I received 2 calls in a row from 'Steve Martin', who claimed to be a Federal Agent with the IRS. Male caller had an Indian accent. He told me that that U.S. federal agents had an arrest warrant in my name--for tax evasion! (I've gotten this call before, so I now know it's a scam).
I told the scammer, "You've called me before, and now I'm calling the police" and hung up on him. They don't seem to fear law enforcement. I keep getting these calls and don't know how to get them to stop.
Recording: an Indian-accented male by the name "Steve Martin" urges call back with business from the US Treasury and says things such as "this will be a deliberate refusal of second attempt" and mentions court and Federal Magistrate. I did not call the given number. Message repeats in a loop and gives another call-back number as well.
I just got the exact same call with the same Indian accented looped message which sounds very threatening. I am not calling back and if I can help stop this person, I would love to.
same here, I just hang up on these nonsense bs calls. I can't imagine anyone responding to this kind of call, but there must some who do otherwise they wouldn't be doing it. My favorite and most annoying that I get 3, 4 times each week and begins: "HELLO SENIORS!!!!" I'd like to meet this guy face to face someday....
I got it twice today too. Grand Jury and Federal Criminal Offense is mentioned. Come on. An enforcement action from U S Treasury....complete bs and I wouldn't call back.
