I received a similar call and same pattern- " there are federal complaints against you.......call officer Tom Savran" The person appear to be male with accent and hard to get a complete picture.Most likely an Indian accent with fast pace sentences.
I plan to notify FTC and other agencies to stop these annoying calls.What else can be done to STOP this scam?
I received a message from "Officer Michael Black" telling me I needed to call him back because there has been a complaint lodged against my name (which by the way, he didn't even get right). He said I had to call him to find out "what is going on". His accent was so heavy I had to listen to the message several times just to get the drift of what he was attempting to threaten me with. I am tempted to give him a call just to pretend that I'm worried about being arrested, but I also recall hearing about scams asking or telling you to call back, and then you get a gigantic phone bill and THAT is the scam. I'm talking THOUSANDS of dollars!!! So I will resist the temptation to play with these jerks and just hope nobody gets fooled by these criminals!
Its illegal to impersonate a officer and of course, any of the other agency's as well! None of them are going to call you and try to extort money out of you, the IRS is going to mail you about problems, and the rest would just show up unannounced and just arrest you if your a criminal! The threats are scare tactics (extortion) to scam you out of money! Debt collection is also a civil matter.. and they have to follow FDCPA laws in accordance..
Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
I got the same call that we owe $$ from 2010 and there is going to be arrest warrant within 30 min. I google and saw this post. The guy sounded indian ...
