415-829-9429

Full of bull!!!!

Threats to call back or face a magistrate.Scam Obviously.

voice of east indian threatening federal action. at least use an english as first language person for your scam.

Got a message from (415) 829-9429. I did not get all of the message but the latter part said demanded I contact this person to avoid going before a magistrate and grand jury for Federal charges.

First of all, WE DO NOT HAVE MAGISTRATES IN THE UNITED STATES! THIS IS NOT ENGLAND YOU DUMB A------SES!! Second, we, the citizens of the freest country on Earth have your number- as well as every Attorney General represented in our country (including DC and the US territories). I suggest you all get a f----ng life!!  Do not call me or anybody else anymore!!!!

I got a message from this phone number today, too.  Very threatening voice that left the message.  They had an obviously thick accent and my husband called them back asking if their call was a scam and they hung up.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Received the call at 9:45 AM today (caller ID only said "San Francisco") demanding that I call back if I did not want the Magistrate (is this England?) to come and arrest me on Federal charges.  The male caller had a very slight accent, impossible to tell where he was from.  The message kept repeating, I finally had to answer and immediately hang up.

repeated calls this morning.  Pick-up-hang-up does not seem to stop these calls.  ID states San Francisco.

Received 4 messages from the same number - man with accent - called back - no answer- sick of this and will report him- in message called himself Steve Martin-

I received a call this morning which was left on my voice mail.

The first part of the message was cut off indicating this was a robotic caller, but the message repeated at least 3 times which gave me the full text below.

Call Received on voice mail at 1/27/2015 9:27am MT.
Call text transcribed from the voice mail message:

<quote>
Hi, My name is Steve Martin and I'm calling you regarding an enforcement action executed by the US Treasury intending your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid an issue appearance before a Magistrate Judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 415-829-9429. I repeat 415-829-9429.
I'd like you to corporate with us and help us help you, thank you.

The robotic voice message repeated 3 times with the exact same message text.

This is an obvious scam.

The first indication of a problem with the courts for "criminal" charges would be paperwork in the form of a summons, a warrant issued for an arrest and/or police officers showing up to have a conversation with you in person. You would not be notified via a robotic caller.

Tried calling the number left on the voice mail, but got a busy signal.

Got exact msg on my answering machine this morning, 1/27/15, at 9:29 a.m.  Male with low-class British English accent, who pronounces "advise" as "adwise" (East Indian, yes).  "Hi.  My name is Steve Martin and I'm calling you regarding an enforcement action executed by the US Treasury intending your serious attention.  Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid an initial(?) appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offense.  My number is 415-829-9429.  I repeat, 415-829-9429.  I advise ("v" pronounced as "w")  you to cooperate with us and help us to help you.  Thank you."  (all spoken in a threatening and aggressive tone).  I called police dispatch, then the Idaho AG's office, then the FTC (filed a report), then Idaho Senator Risch's office, who recommended a I file a report at www.TIGTA.gov (Treasury Inspector General Tax Administration) assuming this is the IRS scam, altho I didn't speak with the caller or call him back.  I filed an on-line report, because TIGTA's voicemail was full from complaints about this latest scam.  Dexknows told me that the number was a landline in San Francisco served by MPower Comm, which has been bought by Telepacific, whom I called and got a promise that they would check out the carrier, but they assumed that it is a spoofed number.  I called my phone carrier, but they won't release the records w/o a police subpoena, so I called Dispatch again, and the police won't pursue an investigation unless I suffered a monetary loss or a PII (personal identifying info) loss, which I didn't.  Interesting that Wikipedia reports a spoofing scandal involving "Pacific Telecommunications" in 2013 (sound like TelePacific to you?).  So I'm at a dead end, but did call Senator Risch's office back to reiterate that I don't enjoy being threatened in the privacy of my own home by a foreign national.  (The fraud expert at TelePacific says "everybody knows" these calls are from India...)

I got the exact same message on my answering machine as well this morning!  I did notify the IRS and filled complaints with the TIGTA and also the Do Not Call list.

HA HA I finally got my first call from good ole Indian criminal "Steve Martin", after reading about him on this website for a long time.  Three identical messages in a row this afternoon on my machine.  Same as reported above.  I've also reported this to no mo ro bo so that they can hopefully block the number.  Of course the crooks will just spoof another number.  No matter, I found it laughable.
