Female caller, said name, badge #, and phone #. Claimed I was fraudulent against U.S. Treasury with warrant issued if their not called in two hours. Obvious young college female attempting to sound official using commanding voice. Last week some guy called with same message. using voice over internet phone trough some business server. Phone number actually was house in CA in government house project. Caller ID showed name with number, If number isn't recognized let machine pickup call. Get to many solicitors failing to understand not interested and no money to donate.
I got a call today saying that I owed them money. I knew it was a scam immediately because he called my by my maiden name and I changed my name like 3 years ago. When I called him out and said that the US Treasure Dept wouldn't contact someone by phone and that if this was legit he would have my address and he could mail his request to me. He wasn't very happy about that and tried to scare me by saying "this is a very important and serious offense, you could go to jail". When I said he was lying he called me a bimbo several times and when I laughed at him he hung up.
They left voice mail msg which I received voice to text. Garbled so person leaving msg must have poor pronunciation skills. Msg said he was calling from legal for US Court regarding a law enforcement action. Call back number was completely different from "Dept of Treasury"number that called me.
they said his name was officer roy Jackson calling from united states treasury dept, he said he trying to reach me on a important matter, this guy had a foreign accent.
Recd call from 202 622 3000 saying I'm being charged with fraud by the treasury dept about $2000 plus I owe from a2002 to 2010 audit and I face significant time in jail. An arrest warrant was being issued immediately. I asked for the number he was calling from plus his name and gov I'd number. He said 347 518 1890 Gerald Cohen. Au7884. After I played along showing some reluctance. He said he transfer me persecution. I demanded he give me that number - 347 578 1501. Some male voice came on (sounding exactly like the original caller - heavy accent and identifying as Daniel sailor) saying the same thing as well as advising I contact a good criminal lawyer. I told him, "do what you have to do." And I hung up. I called the no. That came up on caller I'd. Intercept said disconnected treasury number. Also called 347 578 1501. Rang once, then nothing. Hung up and almost immediately my phone rang and the same voice asked if they could help. I said wrong number and hung up. Note: it is now 0900 and I haven't been arrested yet!
