I got a phone call from this number saying that i was approved for a government grant of $15,000. I just had to make a $99 donation through western union to a man named Hanish Gupta over in India. It was going to fund children who have lost their parents. Once i did that i would be given my Grant money. I feel so stupid for doing it but, i did and once I transferred the money they told me that my grant would be wired to my account but i need to pay $299 as a wiring fee that the bank charges. I then new it was a fraud and hung up to try and cancel my transaction through western union but the money had already been picked up.... I am filing a police report and trying to get my money back. I should have typed the number into google before paying anything... this sucks!
Received a call from this number claiming to be IRS. Said I committed tax fraud and tax evasion. Threatened me with a warrant/arrest and jail time. Wanted partial payment to freeze the warrant and arrest. Asked if I had the money and if it was in my bank account. When I challenged her and said I wasn't giving her any info and she might not even be in this country she said she would be issuing a warrant and hung up.
Ya stated she was working for IRS and that i needed a criminal lawyer fraud and tax evasion and they called for two days leaving me a message to get ahold of them it was important i called back and they clearly couldnt keep the situation straight so i called my attorny and she said it was not real it was a scam
They called saying they were the crime investigating department of the IRS. Wanted to settle because they were going to arrest me if I didn't. Sounded like they were from Over seas. Bunch of idiots running that scam. she gave her name as Amy Logan ID # LE106154 with her broken English. She finally hung up on me.
