Ditto.  Someone with an Italian name (made up I am sure) and a middle eastern accent called on Dec 17 says there was a federal investigation against me and that he is giving me a chance to call back and discuss.  If I do not call back, he says, he will have to proceed with the full investigation.    

I did guess right. It is a prank call. He sounded middle eastern to me. Misfits.

Looks like they strike again.
A man name, Officer Levi, (foreign voice) called my home number with an extremely threatening message, ... "You are under investigation and your cooperation is needed, or else..."
I called the number back from my cell phone and after playing phone-tag about 4 times he did not state "who he was looking for." Additionally, when I became assertive myself, he states, "Now are you going to do business or what?" -- Why would a federal investigator say "Let's do business?"
He just left another voicemail on my cell, so I decided to google the number.
I'm glad you guys have shared your expierences because for a minute 'he had me going.'

How do we put a stop to this?

Allen Walton called threatening me to call back and negotiate the settlement for taxes.Voice was ascented,more reassuring
to settle ASAP.
Previous such call was from 805 area code.more.
It is sad and sickening,I hope these guys get apprehended.

I just received a call from 202-800-9957, saying they are calling from office of Brandon Taylor, they are from Federal Crime Investigation unit and there is  a case against me. Being aware of scam calls, I started probing him more, he just said that soon one police officer will be on my door step and hang up the phone. Please be aware, this is a scam call and don't respond.

I received a call from this number today, saying legal charges. Looks like a prank call.

This number called today with a thick accent and left a message that I should call immediately as there is some FBI investigation against me. Total Scam.

He called (again) saying that he was officer Smith (with an Indian/Punjabi accent). My husband yelled at him and the guy hung up immediately.

I got this call at my business and they guy sounded like he was reading a script. I then told him he is being recorded. Hangs up. He sounded like he was indian from a call center. Mark Enderson. not Mark Anderson.

I just received a call from this number also saying he was investigating someone with my husbands name, this guy was trying to sound official (with a hard to understand accent) ... And he also started using a threatening tone...guess what I did ... I told him my husband was a Police Investagator and I ask him did he really want to continue with the call and if he did I would record the call ... He then got panicky, said a couple of 'interesting words' and then hung up...lol...I didn't have to hang up on him .... Do u think he'll call back?

yeah some guy called me from that same number ... and when I gave him a piece o my mind, he cussed me out .. then I called him back and cussed him out ... then he calls me back and has been calling me saying derogatory things towards me .. I will be contacting the police about this number

A lady called asking for someone whose name I do not recognize and who does not live here.  I told her it was a wrong number, then she started pestering me saying "Are you sure?  There is a federal investigation going on."  I could tell she was full of crap so I told her never to call here again and hung up.

Received a call from them about 30 mins back.  He claims that he is speaking on a recorded federal line about charges against me (tax, theft, defraud) everything that you can think of.  I just cut him off

>>> officer c. Anderson from federal crime enforcement division. <<<

Federal **Crime Enforcement** Division?  What do *they* do?  Enforce federal crimes?

Person calling and leaving threating messages, referring to them self as officer c. Anderson from federal crime enforcement division. Person said they are investigating a federal crime against me.

Called and told me that he was calling from legal department of IRS and informed me that I was being investigated for a criminal complaint. I told him to send what ever he wanted in writing and hung up.

Got this call today. Somebody talking with a really strange put-on American accent and saying they are from the FBI and that criminal charges are being files against me. Of course a scam. Reverse phone number lookup doesn't reveal the owner's identity. But I am seeing so many similar posts about this number - the real FBI should do something about this number.

Just ignore this guy. Real Jerk. Should report to FBI.

Please do file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..
