They called leaving a message that I had to call the in reference to an arrest warrant, said her name was Ashely Robinson extension 9211. When I called I had to leave a message, they called me back saying they calling about an investigation for Donna W Loftin. My middle initial is not W, I believe they obtained my name as I left it when I called and left them a message. This was a very disturbing call and I see from the website that they have done this to others.
Same instance here. My cell phone rang with the # +1 (911) so I answer the call and a man tells me that a warrant is being issued for my arrest within the next 3 hours unless I call the same number listed on the above posts to talk to agent Ashley Robertson ext 9211. So I call her and she gives me a case number and informs me that I'm in violation of at least 5 international banking and wire transfer laws from an unpaid loan to a company called ACS Financial in the amount of $1200. I ask her who this con
I ask her who this company is and she informs me that she's not at liberty to disclosure the particulars of the case, she's just from the Treasury Department and is informing me of the warrant being served within three hours. I ask her what I need to do next and she tells me that there's one last chance to stop the warrant if she transfers me to another person who's able to collect on the debt. I tell her I'm going to be calling my lawyer and she informs me that's my right and hangs up. The next day they call me back and say they never heard from my lawyer so if I don't give them the money within three hours they'll download the warrant, out a red mark next to my name, ruin my credit, destroy my job, and the amount due will escalate from $1200 to $10,000! LOL! I told them to go F themselves and hung up.
These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.
If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.
It's a phone scam.In fact, it tops the IRS "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams this year, and it's been surging in recent months, the agency said Thursday.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), which oversees the IRS, has received reports of 290,000 scam calls since October 2013 and said nearly 3,000 victims have been swindled out of $14 million so far.
By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.
Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.
They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.
Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.
The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.
If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.
I am a retired, disabled person. I got a call from this number 1-301-327-6500 saying I am going to jail for a loan I supposedly took and did not pay on. I have no such loan out and I told them off. They are claiming they are a criminal investigation unit.
