I received a similar call from one "Officer David Marshall". Verified online it is a Puerto Rico number: 787-001-0900, but he gave me his number as 916-210-1916. When I asked him why is this number different from what I see on my phone, he was flustered.
A Hispanic sounding guy talked tough for 3 minutes. When I asked him, he said he was calling form "state investigative dept". When I asked about the case, he said he was getting my case file. After a minute, he came back saying there is a criminal case pending and arrest warrant has been issued. When I asked him to send me in writing, he said it was sent earlier and there was no response. Obviously it was a lie. He talks tough and rattles off some rule. When I asked who filed complaint, he said IRS. Said they are gong to put us in jail through local police. Looks like they are trying to shake down unsuspecting people.
Got the same call saying we are in trouble and an arrest warrant is issued for my wife and I because we didn't pay the taxes. We I started asking lots of questions the line got disconnected. Called again and hung up because they didn't have the answers for me. At this point we were sure its a prank call. So called a while later and told that their message on the machine name and phone# is give to the local police dept. and will be investigated. They hung up right away. We kept on calling them just to get back but obviously no answer. Their prank backfired.
Same call. "Officer David Marshall". Verified online it is a california # to see where i was calling. Called. Hispanic sounding guy talked tough for 1 minute. said he was getting my case file. Transferred to " senior supervisor". Would not say what office other than "state investigative dept". 2nd guy said legal brief filed, criminal charges, rattled off some rule and asked if we would settle out of court. Didn't know you could settle criminal charges out of court!!! Anyway asked who filed brief and he said IRS. Didn't know IRS would file a brief with california when i live in michigan. Said they are gong to cancel my passport and "blackball" my credit. 2nd guy sounded Indian origin. More questions then "click". Called back and told them they may be recorded and first guy blustered. Another "click". Looks like they are trying to shake down uneducated Indians. Copied their recording and am taking to the local police department today
Same call. Almost same as balaji explained. I live in california, they even transferred to fake police station. I could hear local police station automated recording and then I talked to fake police officer. When I said I myself will come to police station and will call this number. He got mad more and hangup.
This is team of at least 4 people. I am really surprised when I tried to call today on this number, the same lady picks up and calmly greets you to "Crime Investigation Department". !
