Received two voice mails on home telephone. Person calling was named Steve and said we would be arrested if we did not contact them at 202-558-6685. They said they were with the IRS and we were in big trouble. Just letting you know the phone number the call came from. I tried to call back but the recording said they were too busy to answer the phone.

I did not answer, but they left a vague voicemail about lowering my interest rates on a credit card. They did not say which card or what company they were. They said we can lower your interest rates, but the offer expires today.

Computerized voice. Never mentions IRS but says the Treasury Department is contacting before they turn my name over to a magistrate. Tells me to call back at the above number.

It was a robo call. I was not specifically targeted.

Got a call twice yesterday from 936-333-4382. Google says it's located in TX. Message says they are aware that a case against me has been filed by the IRS. I know it's a scam, but I called them just to hassle them. A male voice answered, and it had a foreign accent. He said he was in WDC. I can't believe anyone would believe a telephone call about an IRS issue. I never gave him a chance to find out what he wanted from me.

Man with Indian accent calls himself "Steve Martin" executing an inforcement action by the US Treasury. Refusing to call back is an effort to avoid prosecution for a federal criminal offense.

I received a letter in the mail saying welcome home. My husband and I just moved. It says that they have been unable to contact me and to contact them in the next 7 days and that they have a "parcel." They list their hours and to call today and contact Marilyn. The phone number listed was 913-768-0848 and the parcel number is 701 397. The envelope does not have a return address nor a business name. I googled the number and the first link that came up was a blog with many comment about it possibly being a scam and that it has been going on since 2010. There were a few comments from Kansas with the same story. Some asked if they were recognized from the ScamPulse.com and they said we won't bother you anymore.

Type of a scam Tech Support

Using my computer, checking email, late night 7-5-16, about to log off when a popup alert filled the screen, warning me of a breach. There were 2 error codes. A smaller popup appeared which warned me not to shut down my computer or my files could be damaged or lost, and/or my computer could be damaged. There was a number to call for help: 855-309-0298. I was too drowsy to call last night, so I turned down the volume on my speakers (loud buzzing/popping accompanied message) and went to bed. It wasn't until tonight (7-6-16) that I took the time to call, knowing I would likely need to allow at least 30 minutes for a tech call. After almost an hour of messing around with odd directives, he decided I needed a "Level 7" tech, but they would charge me $100. I told him I would just have to do without a computer and hung up. In retrospect, I do not remember how he answered the phone, if there was a company name or just "IT department."

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I was selling a desk on craigslist. A few hours after I activated it, I get a text from 917-725-7305. I provide my address so he can send a check. A few days later, I received the check for around 3,900 dollars (desk was only for 200 dollars). The envelope came from California, but the check was from Florida. After I texted the person I had received the check, he contacted me, but I did not connect the number with the text until I hung up on him. He was foreign, and very difficult to understand. The following day, he texted, wanting me go to go the closest Bank of America (July 2, 2016). I asked him about the moving company that he wanted to go through, but he never gave a straight answer, so I told him that the deal is off. I gave the check to my mother who works for a bank, but the check can be retrieved if it is needed.

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

Wanted me to go to a western union and wire $160 (IRS fee) in order to claim a $950,000 prize that I supposedly won randomly from the preferred shopper programs at stores like Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart, etc. He gave a name of Bobby. Spoke VERY broken english. Caller ID said Kingston, JA. Gave me a bunch of bogus numbers to make me think it was legitimate. And told me that the call was 100% legitimate, even being monitored by the FBI and IRS.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

I missed a call from the above phone number. When I listened to a voice message left by them it said that "this is a second attempt to contact me regarding impending legal action by a federal grand jury. If I do not call them back, the legal action will proceed and good luck". I called the number back three times and asked the person who answered "what company do you work for" and all three times they hung up on me. I called back a fourth time and a different person answered, all have foreign accents, and he said he worked for "the US justice department". I then asked him his name and he returned the question and said " no, what's your name?" I responded by saying, "if you really worked for the U.S. justice dept, you should be able to tell me your name", at which time he hung up on me. This is clearly a scam of some sort. I did not provide them any personal information but they were clearly trying to gain info. Please look into this phone number. Thank you

Had 2 different robo calls that left threating voice mails.

First one told me I had Federal Warrants issued and I was going to be picked up by the local sheriff if I did not respond in the next 2 hours.

The second one told me that the IRS was taking me to court and I need to call the IRS service center at a phone number. Another scam.

The IRS sends notices in the mail.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I have been receiving calls from an unknown number for the past couple of days. Finally, I picked up the phone and it was a man with an accent explaining that I had been chosen due to me not having a criminal record and being a good citizen for a government grant from the Federal Business Bureau. I was going to be able to get granted $9,000 once I called another number and received a verification code to go to Western Union and give $290, which I would get instantly back after 15 minutes. I repeatedly told the caller that I believed this was a scam and wanted no part of it. I asked for my number to be taken off of their phone list and it was not because they called me again. I questioned and questioned them to where they were getting aggravated and making it sound like it was stupid for not understanding. I asked why I was just hearing about this now and why there was no paper trail. I had not received anything in the mail that proved to have some sort of legitimacy. I did not give them any kind of information and am expecting them to call back tomorrow, to where I am going to give them a very strong piece of my mind.

Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief

Please note: I do not have any contact information for the company, as the agent I spoke to refused to provide it. All I have is the number I received a call from.

I received a call from 207-291-1091, which was an automated message asking if I was interested in a lower credit card rate, and to press "1" to connect to an operator. I typically do talk to an operator so I can be removed from the mailing list.

The person who answered (did not provide a name) and asked if I was interested in finishing steps to reduce my credit card interest rate. I asked for the company name, and they said the 'Visa/MasterCard company'. This sounded fake, so I said that I was already working on reduced interest rates with my existing company - *** *** - and asked if that's where they were calling from. The person said no, and I asked to be removed from the mailing list.

The person then immediately became beligerent. He said I was wasting his time and why did I press 1 if I wasn't interested. I said because I wanted to be removed from the mailing list, and the person said he would not take me off the list. I asked to speak to a supervisor, he said he was one. I asked to speak to HIS supervisor, and he said he would not transfer me because I had no manners. I asked him to confirm the name of the company, and instead of providing it, he spelled out "F____ -YOU". I said I would be reporting to the BBB, but since I don't feel I have a true company name, I figured I would start here.

When I call the number back, I get a message that says the call cannot go through.
