614-432-8756

This person left a message stating that they had something to do with the US Treasury and that if we did not return the call, it would be a federal offense.umber now blocked.

Receive similar call on my answering machine - clearly not someone from US Treasury (said his name was Keith Martin but had an Indian accent). No doubt looking for personal information from the unsuspecting.

how do you block a number

This sob has been calling almost hourly yesterday and starting again today already. Leaves name Steve Martin re U.S. treasury call 614 432-8756. I ignore of course but now the calls are really annoying. What to do? Thanks

Leaves a threatening message on voice-mail about outstanding IRS problem.  As usual, the person has a foreign accent and the call is a scam.  Suggest that you just block the phone number if yu can.

This person said he was from the US Treasury and I was in serious trouble  Know it was a scam.  How do you block these calls, and who should I report this call to?.

614-432-8756
Said I would be arrested in I ignored the call and they were calling from the United States Treasury, there person had a foreign accent, when I called the number to tell them to never call me again, they hung up.

Do not answer, that is why they keep calling.  I called back from an unknown number they hung up on me.

11/13/15 11:15 am Received recorded call from 615 432-8756, Keith Martin,  threatening government legal action if I did not return the call.  I will not return the call, and will report it to a contact at Sen Marco Rubio's office.

We got a call and the same message.. From the treasurer Dept. My husband called from an unknown number and twice they hung up on him.

Same as other harassed folks have stated. FYI, the US Treasury -IRS etc DO Not contact via phone only US postal.

Same as the other reports said they were Keith Martin from the government and if I did not call back I would be arrest. I have had several in the last few days. How do I block it?

I also just received a threatening call from Keith Martin from this number

My mom in Florida (87) got a call from Keith Martin threatening her immediate arrest if she didn't mail 8k to an address. I'm a detective and I called, spoke to Andy Gibson who wanted to sound legit but could not. When I identified myself I was cursed out for 10 seconds and hung up on. The phone is not in order now...

I got a call from 614-432-8756 a few minutes ago, and let the answer machine take it. The caller identified himself as Keith Martin from the Dept of Treasury, saying that I would be in trouble with the Magistrate if I didn't respond immediately. I called the number and a woman answered. I said, "This is the Dept of Treasury?" She said "Yes it is." I said, "A 614 area code?" "Yeah, I'm buying that.? She hung up, and I couldn't get anyone to answer when I tried to call back. I just got an answer machine. Guess I will leave a message for them, letting them know that I am onto them. God these scammers are stupid.

Yup
Just got the same call
Appreciate the previous posts
So now can ignore

Bogus phone message about treasury dept and that I am in trouble BS!

This person left a message stating that they had something to do with the US Treasury and that if we did not return the call, it would be a federal offense or we would be "brought up on charges by a federal magistrate or a grand jury".

They can't do anything to you. Just hang up and block the calls (if you have that capability). These are criminal extortionists operating in overseas boiler rooms using VOIP to alter their identities and locations and out of the reach of US law enforcement.

If someone calls saying he's an IRS agent and demands that you send money immediately, hang up.

By altering their caller ID number to make it look like they're calling from an IRS office, these scammers often threaten vulnerable people like the elderly and new immigrants with things like arrest, deportation or the loss of their driver's license if they don't pay immediately for money purportedly owed.

Often leaving messages that say it's "urgent" you call them back, the scammers use common names and sometimes say they are from the IRS Criminal Division. They may even claim to know the last four digits of your Social Security number and send follow-up emails that appear to be from the IRS, TIGTA said.

They often demand that payments be made by prepaid debit card.

Once they make their threats, the scammers have been known to call back and again disguise their caller ID so it appears they are calling from the police department or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Or sometimes when they call, they may say you have a refund due and ask you to provide personal information so you can claim it.

The real IRS will usually contact you by regular mail first, if it needs to contact you at all. And the agency never demands immediate payment by phone or asks for credit card or debit numbers if they do call. It also never asks for personal or financial information by email, text or social media.

If you get what you suspect is a scam call, report it to TIGTA through its Web site or call 800-366-4484.

Call blocker might be of some help.  Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd.  Or where there is no caller ID.  There’s  no way to stop the calls from being initiated. Calls originate in India and Pakistan.
