The caller harasses my out of town family members by calling/leaving messages for me. The caller poses as an officer of the local county court and leaves an 800 number to call back. They threaten that if I do not call within 24 hours criminal action will be taken against me. They do not call me directly but prey upon my elderly parents who do not understand this is a scam. Upon calling my father they stated they got his number from court documents but refused to identify what court or documents. They specifically stated they were from the county district attorneys office and I needed to pick up a subpoena. No such 800 number is affiliated with the county court locally, and rings into a "law office", the name of which I do not know ( my brother called them back and won't from my number ). I dealt with this same scam several years ago and made the mistake of calling back before realizing they only wanted a payment right then, and there was no subpoena service.

Email stating sender , "John Wilbert a custodian to an expatriot late (family member's name) a native of your country who died following an automobile collision involving two cars in Kampala, Uganda."

Email states he had made countless attempts to locate any family members or relatives he was delighted to locate myself. "In accordance to Uganda Financial policy, my client account valued at $850k USD still remains taken for a period of two years and will be reverted to the government on a few weeks because he died intestate(sic), except if a family member comes forward to claim his Estate as the law demands."

Email goes on to ask for my telephone # and blah, blah, blah he will be entitled to 10% of the deposit (not mentioned anywhere else in email) as his professional fee. Didn't ask for money or deposit yet; only my phone #. Have a copy of email printed out.

Voice message left by Steven Martin stating he was enforcing an action executed by the US treasury which required our severe attention. If this 2nd attempt was ignored a warrant to appear before a magistrate or judge would be issues for a serious federal criminal offense.

While on internet researching subject I had a window pop-up indicating my computer just had a virus/Trojan infection. Claimed to be from Microsoft with a phone number to call and I fell for it. I called and was told he was a Microsoft employee and gave him access to computer. I was told it would take 30 minutes to fix and they would call back. They sent me a computer cleaner app. I got nervous and disconnected my computer. I think they were gonna try to have me purchase a monthly fee, but I unplugged computer and hung up phone.

Their phone number is 1-866-579-3725. I have since had my computer cleaned.

I received the following email on 25Jan2015. From a James Bummed.

Good Day,

Please do accept my apologies I do not wish to invade into your privacy,I had written an earlier mail to you but without response,In my first mail I mentioned to you about my late client Mr.J.Sevigny a nationality of your country who died with his family On the 14th of August 2014. I have received several letters from his Bank where he made a deposit of $3.5MIllion before his death with his family, the bank has asked me to provide his next of kin or any of his relatives who can make claim to his funds or it will be confiscated by the bank,as i could not locate any of his relative hence i contacted you for this claim since you have the same surname with him. Upon your response I will give you the details and procedures.

Thanks,

James Bumah Esq.

They represent themselves on CL as the US postal service. When you call they start asking questions under the guise of needing the info, you comply with them thinking more info is forthcoming - they take advantage of polite job seekers. They eventually say there is a fee for a postal exam of 97.00 and you provide your card info to charge it. You provide your digits for your card and then they want to charge it right away. Thats when it hit me, but it was too late - they had my card info. The next day over $4000.00 of charges were made on my debit card. My bank's fraud dept called me with all these unusual charges. There were 37 charges made, most of which were caught but 3 slipped thru and were posted. My card had to be shut down and now I'm out of money. These thieves need to be stopped and then arrested. I'm not normally naive enough to fall for this but they have a smooth scam going and are exploiting the desperation of unemployed and underemployed people. They advertise on CL under General Labor and Business. They are likely selling card info to hackers.

My 82 year old Aunt received a call Wednesday at 7:00 a.m. from a man that identified himself as an IRS Agent.

He told her that an arrest warrant had been issued for her for non-payment of 2008 IRS fees. He said her house would be seized along with her car. The man told her to go to the bank and withdraw $5,000.00 and wire the money to an address he would provide after she had the money.

My Aunt got out her Income Tax and read everything; but, she was so frightened that she actually went to the Bank and withdrew $5,000.00. Thank God that she did not call the man back or send the money. She called every IRS office in North Louisiana and they all told her to make an appointment to come in. The IRS personnel also told her to NOT comply with the stranger on the phone. I could hug and kiss every IRS employee that had contact with my Aunt.

My Aunt had colon cancer surgery and chemotherapy in 2008 and actually had filed for an extension on her Income Tax because of her illness. When she did file her taxes, she received a letter than she had been granted a hardship waiver and owed no fees. At first, I thought this was ironic that he chose 2008 - or was it ??

She returned to the Bank on Thursday to deposit the $5,000.00. An employee commented that she "just saw you yesterday" and my Aunt told her about the fake IRS caller. The Bank employee also cautioned her about telephone scammers.

I saw a report on t.v. the other night about the fake IRS agents and I will make a point of telling my Aunt if I see any other reports.

Person keeps calling from phone number (850) 226-5366 stating wife applied for loan she did not apply for, when I told the man this and to take her and I off their list the man was very aggressive in tone and hung up before I could finish telling him this. I looked up the number online and it came up with people reporting it as a scam.

Called my cellphone number claiming this is the final notice I will get before the IRS is going to take action against me. I had calls just a year ago, called the IRS and my accountant and was informed they would never call, it would be in writing, plus I knew I did not owe anything, I pay what I am suppose to.

Yet another Indian scam. This was shown to me in a pop up ad on Mediafire (A popular site to download files from) when I misclicked an ad. A voice started playing in a loop with an unclosable dialogue box stating "PLEASE CALL THE TOLL FREE NUMBER TO HAVE VIRUS REMOVE!" The Number, by the way, is 1-877-895-9188.

I have not called, but I am certain of this being a scam.

Called claiming I won sweepstakes, obviously a Jamaican accent.

As he talked, we googled the phone # and information, learning this was a scam.....I read to the person what I found about the scam and told him to lose my #. He responded with extremely vulgar language....and I hung up...he called back and left an even MORE vulgar message.

The name they gave us was David Richmond.

Received a call from a gentleman by the name of Sam with regards to a notification they received that my computer had a virus with mal-ware and spy-ware. He stated that it needed to be taken care of right away and wanted to know if they could take care of it now. I had read in the AARP magazine about calls that people had been receiving about an individual calling about their computer having a virus. When I questioned him about who notified them about the virus and what kind of virus he started rattling things off in an accent so that I could hardly understand him. I told him that I was going to report him to our local law enforcement and he stated he was sorry that I felt that way and hung up. The number on my caller ID was 5-634-8956.
