L"Steve Martin" left message that unless I called him back I could be called before a magistrate or grand jury. Not going there.

Called at 7:30 am to say I owed taxes and I was going to jail.  Caller was impersonating a federal officer and told me this was my second warning on evading taxes.  I told him this was not true; he replied I was going to get arrested and hung up.  I called back and got a "Magic Jack" message.  I called again and said I wanted to pay taxes and the man said arbitrarily that it was $15,000!  I asked him my tax ID and  he hung up.

This I'm sure is a felony offense to impersonate a federal officer...

It is an overseas scam.

Got a call and the message was basically the same as all the above re: magistrate, second attempt, etc. Caller had an accent. English not first language. Total scam.

Same call as those below report. Guess I'll wait for the handcuffs to arrive! SCAM

I called the guy back and started harassing him. I got out my 2011 tax return, (I know OCD) and started questioning him. He didn't like that too much. I told him I was recording the call and reporting him to the IRS and Treasury Dept. Next day he calls again. I answered "Hello. 911 state your emergency" click. [***] Get a real job you stupid foreign prick.

Just recieved call did not answer but was left a nasty message first he cleary has a strong accent not sure how he got steve martin as a name but he proceeded to tell me this was 2nd attempt to collect for us treasure and that i owe and will end up before a judge or jury do not fall for this it is a total scam wish i could find him its sad and i hope nobody is falling for this

Great links ^^^^

Same story here... called my cell at noon on 2-13-2015, same exact story as all of the above.  Damn scammers!

I got the same call--my second warning and that I would be brought before a judge or magistrate if I did not respond. What a jerk.

Got the same call.  Funny I had just filed my taxes like I do this time EVER year.  Might have been a little more believable had it been a none pre recorded message and in an American accent.

Got same call from Steve Martin today,
With the same line everyone else got about
Taxes, what a jack [***] calling on a federal holiday he didn't even get it and put two and two together when I asked why he's working on a holiday... SCAM

Got a call from Steve Martin who was calling from "Treasury Department". I got similar calls a gazillon times last year and they stopped calling at some point. I thought they got busted by authority. Now it came back. I guess they call around at tax time and this will last at least  a few more months... Annoying.

Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan, not much is going to happen there unless the foreign country's decide to co-operate.

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.

Same message--Steve Martin (with a very strong accent) from the treasury department threatening that it was my second offense and I needed to appear before a magistrate judge or some such and that I was in a lot of trouble. This is the second message of this nature I have received. I googled the number and found I was not the only one.  Jerk.

Same as above: recording, 'Steve Martin', foreign accent, some BS about Federal investigation - caller ID said Garcia Miller.
I could see this really frightening some people.

These people need to get a job and quit preying on honest hard working people.  There has got to be someway of stopping this.

Got the same BS message as everyone else left on my voice mail. The real kicker was that it was a recorded message that cycled over 4 times with the same exact message before terminating. He must have had his machine on some form of loop setting.  What a jerk.

Feb. 19, 2015, at 1:15 pm today I received a phone call from 1-707-637-9215 (Steve Martin) telling me that I was going to be brought before a Magistrate for unpaid taxes.

I called back and a, "Caroline" answered saying she was the Treasury Dept.  I asked why she was trying to scam me.

She hung up immediately.

dont give him any Ideas lol
