i received this same kind of call today at my home (new jersey.. Luckily we were not at home & it go to voice mail. When I searched this number on the web, I got this link. Thank goodness, I understand now.Mr.John Smith (calling from Criminal investigation) with heavy indian action.
Caller: State Deportart (NY)
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.

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..
