hello
some one called bryan johnson called from this number claiming he is with the IRS telling
me about a lien from the IRS has been filed agaist me.
| G.J. 2014-05-19 17:12:00 Unknown |
I was called and was advised that I to be put in jail for tax evasion. He said they are calling from the IRS, represented him self as Brian Johnson- with Indian accent. He told me I owe $ 1471.
I called Police Department and they had no record of a warrant for me as he mentioned! I knew something was up when I asked him to provide the details of how I owed $1,471 - he said he can't and I would need to file suit with court in order to get any details! YEH right - - - - I immediately googled the phone number - thanks to all the previous victims sharing their experiences. I called and reported the phone number.

He called me and he said he is from I.R.S. I told him if any lean goes on my property I will sue him and I.R.S. so didn't even ask for money just hang up on me, I.R.S. will never call the send letters.

The same think happened to me:
-a call from IRS for tax evasion investigation on me..., they provided a couple of bank money transfer information matching me..., meaning they hacked somewhere where they can see online money transfers...
-the guy's name Brian Johnson with a hindu accent ! this is a catch.
-he also told me I can settle the matter out of court for exactly the same amount, $ 1471, that I have to pay by a Green dot Money pak card from a local grocery store. to identify the store, he asked me my zip code!, this was a catch too.
-he also wanted me to keep my phone open on speaker while I load the card in grocery store and give him to pin number for the card.
-I felt this was a scam, but I still did not wanted to hang up, so I did not get the green dot card first with a debit card and rather I went to bank to get a cash. Before getting cash, I left the cell phone outside, and I asked bank teller search the internet for this number and she found this blog, and this blog saved me from a big hassle. thank you guys. And I had a witness as well now, the bank teller.
-when one does not know tax laws well like me, the guy was quite convincing that I did something wrong, but I did not, money transfer is not something to be reported in tax filing...
-I called Maryland State Police, but officer said there are thousands of them out there, they hack some info online and come back to you like they are from IRS and try to get money by threatening. Officer said: if you did not give money, they did nothing wrong against to law. This puzzles me. As I see these guys are still in business. When you call this number the greeting is even IRS, this should be at least against to law...
-today I am calling my local Police Department for the record.
-I am also planning to subscribe a credit report agency to report me any suspicious activity.
-I am not sure reporting this to IRS identity protection service will do any good.

I was called toady by a middle eastern sounding man claiming to be from the IRS. This man was aggressive and knew my home number. He claimed that he had a warrant for my arrest and would be right over to arrest me. I knew this was bull s*** and I proceeded to mock him. Although I was scared at first I knew that they would never call before arresting you they would just do it. They were after information but remember don't let anything slip out of your mouth. Good luck
| Nk 2014-05-16 21:09:57 Unknown |
This is the second time he calls leaving a message saying that his name is Brian Johnson (with a Hispanic accent) from the Internal revenue service and that this is his second message, that they have a tax lien on the house and if my husband didnt get back to them by this afternoon by 2:00 pm to expect a group of investigative officers and police officers to pick him up at his place of employment in the morning.
| Nicci 2014-05-16 20:10:52 Unknown |
I received a message on my answering machine from this number. He claimed his name was Brian Johnson with the Federal Reserve and that there was a Federal Tax Lien on my name and social security number. He also said the police would be coming to my home and place of work. I called back and it was an answering machine that you could totally tell was not legit!
| Linda 2014-05-16 17:41:17 Event Reminder |
This number called and left a threatening message. I called back right away to see what was going on and it was a bee uncomfortable conversation, he told me to "go back to Turkey, bi***." I'm pretty sure that a FDA OR IRS worker is not trained to speak like that. I was disgusted.
| BL 2014-05-16 03:27:44 Unknown |
I got a call from Brian Johnson today and yesterday claiming that he was from IRS that I have some tax invasion. He wants to verify my address and said we were on the recorded line. So this kind of scam is going around all the time, please don't give out any of your information or answer their questions. IRS won't call, they will send out letter. I think more people should share their true experience so people can be aware of.
| MC 2014-05-15 18:54:41 Unknown |
I was called and threatened to be put in jail for tax evasion that I was not aware of. They said they are calling from the IRS, the guy's name was Brian Johnson- nice American sounding name with a hindu accent( be aware). He told me I can settle the matter out of court for $ 1471 that I have to pay by a Green dot Money pak card. he wanted me to keep my phone open on speaker while I am getting the money and load the card and give him to pin number for the card.
I called my local Police Department and they made a note and the officer told me that this is a scam, if the IRS has any questions, they contact you via the US mail, they don't send you the Police at your doorstep.
| k.h 2014-05-14 01:22:43 Unknown |
Said he was from the IRS. Threatening to have officers show up at place of employment and house to deliver papers unless they were called back
| jack reward 2012-06-23 06:42:33 Unknown |
I also received a call today from a "special agent" john cortez claiming someone from our household purchased a prescription medication over the internet. He had me going for a while even giving a fake badge number and describing in intimate details his investigation of a company selling prescription medication on the internet. I finally realized it was a scam after he insisted I could serve community service or send a fine of via western union made out to the US customs office and after calling in the reference number I would be "dismissed" as a witness from the case.
I contacted the FDA and their response was "they've been busy today, your not the first caller" and please don't let it ruin your day. This is an old scam and the FDA has a notice listing in their website It is such a shame that people like this exist praying on the fears of good individuals.
| connie 2012-06-05 21:52:42 Unknown |
I just got a call from someone who said they were with the fda he said his name is Lt. John Cortez he had me going for awhile I have been a wreck all day at work. He won't stop calling my work phone or cell.

