I was called from (586)-110-4400 multiple times with the same "urgent message" about how this is "my final warning to pay my amount due to have my credit repaired."

I knew immediately it was a scam, but decided to try to get a live person to possibly find out a name or location.

I was called from the same number multiple times and at one point was asked to send 300 US dollars via wire transfer. Because I was called from the same number so many times, I believe it was not spoofed.

I have tried to get ahold of someone in charge, find out a company name or location, any details that could help me figure out who this was while on the phone baiting them. Each time I asked for any information of this sort, I was immediately hung up on.

I am registed on the Do Not Call list on the number they dialed and have been for many months. I am reporting this in hopes that these people can be stopped and that the elderly or those with little understanding of how scams work do not get caught up in this scheme.

Received a Facebook message supposedly from a close friend describing the availability of government grants for persons with handicaps. Friend supposedly asserted that she had received a grant and that I would possibly be eligible for said grant. I was instructed to text a message to phone number 402-870-4292 to determine my eligibility. I sent a text with only my name and address and almost immediately received a return text stating that I was eligible and to fill out an application using text messaging right then. At that time I realized that something seemed suspicious, so I called the friend and was informed that the friend had not sent me such a message. At that time I realized that this had to be some kind of scam. I immediately stopped communication with that phone number, but I am still getting messages asking if I am still with them.

Received a call from Chris Kelly, caller ID shows 917-410-8071. This number has been blocked on my phone for a while because it appears as spam or unsafe according to my carrier. For the past two days Chris has been leaving voicemail that he received information in his office with my name and social security number and that I need to be home on Monday 09/26/2016 to receive and sign the documents. Chris never identifies the company he is working for nor does he mention who is client is that is trying to serve me. I have a total of 22 calls from this person since September 9th. The calls are escalating in frequency and the voicemail are disturbing. If this is a legitimate situation then I am willing to address but there are to many red flags to ignore. I need the calls and harassing voicemail to stop. I did not personally speak to the individual just received the voicemails.

I've got 3 calls, two from the first number today, and one calls from the second number. They're saying something about being from the IRS. I call the first number back twice, but it says the number is no longer in service. I just called the second number back, and I got someone to answer. I couldn't really understand what he was saying, but when I asked who he was calling for, he didn't respond, and then hung up a few seconds later. This is a screenshot of the messages they leave.

On 9/22/16 at 10:41am, I received a call from 985-382-6767. The automated message stated that they have made several attempts to contact me about my credit card. Then, they went on to state that they are trying to lower my interest rate. This sounds like a scam that I heard on the news that is attempting to verify the type of card that I have. I get furious when I receive these calls with all of the scams today. Thank you for any assistance that you can give me in stopping these people.

a person called my home phone and claimed to be an agent with the internal revenue service. he gave his name as Allen Green and i.d.#29635. He stated that my taxes had been audited from 2005 through 2015 and that my 2008 and 2009 taxes due amounted to $3,989.36. He stated that I could be arrested and have my assets and bank accounts ceased by the government. I tried to ask a question and he threatened to submit a form and have the police to immediately come to my house and have me arrested. I asked if he wanted me to pay him by check or credit card. He denied asking me for any money and hung up. He spoke with a foreign, Indian, accent.

The number he called from is (347) 906-8611. I called this number back and they asked I someone had just spoken to me and then hung up.

My wife received the same call a month ago.

I answered my phone it switched from a automated identification system with only a tone then to a live man with a Indian or Arabic accent he gave me some of my own info that I declined to verify I was told he wanted to place me on a list with his supervisor as I was among the few to qualify to be on this list to get 1500 in a grant. I declined to be placed on the list. I told him if what he said was true then I would be able to call the government grants and loans department and follow up that way he told me I could not do that, I disconnected the call, then called the number back it said the subscribe is number no longer in service. I researched the number on line it appears to have a lot of scam warnings on line as well. Others reported worse. Others reorder they wanted bank infinite didn't let them get that far before calling them on the scam.

Woman's voice on my cell phone voicemail - "Intending your serious attention. Your case # is CF797621. Ignoring this message will be additional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or the grand jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 202-558-2351 , I repeat it's 202-558-2351. Do not rearguard this message and do return the call. Now if you don't return the call and I don't hear from your attorney either the the only thing that I can do is wish you good luck as the situation will unfold on you. Goodbye. "

Received a call from the company, could not tell me what the matter was. Only would say that the paperwork has been signed and sent to the District Court. Hung up on me multiple times when asked what the call was in reference to along with the use of profanity towards me. Never got to the point of asking for money because once I said that I was going to report them to the authorities they would hang up.

I call this number from the internet I found, I want to find out if and I know my Ex-husband is hacking into my phone and computer. I gave his phone number 239-898-6985. I sure he called his number. The day I call to ask him if he could do this he said yes. I would have to pay $650.00 up front and $650.00 at the end. I would have to pay a check by Western Union or another company I never heard of. I said no, because these are scams. I said I pay him by a debit card or a personnel check. Then I said I won't pay him until after the divorce. This way my ex would have to go jail, for hacking. I'm not good with computers, I'm afraid he's open accounts or emails in my name, Going back This guy name is Frank. he's called twice with a number beginning with 555-???? that's it. Last few days left messages Hi Elke with my phone number. I didn't open the message.

I keep getting phone calls from this number acting like they are my cable company. They say there are issues with my service, via a recording, and they need me to call to schedule an appointment. They never state the company name.

9-7-2016 a phone call to my cell phone from 612-512-4234 (displayed on my Caller ID as from Minnesota). There was a recording message when I answered telling me that it was a call from the IRS and that there was going to be a Law Suit against me and to call that same # about it right away.

I did not call, but I do think someone should follow through and find out what is going on with this type of thing!!!

At 11:51am (MDT) I was called by a gentleman who asked to speak to Michael, He stated I was eligible to receive a government grant of $9600.00. I was one of 1500 people selected each year who paid their bills and taxes on time. He had my name, mailing address and email address already. He asked how I would like to receive the check and I told him by mail. He said I would be receiving the check in the mail in a few days. I did not give any personal information, as mentioned he already had my name and address. I found the following on the internet about a similar scam in Houston.

HOUSTON (KTRK) --

Phones are ringing all over Houston with the promise of cash in the form of government grants.

There's just one problem. Grants are not easy to get, but that's not what callers are telling Houston residents. The catch to getting government money? You have to pay first.

Betty Williams says a recent call to her cell came with the promise of big bucks.

"The reason they said my number was picked was because he government is giving free grants to people who pay their bills on time and pay all of their taxes," said Williams.

Williams says the caller said she would get $7500 in government grants to help pay bills. But to get the money, she needed to wire $300 first.

Williams says that's a step she knew not to take.

"There are a lot of senior citizens who do not know a lot, especially at my age, they will say, 'oh 7500 dollars,'" said Williams.

Fortunately Williams knows better, did some research.

"I found out this is really truly a scam. I am not crazy, I was not born yesterday," said Williams. "I might be a senior citizen, but I got all my mental faculties with me."

Monica Russo with the Houston ScamPulse.com says Williams did the right thing by not falling for the grant scam. She says getting a real grant is not so easy.

"It's a whole process. You have to apply for it. A lot of times you have to draft paper work for it. So it's not something that is as easy as these guys make it out to be," said Russo.

The BBB says to be on the lookout because if one person in our area got this call, it will likely happen to many, many more.
