legal action if call not returned.
Researched number and scripted message,
TOTAL SCAM !!
Reported them to the FTC. Don't mess with mama bear!
Just got a call from this fake "crime department", it sounded like another Nizerian Scam for Identity Theft and phishing scam. I am reporting to federal investigation agencies and FTC. Listening to the fake American accent, these rogues need to learn good English first. Definitely, this crime ring looks like operating out of US.
I received a call from same number with name 'Kevin' saying officer from IRS.when started questioning him saying IRS will never call people like this, said he is not from IRS but representing IRS.....thanks for this post it helped me!
Got a call from 202-241-2007, claiming to have approved a loan in my name. The man had an Indian accent. When I called back to tell them I did not apply for a loan he would not give me any information.
