I got a call from this number too and heavy indian accent guy asking for my dad. I advised he is not home, he asks for his cell number. I couldn't exactly understand what he was saying so i hang up the call. He called again almost harassing me.he said he is calling from crime investigation department and want to talk to my dad ASAP. refuse to give me his name or manager's info- SCAM SCAM- Report them-
I got the call as well! Feds investigation! It is a scam Indian. Please make sure you check and protect all your confidential information. Identity theft is at all time high!!
Maybe the same scam calling folks regarding their computer " has a virus"
Just as the other posts have stated, he sounded like a scammer. This gentleman had a thick Indian accent and claimed he was an officer. I noticed the number called at least 2 other times before leaving a message. Claimed there were several counts of identity theft in our name.
The guy seems to be a pain in the neck. In last 10 days have called us several time. Doesn't know enough about the IRS. He told me to pay $2500 or he will get me arrested in 45 minutes. I invited him to get me arrested and hung up on him. He still keeps calling. I called Local Police and informed them but did not get help. They are aware of the scam and advised me to contact IRS because this joker is pretending to be a IRS Agent. Next I am going to Call IRS and see what they have to say. I hear some people have paid so that encourages these scammers but we need to fight them and bring them to Justice.
he call me left the message, saying something lke fedral agent and bla.. bla..., I replay that message several time but could not understand the heavy and deep voice with broken words, made me that call very suspicious.
