Got the same call as everyone else on this thread. First from "Thomas O'Brien" and then when I asked to speak to his manager it was "Michael Black". When I asked if they were actually from India, he said, "no, Pakistan." He wouldn't get off the phone even though our conversation became ridiculous and it was probably quite clear to him that I would not be giving him a Debit Card number. What a nuisance. I reported them online to the FTC and IRS but doubtful they can do anything so I really hope noone is falling for this idiotic scam.
Just received a call from this number...asking for one of our doctors. Caller identified himself as Officer Shawn Woods...said the physician was involved in a federal case and an arrest warrant was issued. Said the physician needed to call back right away. Staff member and I called back to verify number. When pressed a bit further and asking for something in writing, they were unable to provide anything...only stated something would be delivered before 5pm. Told him we are reporting number to which he replied "No, no" and hung up on us.
Anyone who is getting a call from this # on IRS I61 Form they should report it to IRS. IRS does know about this scam and they are asking people to report the #s, outside of 202-864-0297, these scammers use #s with NY/NJ Area code as well.
This guy is shameless and bothers people. Awful accent and so persistent and not convincing. He may be giving one area code but actually calling from another. Someone needs to take action and arrest this guy. We will be reporting it to the FEDS soon so if you are the guy whose calling and reading this you will hear soon.
