I have been receiving multiple calls daily all in a foreign language accent. Identify themselfs as the US Treasury Dept. saying I have been selected to receive $9,750 by the govenment to use for education. Told that 2000 people in my state have been selected. Ask how I want to receive the funds, Western Union or Check in the Mail. Gave me 2 phone numbers to call (only valid for 30 minutes) to confirm a confirmation code.

I receive 3-5 calls per day with the same foreign language accent. When I try to call back the number that they call from it just rings. 1 time yesterday I called back the number immediately and a young male with "NO" accent answered. When I requested that my telephone no be removed, the young man replied. "I don't know what your talking about. I am a 16 year old kid.

Received this message on my land line phone 9-25-17, 10:03 MDT. This call is regarding an enforced action which has been executed by the US Treasury Dept regarding tax fraud against your name. Ignoring this could be an intentional attempt to avoid an initial apppearance before the magistrate court and before it goes to federal court and before you will be arrested. Please call 717-516-9242. Hope to hear from you soon before the judge presses charges against you. The caller ID was unknown name, unknown number

Phone call message stating Treasury Department was beginning an investigation into tax fraud and we needed to contact them before enforcement action.

- Edwardsburg, MI, USA

I received a call from someone with a foreign accent. He told me the Fed gov (Treasury Dept) had chosen me to receive a $7,900. cash gift because I was in good standing with the Feds. Money could come via western union or my debit or credit card. I told him that the Fed gov did not call people on the phone, they sent letters. He said oh no, this was a new policy just activated by the Feds. I told him that they do not call and that the fact he wanted my credit card number told me he was a scammer. He said he was not. I asked him why he had a foreign accent and he got agitated and said you can not understand me? You are stupid. I told him he gave himself away. Federal employees did not call people over the phone names, they were not allowed to and he was a scammer. I hung up on him. I did a reverse search of his number and it came up as follows: 202-568-9754 Arukatti Pataba.

- Aiken, SC, USA

Caller said they represented the us treasury dept. enforcing action against me for tax fraud and it is a federal criminal offense and if I did not respond I would be arrested

- Bloomington, IL, USA

Call is computer voice starting:

"Call is regarding enforcement action which has been executed by the US treasury department regarding tax fraud against your name..."

Continues on to threaten legal action if you ignore the computer-generated voice and demands you call back.

- Iowa City, IA, USA

I keep receiving calls saying there is an enforcement action regarding an appearance before a magistrate for a federal criminal offense. Some say it regards tax fraud. Some say it regards a federal claim. Some leave a name. Some leave a badge number. Phone numbers have included 646-367-0646 and 5. They all tell you to call to help prevent arrest or fines.

US TREASURY COLLECTING DEBIT OR BE ARRESTED AND GO BEFORE A JUDGE.

RECEVIED CALLS 8/24/2016 AT 2:51 PM (509) 570.1967 AND 9/14/2016 AT 6:08 PM

(347) 390.0686.

I was called and told that I qualified for a $9,000 gov't grant because we were not criminals last years and was that correct? I said I guess ( I try to be vague if I even don't hang up). I was then told I would not have to repay the money as it was a grant and that the grant approval number is GG1109. The lady then repeated the grant approval number and gave me a telephone number of 315-210-8762 and repeated it. She then asked me to repeat both the approval number and telephone number back to her. She said that I could go to the US Treasury Dept. Website and type in the approval code. She said that after I hang up I MUST call the number she gave me immediately and give them the approval code but that if I could not get through, to wait about five minutes and try again. Before she hung up, she said to remember to call the number she gave me as soon as I hung up.

Upon hanging up, I researched the ScamPulse.com information to file a report.

The number from which the lady called from was different, it was the 516-692-0000 number.

Thank you for your concern in this matter.

John Norman badge number 7565 claiming to be from the US Treasury Dept.

claimed he was from legal affairs and that an enforcement action had been executed because of tax fraud.

requested a call back at 213-631-3584.

call seemed to be partially robotic and or computer generated.

