Who called from 2022412584

Received the following email along with three phone calls stating that if I didn't call I would be arrested. Clearly a foreign speaking person sounded like they were from India. Went by the name Michael Matthews. I'm a stay at home mom with not only a clean drivers record but a clean background. They even attacked a fake picture of a supposed arrest warrant . Supposedly coming from the government . Lol. Do u know how common my maiden name is.  The email phone calls both were addressed to my maiden name . I have been married for fifteen yrs. These people seriously need to do their homework.

This is an India or Pakistan based scam
Read http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm
The IRS does not initiate any legal action via phone. The scammers use voice over IP lines (e.g. magicjack (Ymax corporation). This is always against these companys' terms of use and can lead to termination of their contract. However only law enforcement can initiate the contact if you yourself are not a customer. Therefore, report it also to your local law enforcement agency. Ultimately this is a case for the FBI legal attache in Islamabad or New Delhi. If you are really annoyed: call or write to your representative in Congress. As these scams happen all over the country maybe this will trigger a reaction (and the NSA can finally be a force for good).

Dear Senator/Representative XXX

As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to demand decisive action from the FBI, the IRS and other federal agencies against organized crime directed against American citizens from abroad.

As widely reported by local and national media all across the United States and warned about by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (see http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/press/press_tigta-2014-03.htm) a tidal wave of fraud using Internet phones has hit the United States. Millions of dollars already have been stolen by criminals impersonating federal officers while hiding in countries like India and Pakistan, where most of the calls originate. There seems to be no end of it in sight.

I have personally been targeted by these scammers but it is the most vulnerable among us that I am concerned about primarily. The scheme is specifically singling out those that can least defend themselves against these crimes, in particular the elderly. I am also worried that given the origin of these gangsters, the money stolen from US citizens may be used for financing of terrorism or other activities directed against the national interests of the United States. But in spite of this clear and present danger to our country and its citizens I have seen no action worth mentioning by the FBI, the IRS or other federal agencies so far.

As a member of Congress overseeing the law enforcement agencies tasked with fighting fraud and ensuring national security, I implore you to make sure that they act on these threats and are given all the necessary resources to target these criminals in cooperation with foreign law enforcement.

Yours sincerely

Rec'd 2 of the same emails yesterday one from Patterson and one from Katz with the same information. I sent a copy to my Attorney Generals Office. Just for the record, the courts or lawyers do not use emails to contact you. They deliver a summons to your door or send you a certified letter.

>>> Just for the record, the courts or lawyers do not use emails to contact you. <<<

Just to be more completely accurate, a court *may* contact a *lawyer* by email if he or she has expressly or implicitly consented to allow such communication, e.g., where putting an email address on your bar registration constitutes consent to receive service via email, or where electronic filing of cases is allowed or mandatory.  But the initial complaint still has to be served properly on the defendant -- at least if the lawyer is not, himself or herself, the defendant.

Also, you may receive a "heads up" from either or both sides of a civil case before a subpoena for your testimony or to produce documents in your possession is served.  In these cases, you would not be a party to the case and you would be notified well in advance of any trial and the party issuing the subpoena may be required to include a check with a small fee made out to you for the subpoena to be valid.  

Check with an attorney in your state for real legal advice.  Depending upon free legal advice from anonymous people on the Internet is foolhardy.

This is hilarious, first they use the name of a "law furm" that is using a free E mail address.  Wow what kind of lawyer can't even spell firm?  "Their" should be there, "on your name"?, "Before the courtcase is file in order to get a Resolution before" they ran court case into one word, and misspelled filed, and why is resolution capitalized?, "you get in any trouble at your home or job. " what kind of trouble could you get into at home over this?

An E mail from a private law firm, but not signed and it says: "United States Attorney General ".  Somehow I don't think that Eric Holder is holding two jobs.  I would also hope that he would be able to compose a much better communication than this.  Another Google translation failure especially when it is used by low life illiterate criminals.
