I just got a call from this number stating its officer mike anderson and they have a warrant for my arrest. I called them back and told those little [***] to stop calling with fake [***]. And I'm reporting them for to the police department for posing as a police officer.
Called as "mike" who was state police dept officer and had warrent for arrest . He was very rude and totally a scammer!!!! DO NOT BE SCARED and report this fraud idiot!
A guy with a very thick, difficult-to-understand South Asian accent calls me every week or so on this number, claiming to be from the "Crime Investigation Department", whatever the heck that is.
DO NOT BELIEVE OR GIVE IN TO WHAT THESE GUYS SAY. This is a phone scam using fear tactics to get money from you. From what I've seen, it's mostly targeted to folks of Punjabi or South Asian decent. It is likely they find a phone number to older folks with Punjabi or Indian-sounding names on the Internet.
These types of crimes are extremely common. (See http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2013/04/2 ... rly-Couple.html) If you're not sure if they're the real deal, ask them very specific questions. Ask them what agency they're with. Ask the person for his/her name. Even go as far as looking them up online while you're talking to them.
Finally, keep in mind that if a warrant for your arrest has ever been issued, THEY WON'T CALL YOU! The police or agents will just show up on your doorstep. They don't give you the chance to flee.
These guys have called several times and left messages on my machine. I actually answered this time and informed them that I know they're fake and that I've reported them several times. The guy just said, "Okay," and hung up. That should be enough to know that they are impersonators.
ONE LAST THING: If you find out that they are scammers, file a complaint with the FTC! https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en This will keep them from scamming unsuspecting folks in the future, especially the elderly.
Received a call from this number posing as Federal Crime Investigation department that I have 3 allegations and local police is coming to arrest me. I owe IRS money from 2010 and 2011 and the DA can settle down right now. I have 30 minutes to decide, do not discuss with anyone, I am trying to help you. I should go to the bank right now, keep my cell phone on all the time because the phone is being recorded. Withdraw the money right now and the officer will be at your door to collect the money. I asked for 5 minutes time to verify but they did not want me to hang up the phone because the phone is being recorded. If I hang up the phone, the case will go to the court and I will have to pay 45K court fee. I reported the matter to the local police station but the police said they already have 10 reports. It is a scam. Please do not believe them.
