I had this incident today , such a fake call trying to make it sound real and pranking it from 911 . This john schmaker guy is an idiot asking me to pay 2700$ on phone or 27,000 later ...
Got a call from what was flashed on my cell phone as 911. They left me a message to call back 202-470-6070 and speak to an officer. The officer (spoke with a thick accent) said we needed to pay money now or there would be cops at my door.....i called up local sherrif and they told that is was certainly a fake call and asked me to hang up which i did .....
They called from a +911 left a message to call this number, So i did and i didnt provide them with anything but the number and they got pissed off. Seemed they may be phishing for information as well.

Got a voice message from 911, a woman spoke and said, a federal complaint was filed against me by the department of Financial crimes and enforcement network. I was told to call back 202-470-6070 and ask for officer Tom O'Brien. When i called back the number, this guy said i owed $3800 to the IRS, for some back taxes from 2009. I could either pay him now or will be arrested. He told me to go to the nearest Drug store and buy Green dot money cards for $3800. He told me to be on the phone with him while i got those cards.
When I disconnected my phone, i got a call from 808 244 6400, number claiming that they are from the maui police department and i should call Mr.O'Brien immediately.
I have never heard of Green dot money cards, and i thought it was some kind of government card. I was stupid enough to go the store, to buy the cards. When i checked them, they looked like regular gift cards. So i told him, it sounds like a scam and i am going to the local police station. At that time he hung up. I went to the local police station, to check if there were any complaints against me, they checked and said there was none.
When i googled the 202-470-6070 number, it brought me here. Interestingly 808 244 6400, is really a Maui police station number.
