Very difficult to understand person with Indian accent claiming legal action, warning I might be pulled in front of a magistrate, grand jury, federal court, God (you get the picture) for some totally unintelligible reason. But they want to help me . . . Right. I blocked the number.
A Robert James called and left a message. I called back the ph.# and heard a message from Anthony Cooper with US Treasury then i called back and spoke to Adam Jones he said they were a US Treasury official. Told me I had a fowl-up with my taxes in 2009 then they said 2011. I had to send the money immediately or a warrant for my arrest would be issued and I would be arrested at my door within an hour for 6 months. They told me to go and get cash from my bank and then got a Winn Dixie and get a pay voucher then call back and they would give me more infor to send the money. I started to ask lots of questions they began to stumble and get angry. they finally hung up after i had them on the phone for 45 minutes. I called them back and told them I had talked to the real US Treasury in DC they immediately hung up.

Someone just called threatening me about not paying taxes. I don't owe any taxes. I'm pretty sure it's a scam, cause when I called back, you could tell it was a personal call.
I was working as a loss prevention officer at a local retail store when a woman came in rather frantic asking about Green Dot Money cards. She was about to send her hard earned money [over $1,000.00] to this ... clown ... who said he was from the US Treasury and had a arrest warrant for this woman and her husband for unpaid taxes. She said that he was on the phone with her as she was in the store telling her what to do. I assured her that this was not protocol and that it was a scam. I asked if I could talk to him: Asked him the name of his burgh Chief's name and number, asked for the case/docket/ IBR number of her arrest warrant. Asked him for the federal code that has been violated that generated the action, asked him to give me the number of the local IRS or Treasury department number in our area. He asked me who I was, I answered an Economic Crimes/ Loss Prevention Detective. "Hello, ... Hello??? He hung up.
they called 2X this morning, when i called back, the message was that the number was not in service, please dial again?!?! WTF!! thanks for all the heads-up above!
