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.
I got a call from this guy. Asked for my mother, who died 3years ago. Said he was from the criminal divisional and had authority to cancel her citizenship and passport due to tax evasion. I told him she was dead and go ahead and cancel!
What an idiot. Why can't anyone stop this guy? The number must be traceable .
I got a call from this number asking for my mother by name. He said he was with the criminal division and he had authority to cancel her passport and citizenship because of tax evasion. He's obviously praying on immigrants.
I told him my mother died in 2010 and he can cancel away. Why can't anyone stop this guy? The number must be traceable.
I am an attorney and a client got the same call this morning from John Smith at this number. PLEASE do not give this guy your SS# or any identifying information. We are going to do what we can to have the authorities find him/them.
I'm also an attorney. Each time I called on behalf of my client, a different "John Smith" answered. I asked who they are with, i.e. NYPD, FBI, etc. He started cursing at me in hindi (I know this because he told me "I'm cursing at you in hindi right now motherf**er.") Then he hung up the phone. These guys cannot do anything. Do not give them the time of day.
Received same call today from Officer John Smith (my foot). I don't know what these people are up to. I am an educated man and I knew right away this is some sort of scam. Why can't local police do something to stop these morons!
