No, they are not!!! Don't give any information to them!!! They are f*&%^$g as#$&^#es trying to make easy money!!! I already submit a claim on Federal Trade Commission.
I'm sorry. Your story was here before I saw this thread. This story makes me particularly mad, because we are a country that welcomes immigrants.
No, this is not how our country works. The IRS is the Internal Revenue Service. They handle taxes. But....they never call you if they need to contact you. They will only do so by mail or in person.They do not have the authority to deport you.That falls under the jurisdiction of INS (Immigrations & Naturalization). They do not call either. They will contact you in person.
Any time a person posing as a government agent asks for a GreenDot card, you can bet it is a scam.
I got a call today from this number... He said his name is James Morgan and he is calling from IRS and he is from criminal Investigation branch and there is a lawsuit against me.. And i will be deported .. He says he doesn't want any money and nothing can be done... I am doomed.. What am i supposed to do now?
