Number showed up on caller ID as STATEN ISLAND, NY. First guy talked as agent John Smith and spoke in English with weird accent. Said I have not paid my taxes since 2009 and there is a court order for my arrest, but he can make it go away if I pay $3780. I asked for interpreter and he said ok just a minute. But the same guy starts talking in Hindi. Such a stupid scammer..thinks I cannot figure out that it;s the same guy. When I question him who he is and his official title, he starts screaming saying you don't understand how big trouble you are into? there will be police on your doorstep to arrest you in 30 minutes if you don't settle this matter with money. I said fine I'll pay. He tells me to get a prepaid debit card from CVS and give him the number of that card. I laughed saying oh wow, since when does the court accepts debit gift cards as a form of payment? He got angry and starts yelling "now you will see there will be cops coming to arrest you in 30 minutes." Such a dumb scammer even by the standards of scammers.
Scammer. Said he was calling about legal filings against me. Called himself an officer. When asked about jurisdiction, said NYC. When challenged further, he hung up. The caller was a man with an accent typical of 1st generation immigrants from the African continent. Not to implicate everyone from there, but chances are this person is actually calling from overseas?
I got voicemail yesterday, asian girl, about criminal charges against me. When i called back at 7 pm, asian girl transfer to her supervisor and he claimed he is calling from Criminal Branch of Investigatio in NYC representing IRS. He tolad me I didn't pay taxes since 82 even though IRS mailed you many letters. You are under arrest,your US passport is cancelled, US citizenship is cancelled and you cannot travel out of country. Police will come and arrest you. When I asked about addres and he gave me wrong address and when I told I will discuss with lawer, he hang-up. I called today and they are still in operation and he was laughing. This should be stop by NYPD. Go to their address in Staten Island ( under name KAMARA A) and arrest them. Shame on them
I received the same call today. Guy name Michael Brown identified himself as an investigator from NYC Criminal Branch. When I started to argue with him, he hung up on me.. This should be resolved.
I get a call from him a few times each day!
John Smith. From the Crime investigation department(? which dosent even exist in the US)
Heavy indian accent
He says there are some criminal charges against my parents and gets frustrated and angry when you question him.
I called from another number gave my maiden name.
He stated that he was officer david somebody..(heavy ny accent).. stated he was from the police dept. He placed me on hold and I hung up..I knew hat this was a scam..
