I got a similar call do not remember the # exactly but I traced the call to a Fresno, Bakersfield exchange in CA and I saw lots of notes about fraud telephone numbers. The caller said I owe the IRS money. I knew it must be something of a mischief.I immediately called my accountant who does my taxes who knows everything about IRS. He said IRS will never call you for anything. If you owe money to IRS you will always get a letter and he told me to ignore the call.

I got call from this number from a person claiming to be "state crime dept investigation officer" by name Jack Green... asking to call back on some 717 685 2487 ...which is OUT OF SERVICE .... and non working number... I have already reported to State Dept office in Washington DC about this fake calling.. When called State Dept number ( go to State Dept website, click contact us and call DC number to report about this caller and phone number), they checked his name and told me NO ONE is there by this name working for them..Let's hope that this guy get arrested asap..

Print this out and give it to your boss or have him come here and read! Its a scam..  They are extortionist breaking the laws. Some of these clowns are trying to even collect on bankruptcy debts which is illegal!  You can not be arrested for owing a debt by the way! It is a civil matter and it must go through the court.

According to the law, they have to give you proof in writing, not email or fax. Go to the right side bar and read the laws  and know your rights under the latest articles..

Report them to the FTC,FBI, State attorney General and the FCC.  <both of the sites will tell you the laws also in regards>

They called my job and said that I owed money, they also said if i do not settle the matter that they will have me arrested............They did not tell me this they called and told my employer this crap!!!!!!!!!!!

He said his name is Officer Alan Carter from Tennessee

I hope ur dad is fine.I received a similar call yesterday. And its the same phone no, whereas the call back number was of Newyork. An investigation officer wouldn't give his personal phone no.He said he is officer Adam Scott from State Investigation Department and that there is a legal case under my name. For a while I was really scared and thought what wrong have I done. But thanks to this forum, which made me realize that it's a scam. These are some call center guys, who are using the data for wrong purposes.

i got a call from 626-236-5675 which was picked by my aged dad. By then damage was already done... as my dad believed who the caller said he was. I took phone away from my dad and was introduced to 'IRS' Agent from New York that told me about arrest warrant against my name for not paying taxes. I have paid my taxes. I knew he was prank so i yelled at him and scolded him, he did not expect that... soon his professional mannerism melted into indian accent (saalaa bhadwaa).. he was literally trembling on phone at that point when i clicked off. How can such petty thieves get away?

Today I got the phone call from this number and the same is message, It is a fraud call. We should report it to FBI. It is really disturbing.

August 6th, 2013.

I received a call today from 626 236 5675 number. It says they are "State Investigation Officer". They are the Bronx office. They say they have an IRS office with an Legal affidavit against me. When I hang up, they say they called me back again. I asked them to send a letter. Normally a letter with call back number is valid way of Govt communications. Anything over the phone can be considered as  a scam.

I received a similar call from (Unknown Name: Unknown Number). The person claimed to be from the Crime Investigation Department and said he had an arrest warrant for my dad. He said that my dad owed taxes for 2011 and 2012 and that he would forward the warrent to the state police department if I didnt make a payment over the phone immediately. I was really scared. I told him that once my dad gets home he will call the IRS directly to see if there is any need to for the IRS to speak to him. Then I called the local police department and reported the call. They gave me the number to the Criminal Investigation Bureau to report he phone call. ***Do not give the caller any information and contact your local Criminal Investigation Bureau Department to report he calls*** Lets get these b*****ds to stop calling.

Brandon taylor called me too saying that he is going to deport me take my passport blah blah blah. i told him i am recording the conversation and will report to AG about threatening an US citizen

Got a call from "Brandon Taylor" from 626-236-5675. First he was from State Police, when I told him to give me his name, department name and a phone number, he said he was from IRS and gave me 845-842-2019 as the number. Not sure how he got hold of my cell number but regardless, he was not thrilled when i told him i will call AG and IRS direct to validate him. Looking at the comments below, it appears that these guys have been busy. In the Call type drop down menu, they should have an option for Scams to properly identify this kind of call. I have marked it as prank but, really, this is not a prank but a criminal activity

Something need be done.

Re: They were about to kidnap my wife and son and hacked my cell phone and home phone! Dangerous people! In that kind of certain situation do fun with them if you accidentally receive their call and hung up! Do not receive any unknown call or personal call from any body in the world. I think that may help! Best/ G

These a***oles called my moms house claiming to be from the PA crime unit telling my mother I am a crime suspect. The second time they called from an Alambra, California number claiming to br Officer William in an Indian accent asking for me. My mother called me all nervous but she was smart enough not to give them my number. I was going to go to the local precinct but i decided not to and I will just tell my mother tomorrow to tell them to go f*** themselves in her Indian accent lol

Harrasing calls...says he has a warrant against me and wants me to call him back.

