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)
i got same call today morning saying if u will not call back u will be in trouble that was on answering machine because generally we do not answer phone if we do not know.
on March 19th, somebody (from # 718-989-4671) called my sister at her landline phone
The Caller person threatened my sister as under.
“You must have to pay $ 7000 right now towards IRS unpaid taxes for the year 2011. If you do not pay $ 7000 over telephone at this moment, police will come to you and arrest you & your husband in 30 minutes. We do not accept check. You must have to pay by gift cards”
My sister scared. She immediately went to bank, withdrew $ 7000 from her bank account, from Kroger, CVS Pharmacy etc stores and scratched gift cards and provided numbers mentioned on back side of the cards to the Caller & paid $ 7000. It took around 2 hours. During this time, telephone line was continued and caller was threatening my sister continuously over the phone. Thus, my sister paid $ 7000 over phone within two hours to the Caller.
I request you to look in to the matter seriously and arrest the person concerned

Received a call from 718-989-4671 ext 3009. Caller identified himself as Sr. Chief Officer William, State Investigator, NY. He said that I had not paid taxes and that if I did not agree to pay $35,000 right now he would go ahead and issue an arrest warrant. Fortunately I came to this website and realized that this is a big scam.
These are Indian calling from a call center. I asked the girl how much she charges. She hung up. I called 15 times and used choicest words. Dial *671 followed by their number, using cell phone. They won't be able to see your pHone number.
