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 ...
A lady Eddie Brown called from number (682) 229-2400 claiming she is from Hudson Oaks Police Dept . She said I have committed federal offense and if i don't call the number 202 -470- 6070 and talk to officer Steven Fox within 45 mins they will issue arrest warrant in name and a sheriff will arrest me. Then when I called the number ,he said he is O Brain the officer working on my case, and I have committed a IRS fraud and asked me my zip code and said to pay $1999 by purchasing government card from Rite Aid Drug store nearby. He threatened me saying if hang the phone they will order shoot at site on me !!! I figured out its a scam and said them to issue the warrant and shoot out orders i don't care, he immediately disconnected the phone.
Same thing happened to me a few minutes ago. Until they hung up the call as I didn't budge to give my credit card / debit card number, I was in intense pressure and mental torture not able to decide whether the call to me was genuine or fake. These people should be booked and brought to justice.
I got the same call on July 23rd and I got panic. I called local police station and they said have no clue. When I googled this number and found that was a fake call
I also got the call from 202 number and a man sounds like an indian but trying to talk with an american accent saying the same story that I owe money to IRS if not paid now, police would come and arrest me.
I immediately figured it was a scam call and I asked him lot of silly questions that he cannot answer and hung up.
Not sure how they get our phone numbers.
IRS will never call anyone even if we really owe money to them. They send the letter first.
