more than likely ( 99 % ) one of the several " 202" area code fraud scams going around !!!
PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc
I just received a call from this scum in India. Called back told them I knew they were complete frauds and told them to cease all calls to me. They hung up on me. Will now wait and what happens.
Caller spoke English with heavy accent, claiming to be Harry Smith from Microsoft stating my computer was infected and was downloading massive amounts of data.
I got suspicious and found this site with google. Glad I did a search.
Call from 202.534.3926 with heavy accent claiming his name to be "Officer Jason Miller" from the IRS Internal Revenue Service requiring a call back immediately to 716.442.3058.
I GOT THIS CALL TNIGHT CLAIMAING TO BE SOMEONE FROM THE IRS AND THAT THEY WILL TAKE MY HOUSE AWAY ETC. NOTE THAT IT IS FROM WASHINGTON D.C AND SO IT SOUNDS LEGIT... WHEN YOU CALL THE PERSON WILL TAKE THE CALL AS IRS AND TRANSFER YOU TO ANOTHER OPERATOR. THEY SOUND JAMAICAN OR NIGERIAN. ONE OF THEM IS A LATINO. THEY CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH PROPERLY AND WILL USE THE THREAT OF ARREST. DO NOT GIVE ANY CREDIT CARD OR SOC SEC NUMBER. TELL THEM YOU WILL CALL THE LOCAL POLICE FIRST
