We've been going through this since 7feb2014. Thc called @ 5:45am. A man claiming 2b a Mark Anderson,(another call from202-803-4758 on 12march2014 same guy) with a thick India accent, claiming 2b IRS and my spouse had reported income few few years back. This should have been a red flag 2me since my spouse hasn't worked for seven years now. The was no income. I got scared when he listed the things that going to happen to my spouse with immediately freezing of bank accounts, freezing of asset, seizing of passport, up to $25,000 in fine, and court cost...etc and the like the Sheriff was going to come and arrest me and arraign me right now. They knew all the right things to say, when to sound mean. I received a call from 571 207 0690 threatening me from IRS penalty and tax evasion... The person identified himself as Kevin Brown and said I need to pay $3600 by end of the day by wire transfer. The person (or computer) calling claims to be with the IRS, or the Sheriff's office, or some other law enforcement agency. Claims you owe back taxes and a fine, or you missed Jury duty and need to pay a fine, or you owe money on a [parking] ticket, etc., and you must pay right away, within the next 90 minutes. Go buy a Green Dot card for $xx.xx amount. Then call them back and give them the number on the card. Then they take the cash from the card, using the number you gave them, and steal your money. Sad 2say I paid up to $2100 b4 I paid attention 2the red flags. Heck I was on the phone, my cell, with an FBI agent trying 2report what was happening. I told the evil man,someone claiming 2b a Mark Anderson, that we'er hangng up now. With out even a heart beat he clain " fine if that is what you want to do. Your want to take your chances in court" ECT" I am just trying help you out. Just say you want your money refunded and we'll file tax evasion charges and you take your chance in court." etc etc etc. It was enough 2make question. What if I'm wrong and I am endangering my spouse ;-( These guys are pro's. DO NOT GET ON THE PHONE WITH THEM. Please learn from my mistake.
