Someone who called himself Greg Brown of State Investigation Department of the IRS, called us this morning, threatening to get us arrested unless we paid $3000 plus change immediately - and not by check or money order or credit card! The only address he gave us was
IRS
Pennsylvania
The person had a thick African accent, but we could hear another person in the background speaking in Hindi. After wasting a good 45 minutes, we hung up the phone.
I received a phone call from this number and the person left a message that he is an officer "Jim Parker" and he is from "Security Theft Department". He said that someone file a affidavit against me and he is ready to start legal action against me and time is an essence and i should call him immediately.
So i called back this number and the person picked the phone said "Security Theft Department" and then i asked him to provide the Address and Phone number of Police Department, he hanged up.
I called the number again and he said "[***] your self". His accent seems like some one from "South Asia",as i am from South Asia and can identify the accent.
I will call our local Police Department and report this incident.
Same thing here ... office was/is Edwin Jones. Could not really understand what he was saying other than that I am responsible for legal action against me :) I am planning to call him anyway ... sounds legit ;)
Got a call today from this number and advised that I have a legal action on my name and it is urgent and emergency to call back. He reported his name as Paul Wilson. Called back to the number it is definitely a Asian Voice. Told them I will report to Police. She told not to call back again.
