Got a call today and they claim to be "investigators", tell you that you are in deep trouble - AND they want to "settle things out side the court" ;-)

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

Fege Da da

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". !

I got the same call from this guys this morning Balaji. These guys talked about IRS and state investigation for fraud etc. They asked for $2600 to settle out of court. I told them to send me a written communication which made him angry and he told me that state police will call me within 30 minutes and put me in jail for 70 days.  He hang up. Look like these guys are cheaters.

These people harrass you!! they keep calling.. someone need to do something.

Same as Balaji & SKD & Prakash - All are cheater... There is another no also from Michigon... Same kind ... When I asked them more info than said " You are talking to Investigator . Cool Down... These kind of call already came to 5 times. They give your address & everything Correct.... Be Careful....

This isnt a prank call!! This is a group of people trying to extort money from unsuspecting people. They are representing themselves as the IRS. They called a disabled client of mine and scared him to death. No prank, EXTORTERS

I just got a same type of voice message from this number,not sure how to take an action on these type of calls.

Add one more to the list. Got a call this afternoon from "Michael Brown". He had a very thick Indian accent. He did give me the address of my house. He said that there was a "case pending against you" with the FTC (huh??), so I asked  him why he was calling? Notices and subpoenas are served in writing. He said that they had mailed out 5 letters, so I asked him to send me one more letter, this time it needed to be sent certified return receipt as proof. He said that they would not do so since they had already sent 5 and that he was doing me a favor by calling. By this time I was openly laughing at him. I have lived in the US way too long for a moron like that to take advantage of me. They have not idea of what due process is in the US. I deal with the legal issues for my company and have law enforcement officers as good friends of mine. I asked for his information - phone number - the one that we all got (which is registered as a telemarketer phone) and I said that I would get back to him if I felt like. He was not happy about the fact that I was now laughing even harder. So he got off the phone and said that the police will come in 30 minutes to arrest me. To which I laughed again and asked him to go right ahead and send them over. It has been 4 hours and no sign of the police.

I do not believe that any of these individuals are located in the US or at least not where the phone is believed to be registered to - in Irvine, CA. If they were in the US, then they might have some fear of the law and not operate in such a blatant/arrogant manner. They seem to operate out of a room  - you could hear a lot of background chatter. Anyway going back to the fact that they might not be in the US is further supported by the fact that they could be using a service like VOIP service that could place them anywhere in the world.

My only regret was not playing with him longer to find out what he wanted from me or what their modus operandi is. I was laughing too hard! Maybe I will call him back. Heh heh and have some fun at his expense for a change. I would like for all of us to call back and have some fun with these individuals. So go ahead make the call and let these individuals know that they should go out, do an honest days work and make a real living rather than trying to cheat other people out of their hard earned money.

Got a message from an "Inspector Officer David Marshall" from the State Investigation Department stating that there was a legal case against me and that I should call back the same 949 number listed. The guy had an Indian accent, and I agree, must be looking for some poor, unsuspecting person that would respond. I am a bit relieved to know that I am not alone, but still can't figure what can be done about this, since there has to be many others that these idiots are harassing/extorting.

I got a call about 5-6 weeks and was told that I haven't paid my taxes. I was 100% sure that I have paid all my taxes on time. I just started calling him names and all they just hanged up. Now today I got the same call and I just went off on them. This is not only a prank but someone is trying to make some easy money. first time I got call from 810-223-0563 guys name Scott Adams and today from 949-203-2317 with same name.

A lady called and left voice mail stating some kind of legal problem, then I called three times but no response and hangs up automaticaly. Seems like prank call.

I got this prank call too, 949..
I heard lot of guj jus talking background,
I knew right away ,
Same answer police will arrest you,
This is serious matter,
Just don't give any info.....if you have one,
Make afun if you have time.......
Free fun.....

Received call from this no telling me he is calling me from investigation department.  Yesterday I received Similar call from New York area code.  These guys are cheater and target immigrants from India.  When I confronted him he started threating me.  They know lot about you and your family do not share any information.  Try to make fun out of this if you can.

Got a call saying they are going to arrest me within 30 minutes if I do not pay the bill and exact same thing they told to all you callers this is extortion and a same on Indians, they are putting all of us Indians down, it seemed like a call center as lt of chattering was going on in the background

I got the exact same call and I think scripted, they seem to be like in a call center and yes it was an indian accent for sure, very sad to see this happening the generation has lost it.

What can be done to teach lesson to this people because I went through same situation. I am going to file complaint against them on do not call list

I would appreciate if someone can tell us as to who can we complain about this, so this can be stopped.
