PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND RELATED PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- they are also impersonating DEA officials / IRS / FAKE LAW FIRMS etc.... with threats to arrest you unless you immediately send money via wire transfer / western union to some offshore country !!!!! obvious scam !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign call centers / countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers mostly 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 / calling on behalf of a humane society..... $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 / give ....just provide your bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
My company received an automated call claiming to be from the IRS filing a lawsuit and this number 202-602-0047 was the call back number for the scammers.
Called saying that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me. I googled the number and found numerous people saying the same thing has happened. Scammer to the max
I just got a VM from this number. Saying its the IRS. Didnt say a name or anything. Very poor sound quality. Saying its my final notice and im being sued. I didnt have any other notice. Checked all my emails, paperwork, and found it weird. Seeing everyone else having the same problem, makes me feel a bit better.
