Caller said he was from the US Treasury dept, and that I was delinquent in my taxes from 2012. Said it was too late to pay and that a warrant was already issued, but if I worked with them I could avoid 6 months in jail and $40K in fines/penalty/taxes. Wouldn't give me any specifics about me other than name, address, phone number. He said that they tired 'multiple' times to notify me by mail and in person, but no one was home. Threatened to end the call and have the officers pick me up every time I asked for information only the IRS or US Treasury would have. Wanted me to get a Payment Card and put the owed taxes/penalties on the card. His name was Jack Conoway, badge # 041396. Said not to worry, once I got the card it would have an activation # and Validation #, and that he only needed the Validation # . I Googled his phone number (Area code = Brooklyn & Queens, NY) found a lot of comments from others that sounded very familiar.
Phone call from Dept Legal Affairs US Treasury - 2012 Delinquent taxes. Wouldn't give me any information. Threatened an arrest in 45 minutes, wanted my lawyers name. Same scripted info as the other calls. Didn't ask me to pay or anything that you would think they would do to be out for money.
They called me saying they were from the US Treasury Dept and wanted my lawyers information so they could contact him....I told them I represent myself and it kind of blew his mind. I had fun with it on the phone. Never fall for anything over the phone.
He said his name is Jack Wilson, with an India/Pakistani accent
He's informing me of my arrest for I have owed $5,498.21 from the IRS since 2012. It's now December 2015.
He's working in Legal AffairsTreasury office in Brookyn NY.