THIS SAME SCUM BAG ALSO CALLS FROM THE NUMBER 202-239-0331 NOW AND THREATENS PEOPLE WITH ARREST AS A DEA AGENT.
| Chris 2012-05-29 19:13:01 Unknown |
PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- new twist is they are also impersonating DEA officials with threats to arrest you unless you immediately send money via wire transfer / western union to some offshore country !!!!! obvious scam !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc........

Please do not fall for this scam. Contact the DEA and give them the number. They even told me my Blood Pressure medicine was illegal and that Drugs.com was under investigation. They talk fast and try to scare the hell out of you to get your money. They transfer you around and when all is said and done they let you off with a warning and asked me to send $4000 from a specific address. I looked it up on Google Maps and it was an ACE Check Cashing Center. Do you really think the FDA/DEA would fine you and have you send 4000. When i said i didnt have 4000 they immediately cut the fine in half. Scumbags!! Don't fall for it..
| TM 2012-05-25 19:11:47 Unknown |
Got the same type call from this number today. Was called by a man identifying himself as Special Agent Kelvin Johnson with the Food and Drug Administration. Called four times and finally left a message. Claimed there was an ongoing investigation with a pharmaceutical company that I was involved with. I put the number into Google and it showed to be a scam. I reported it to the FBI anyway.

DEA scammers
numbers used so far:
(720) 881-1064
(714) 288-3835
(707) 703-1408
Repeated calls claiming to be the DEA, threatening a search and arrest warrant for an online overseas pharmacy prescription? Trying to sell a high priced legal service? Not sure They were stern, but When I asked pointed questions like badge and case numbers, they hung up.

This is a SCAM! Do not give them any money or information. They will try to extort money from you. THIS IS NOT THE REAL DEA CALLING! I see so many prople get ripped off by these people-sometime as much as thousands of dollars. If you get a call from them - call 877-792-2873 to report them. It is extortion and against the law.
| John 2012-05-19 14:05:04 Unknown |
Just got the message that the mailbox cannot receive any more messages!
Maybe everyone calling is going to make them stop or at the least it slows them down.
| Mary 2012-05-19 13:34:32 Unknown |
Must be one of the scammers again!
Going to put you out of business in Boyton Beach Florida? The end if near.
| John 2012-05-19 13:13:22 Unknown |
Since when would someone call you before they are coming to arrest you? LIAR LIAR pants on Fire!
| Lori 2012-05-19 07:34:49 Unknown |
Keep calling them back!
I have a friend who works at Mini Mart 11 PM to 7 AM shift! She is even calling them back.
Use *67 so they can't call you back!
202-239-0567 Get these scum bags from Florida with the DC phone number to stop calling people and getting them to send them money!
Drug Enforcement Administration! How dare they!
| Lori 2012-05-19 07:08:23 Unknown |
I will keep calling you back using *67 so you don't know who is calling. If everyone calls them back at 2020239-0567. They will at the least turn off this phone number. People must be sending them money or they would not keep calling.
| lone stranger 2012-05-19 06:48:15 Unknown |
Mary,
*67 is far from foolproof. Any line equipped with ANi will still get the number. Your imaginary "friend" needs to stick to writing parking tickets and eating Krispy-Kremes. Calling them is not a good idea, and will have little or no impact on the scammers.
| Lori 2012-05-19 06:42:27 Unknown |
Call them back!
Use *67 so they can't see what number you are calling from! *67-202-239-0567
Help stop the madness! Call 24/7. Leave a message. So they have to play it back. Wasting even more of their time.
I have about six other people calling this number and they are very angry.
I just call and walk away from the phone. My friends have told me that one person told them you have to stop calling we are trying to run a business! LOL It isd more like we can't harrass enough people if you all keep calling us!
| Mary 2012-05-19 06:33:12 Unknown |
Report them to FDA hotline.
Then call them back. Use *67 so they can't see who is calling.
My friend who is a police officer said if evryone keeps calling them back they will have no time to scam others. It must be working or they would not continue to call people.
So call whenever you think about it. 202-239-0567. If enough people keep calling and leaving them messages they will have no time to pull off the scam on others.
They can't even get you on harrassment charges no matter how many times you call them. There is a law called the clean hands law. If you have dirty hands then you can't get prosecute others for a crime.
I will keep POSTING and CALLING until they turn off this number and go out of business.
