Received a call from the number very formal folks who were identifying themselves as Federal Agents and asked that I have been at default on tax issue. I was given an option to settle out of court and pay $20,000 immediately. I informed the police and checked IRS site for any outstanding audits. None to be found. Its a prank.
received call and they stated that i have arrest warrants out under my name and they stated that they had my ssn as well however I called the police precinct in my area gave them this # and they confirmed for me that this is a SCAM!!
I got a similar call. He is posing as he is calling from Crime & Investigation dept. He has 3 criminal charges against me. If I don't call back, he will proceed with investigation. I called back. I got an answering machine but the messages were full. I couldn't leave any message. I tried repeatedly 3 times without success. He said heis name was Scott - Police officer. He sounded Middle Eastern accent.
today i got a phone call from this number: 810-223-0563, from Flint, Michigan. He stated that i have outstanding warrant under my name and my wifes name, and our SSN number. He said if you don't listen to the conversation of his chief, we will be arrested by the local law. The caller does not know in this country, if you need to arrest a criminal. you do not make a phone call; you come to their residence or their hideout with the arrest warrant and arrest the criminal. It seems like the caller is calling all of the Indians, including myself. My advice to all my friends, is do not panic and tell them to shut up, then hang up the phone. In addition,the caller himself sounds indian.
I had the exact thing happen to me on jan 10th 2013. Kind of scary since the guy knew my exact address. I did hang up right away. Just wondering what I should do? Should I go to police and report them? Should I be doing credit checks? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
