They said they wanted to arrest me

Someone called about some warrant for my arrest. Caller under the name of Fergie Johnson. Definitely a scam

Yeah, they have a warrant out for me and  wanted to arrest me too. His name I think is Tony Parker. The number they gave me is 202-241-2126 , 202-241-8978,  and 202-241-2083.

Called me as well.  Stated that he was from the crimes investigation unit of the IRS. Said that if I didn't call back a Police Man from the local area would come and arrest me.  

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

The message was so garbled by a thick accent I couldn't even tell what the heck he wanted.  I think I did hear something about an arrest warrant.  

I heard a chime melody when I answered my phone at 6 pm this evening, I knew it was either a telemarketer or some other scam caller. Before the caller said anything I said "who this f*ck is this?" the caller seemed quite shocked and said "you shouldn't use that word". I continued with the foulest language I could muster until exasperated the caller said "f*ck you". I don't know is this will stop these people from calling me but it was fun to get the upper hand for once.

This number called me twice: first time to tell me that I was in some sort of trouble and if I did not call back, good luck to me and blessings too-since I was pretty much on my own; second time called to tell me that there is an investigation warrant by police for me. Just plain annoying!

just got this call and Peter Katz badge #0105 had arrest warrant #PE1021414 under my name and address. i was already reading these posts about this number and knew it was a scam. he asked me if i wanted my information forwarded to the local police and be arrested and i said yes, forward my information to the local police and i will deal with them. he kept asking me if i wanted my information forwarded to the local police to which i repeated over and over again, yes, forward my information to the local police. he said what will happen to my husband and children if i go to jail. i responded that if they actually knew anything about me, they would know they'll be just fine--i'm single and have no children, so my non-existent family will be just fine--he tried that tactic again, to which i again responded that they'll be fine. he said even if you spend 7 years in jail? i told him, yup, they'll be good. he said ok, i will be showing up at your door and arresting you and you will see my face. told him, ok!  sorry, not getting a dime from me...but i enjoyed toying with them for a change! it was pretty comical to hear this guy not know what to do when i told him to send my information to the local police and that i'd happily go to jail! not only did he have an accent, making it hard for me to give him any sort of credibility, but as many times as he said "like", sealed the deal...what a moron!

He was call the crimes investigation unit . Said if  I don't call him back a police local area would come and arrest me

I encourage everyone who gets called from these jerks to call them back CONTINUOUSLY (every 30 sec). Apparently, they are stupid enough to use a phone line for their restaurant business (There is an Egyptian restaurant in EGYPT that has this telephone number listed on their Facebook!) to make this call. The continuous phone calls apparently clogged their line up and THEY DON'T LIKE IT!
I got a call this AM from these jerks at number 202-241-2126. I really got pissed off and called them back every 30 sec. Initially, there is just a message stating that "this mailbox does not accept messages." Eventually, the phone line opened up. It took about 40+ calls until these jerks were so bothered that they finally picked up, and even called me back on my cell phone. At first, these jerks got into cussing and threatening match with me (at least, I think that was what it was since I really could not understand them very well). Eventually, after another 40+ calls from me leaving 40+ message "whoever the [***] who called me today and pretended to be CIA agents, pick up or I will keep calling all f...... day," some other jerk finally picked up and POLITELY begged me not to call because it disrupted his "restaurant business." He pretended to not know who called me but said he will find out and will tell him not to call me again, POLITELY.
The most important thing I got from this is that the barrage of continuous calls DOES disrupt whatever "business" these jerks are doing! It probably prevents them from using the line to con other people!
Once again, I do encourage that anyone who receives calls from these lowlife jerks at 202-241-**** to "return the favor" and barrage these as**oles relentlessly to interfere with their "business." Hopefully, these little actions will tie them up and take their time away from conning others.

The (202)280-7675 ans (202)241-2126 are scammers saying they are the IRS. If you dont pay the fines and taxes, they wuill have local police arrest you. Their primary targets are foreigners who are not famaliar with the true IRS. The real IRS make contact to you via snail mail ONLY. These callers are scammers. Unfortaunately, they were successful with 1 of my residents in NW Ohio.

I received a phone call  Saturday morning at 7:45, a female with thick accent said she was calling from crimes investigation unit on behalf of IRS, she could tell our names, street address correctly. I told her IRS doesn't work on Saturday and if she works for IRS, send me a formal letter via Post Office to my address. She told me she did and the letter was returned. I asked her phone # for a return call later since I was not ready for her questions. Then I googled the phone #, and checked IRS website, it is a scam. She called us back this afternoon and hung up after my husband yelled " I know you are a scammer,I've checked your number on internet, don't call me again" LOL

It would be more convincing if - "CIA Agent Parker" - that called informing me of my impending arrest and whatever scam he was trying to pull SPOKE ENGLISH!  He mumbled in broken english over and over on my message machine.  Won't stop!  

Got a call today saying I owed $1247 to the IRS. Could barely understand the two guys I talked to. They said the local police would be at my door in one hour, along with the Depertment of Homeland Security. Apparently I am suspected of criminal activity and money laundering.
