I received a call on this number today (7/29/14) and did not pick it up. I could hardly understand it because of the poor quality of the VOIP connection. No ones name was mentioned and we were told we need to call back about a serious legal matter and that our attorney at hand. He said he was officer John Parker.If you don't return the call about the items here, the only thing I can do is wish you very good luck about the legal situation. Blah, Blah, Blah. Glad I looked up the number as I knew we didn't have any legal situations that needed attention!
I also have received call from this number 202-459-9868 in Indian saying that I have an issue with IRS, if I don't take any actions right at the moment I will get arrested and will have to go to the court. I asked what I need to do to fix the problem he told me I have to talk to his supervisor and send $4850.00. It is a SCAM!!!
About 10 minutes ago, two identical calls came within 10 minutes from each other from this scam number. "IRS Officer John Parker" threatened immediate legal action unless ...... blah blah blah .... The first time my name was not mentioned. The second time my first name was used. Scary that they got my name!!!
Received this message from a kid with an Indian accent reading from a script. The text was transcribed automatically.
"This call is from the IRS Internal Revenue Service. This message is intended to you. The ready second you receive this message I need you or your retained attorney off record to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely down sensitive and very urgent. My name is officer Mike Johnson. The number to reach me directly on my division is 2024599868. i-repeat(?) that's 2024599868. Don't disregard this message and do return the call for-don-or(?) Don regarding fire don't heal from your journey either then the only thing I can do is wish you good luck as the situation badly unfolds on you. Goodbye."
There was another one earlier. I suspect they scour Facebook and G+ for you name.
And another call 30 minutes later, this time from a different "agent". Since this is an overseas call on a noisy line spoofed from a Washington, DC number, there were intermittent gaps and pops in the sound. Here it is for your delectation:
"You or your retained attorney off racket to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive business officer John Parker and the hotline to my dealership is 2024599868. I repeat for you. 4599868. Don't disregard this message. Andrew you call now. If you don't return the call. If I don't see-you-from(?) your attorney either then the only thing which I can do is to wish you a very good luck as the legal to tell-you-that-the-folds(?) on you. Till then take care and have a great day."
