Received a call first from a Nigile; said he was from the Dept of Legal Affairs at US Treasury and that I was to call Angela Johnson at 347-926-7026. I called and Angela (whom she said she is from the Dept of Legal Affairs of the US Treasury) said there is an arrest warrant out for me for business taxes from 2008 in the amount of $80,057.00. Angela said I could do a settlement and/or pay plan. I said I don't recall owing for 2008. Angela said did you not receive a CP503. I said no. Angela said several notices were sent to you with no response from me. Angela said Chris Evans the IRS Officer will be out to arrest me. Angela said I would have to pay $3000 toward the taxes owed. I told Angela I don't have that kind of money. Angela asked how much do I have to put down on the taxes? I said only about $1000. Angela instructed me to go to Walmart and ask for a green dot money pak voucher. Angela told me not to hang up because she has the officers on the other end; and if I hang up the officers will come to arrest me. Angela said they have had others who promised to do it immediately and never did; so now you must stay on the line with her until the money transaction is done. Angela told me that I have only 30 minutes to complete the down payment on the taxes until the officers come to my place or work or home to arrest me. Angela said after the down payment is made, IRS will send me documentation of it and set me up on a pay plan and/or settlement amount. My husband and I went to Walmart to do as she had requested. I had to go to the Money Booth and asked for a green dot money pak voucher. (of which Angela told me not to say it was for taxes or Walmart will charge me a percentage and not the typical $4.95) for a voucher. I asked the woman for a voucher and she said for how much, and I said for $1000. She then said she needs to know what it is for. I hesitated because Angela told me not to say taxes or I would have to pay a percentage. The woman at the Money Booth said "I am just trying to protect you because there have been many scams lately"; of which there was just one for about the same where a woman paid $3500 and was scammed. The woman at the Money Booth put in a call for Walmart security. His name was Justin. Well Justin got on my cell phone with Angela and said a few words and Angela hung up on him. Justin told me it was a scam and that I should report this to my local authorities.
I have been receiving calls from sereral 347 numbers over the last couple of months. They are claiming to be with the IRS and the Legal Dept. One of them was creative enought to give me an ext as well as an employee ID number. The best part is, they answer the phone, pretend t transfer you to the ext and they themselves are the same person! NONE of them speak English. When I began asking questions they typically hang up. I have had one of them go as far as to read me a 'legal' statement and claim they are recording it and in this statement the say they are coming to get me right now and take me to jail for 6 months for tax fraud. Again, when I began asking questions they hung up. They are very persistant in their calls, calling 4-5 times daily, but I have just stopped answering them and let them leave a voice mail.
I have also reported it to my local police dept who says they are aware of them, but unfortunately cannot do anything as the calls are coming from overseas. But they did direct me to this site in order to make others aware.
I received a call from an Angela.she insisted if I hung up and did not pay money to IRS I would be arrested. I currently have a dispute with IRS. They frightened me to the point I almost gave it to them.
Why isn't the government doing something to protect the public from these awful people.i called her back today to ask her how much money they made today?