They called and left message on my home phone at ***. They stated that there was an arrest warrant out for me and that I owed back taxes to the Treasury Dept. My wife contacted me at work and I called the number of 213-289-3844. The phone connection was very bad making the person hard to hear.A woman with a strong Indian accent answered as a Treasury worker and asked for my phone number, which I gave. She then said I owed back taxes for 2012-2013 to the Treasury Department, which I don't. She told that an officer would be at my house to arrest me. I told her to send them on over, I could use more friends. At this point the call ended.

I received a disturbing text from a man claiming to be with the US Treasury Department named Steven Cole.

The text message stated that it is in regards of my tax refund which I have not received on my past tax filling prior. It stated that we have to proceed further and send this refund amount to me. Apart from this we cannot disclose an information over the text. We need to have a discussion with you. ASAP So kindly call your Sr. officer on (202) 241-7516.

When I called the man, he asked to verify my date of birth. After I did that, he had confirmed my address, place of work, and my social security number. He already had all of my information and was very convincing that what they were doing an audit on the IRS in his department with the US Treasury. He was adamant that this was all highly confidential. He stated that the IRS has been holding back thousands of dollars from law abiding citizens for the past 6 years and that they have compiled a refund for me in the amount of $6,868. I was compliant with the man because I haven't received a proper tax refund in the last 5 years.

Steven Cole coerced me into sending him $250 to cover a transaction fee for three money transfers thru Western Union. He provided me with two MTCN numbers for Western Union that were suppose to have $2750 on each. He stated that once I send the transaction fee to him, he will activate the two MTCN numbers and provide me with the third MTCN number of $1350. He told me that I can track the money transfers online, which I did, and all three of the transfers stated that they were available for pick up.

Steven Cole advised me to send the $250 Western Union. I took the last of my money and borrowed $130 to equal $250, however, there was a $24 transaction fee to send the money, which I did not have. Steven then advised me to purchase an iTunes Gift Card, put the $250 on the card, and then tell him the PIN along with a picture of the card, which was to cover the transaction fee. After I purchased the card and gave him the information, he stated that he will get this processed and give me a call back in 15 minutes.

About an hour later, I get in contact with him, and he states that Apple has been having some system failure issues as well as it was 5:30 pm and that Apple closes at 5 pm. He assured me not to worry, and that the money will be available for me to pick up at 9 am the next morning.

I return to the Western Union the next day to retrieve the money transfers. The cashier told me that the numbers he provided me were not in the system. After several attempts, I finally got back in contact with Steven, whom answered the phone and stated that his name was Daniel. I asked the man, "Wasn't your name Steven just yesterday?" He told me that him and Daniel have a joint phone line. I explained to the man that Western Union said the numbers were not working. He verified the numbers with me and said that they were correct. He than placed me on a brief hold. When he returned, he stated that he just spoke to an Edward with the IRS, whom said that i have a debt with the IRS in the amount of $1438 that must be paid for before they release my refund. He stated that for the inconvenience, they will put $438 towards it, and that I would only need to pay $1000 of the debt. By this time, I have informed many people of how I felt scammed. I told Steven Cole that I am no longer going to put up with the shenanigans and scams. I told him that I would be reporting him to the authorities and to not bother me again. I contacted Apple via email, who notified me that the gift card had been activated and used towards another account.

PERSON NAMED DAVID GRAY CALLING FROM THE US TREASURY AND ASKING ME TO CALL HIM BACK TO AVOID APPEARANCE BEFORE A JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE. HIS NUMBER WAS 651-433-7041. HE CALLED ON 3/17/16 AT 9:19AM CST

I received a pre-recorded voice mail on my home phone, February 10, 2016 from a Kevin Mason with the US Treasury Dept requiring I return a call to him at 708-377-9172 immediately to avoid prosecution or arrest.

- Fayetteville, PA, USA

Receive a call today from an Officer Bennett. Phone Number: 315-879-6422. She had a foreign accent and could barely understand her.

She stated she was from the US Treasury Dept and was calling about criminal allegations regarding my 2011 income tax return. She stated I owed $6, 355. 00 and needed to be paid, preferably by cash. She was reluctant to give out much information of her location, business, etc., so I just ended the call.

I am very upset over these foreigners calling and trying to take advantage of people. I know this is a scam, but many older people do not and probably will pay. In the background of the call, it sounded that many of them were on the phone calling people.

PLEASE CALL AND INVESTIGATE THESE PEOPLE!
