Caller stated there was a warrant for my arrest by the IRS. When I explained I am an investigator with the federal government they began to say vulgar things to me as well as curse and say F*** Y***. I hung up.
This is a SCAM. These people are posing as IRS personnel and attempting to scam money out of people by threatening us with arrest. They first called me pretending to be IRS and accusing me of crimes. Then they called me back a few hours later and posed as police. The guy had a heavy accent and spoke terrible English, obviously reading from a script. Do not give them personal information or call back. Immediately report the incident to TIGTA: http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report.shtml
I received a call from 202-506-8894 a person saying they were from the IRS. Spoke terrible English, he said he was officer John Parker from the tax crime unit of the IRS.
I've contacted my STATES ATTORNEYS OFFICE and the IRS. These people need to be stopped!!!
I received the same call from that number. I could barely understand the message because it was broken English but he identified himself as "Officer John Parker" of Tax Crimes. I have contacted the IRS and will report it locally as well. Thanks for listing the information--seems Mr. Parker was quite busy trying to scam people today. They do need to be stopped!