I rcceived call from 626-236-5675 posing as crime investing dept. I said I do not know such dept give me your name and address. He give mw is name Brian Adndreson. when I told him I will check with FBI and call you back, He stared geting crancky and told me that FBI know my name and address. then he hang the phone. He left the massage before too. Back groung nosie is like call center from Asia.

Received a call from this number posing as Federal Crime Investigation department that I have 3 allegations and local police is coming to arrest me. I owe IRS money from 2010 and 2011 and the DA can settle down right now. I have 30 minutes to decide, do not discuss with anyone, I am trying to help you. I should go to the bank right now, keep my cell phone on all the time because the phone is being recorded. Withdraw the money right now and the  officer will be at your door to collect the money. I asked for 5 minutes time to verify but they did not want me to hang up the phone because the phone is being recorded. If I hang up the phone, the case will go to the court and I will have to pay 45K court fee. I reported the matter to the local police station but the police said they already have 10 reports. It is a scam. Please do not believe them.

A guy with a very thick, difficult-to-understand South Asian accent calls me every week or so on this number, claiming to be from the "Crime Investigation Department", whatever the heck that is.

DO NOT BELIEVE OR GIVE IN TO WHAT THESE GUYS SAY. This is a phone scam using fear tactics to get money from you. From what I've seen, it's mostly targeted to folks of Punjabi or South Asian decent. It is likely they find a phone number to older folks with Punjabi or Indian-sounding names on the Internet.

These types of crimes are extremely common. (See http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2013/04/2 ... rly-Couple.html) If you're not sure if they're the real deal, ask them very specific questions. Ask them what agency they're with. Ask the person for his/her name. Even go as far as looking them up online while you're talking to them.

Finally, keep in mind that if a warrant for your arrest has ever been issued, THEY WON'T CALL YOU! The police or agents will just show up on your doorstep. They don't give you the chance to flee.

These guys have called several times and left messages on my machine. I actually answered this time and informed them that I know they're fake and that I've reported them several times. The guy just said, "Okay," and hung up. That should be enough to know that they are impersonators.

ONE LAST THING: If you find out that they are scammers, file a complaint with the FTC!  https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en This will keep them from scamming unsuspecting folks in the future, especially the elderly.

Called as "mike" who was state police dept officer and had warrent for arrest . He was very rude and totally a scammer!!!! DO NOT BE SCARED and report this fraud idiot!

this person called and said thereis a
case legal case against me

Pretending to be a police officer, from crime investigation department . Google search on this number shows this is clearly a fraud .

I got similar call, and they are fake, do not answer.

Recently received scam - call / message for some crime investigation case against me from  626-236-5675 this number.DO NOT answer or call back.

This person three four time called on my home phone and he got my cell no from my wife, than called me and said to me I am from Crime Investigations Department, he shows me like original officer.

I got strange called, voice message left on my machine, my family got scared:

The person left voice message he called himself, Federal officer Mike Anderson from Crime Investigations Department, indicated that I have  a warrant out for my arrest. Call back them at 626-236-5675 which is in California, to contact Officer Thomas O'Brien who would give me more information regarding this issue to resolve.

I called local police NYPD 108 Prcnt, NY PD 1 Plaza, and also went to Queens county Criminal Court to find out is there really any warrant on my name, found zero, nothing.
One of NYPD from NYPD plaza Google the given fake number and found lots of people reported about this phone calls, that really  help me to make sure it is false and prank call.

Thanks to all  NYPD, Justice Department  for their help.

Left a message saying he is officer Derek Marshall from Crime Investigations Department. Caller ID showed number 626-236-5675.No department name. Said my name is involved in some ID fraud and to call him back at 503-741-8234 an Oregon number.

I received a phone call from an unknown person posing as a fake police officer. He claimed his name was "Deputy Watson from the California State Police" and that there was a warrant out for my arrest. He gave me a fake badge #4927 and stated that I was "involved in identity theft fraud." He told me to call a Thomas O'Brien who would give me more information regarding this issue.

For those who receive this fraudulent phone call, remember the following before getting concerned:

-A Police Officer will never call you directly regarding this matter
-There is no California State Police

626-236-5675:
This is a big scam and the guy is pretending an officer and asked me to call back to solve some kind of federal crime issue. I never called back .H e is really a son of the B.......
Don't trust this call next time report to local police. As singh mentioned above that he paid them $3600.I wish if he can report to the police to track the money.

Did you send money via your bank account?  If so, call your bank immediately and dispute it as fraudulent.  If you paid via other means, then the money probably is gone.
