I too was contacted on 3/12/14. It was an emergency 911 call from Ofc. Steve Williams stating that there is a federal warrant for my arrest and that I was to call Ofc John Schumaker immediately to prevent my arrest. Upon speaking with him he stated that I owed $6995 for a miscalculation of the 2009-2011 tax years and that he was prepared to close the case once I paid the full amount. I asked why wasn't I notified and his reply was that the IRS made 3 attempts to contact me. He even knew my email address.I told him I could not afford the attorney that he suggested I get for my defense. I asked him about payment arrangements (only to buy myself time to look into it myself) we agreed to make 2- $50 payments the next morning. I then googled his name, and thank God good people like yourselves on this blog posted information to provide me with a measure of relief. That's why I'm posting my story. Also the number is a "Magic Jack" number. I hope the authorities find these people.

Just Received the same call as below for my husband. He called the number and it looks like a bogus scam.

Some guy (Steve Williams?) called us and said he is calling from Sherrif's office and said that they received a federal complaint against me and I have an arrest warrant and asked me to call John Schumacho(or something like that) at 786-378-6626 to see what is going on.

Anonymous caller introduced himself as an officer in cherokee county sheriff department by the name Smith asked me to do exactly the same things as above due to similar reasons with similar threats. Gave the number 786 378 6626 to call officier Don Baraga. I do appreciate others who posted it before me to warn of us about to the scam these people do and praying there could be a solution to this.

Exactly the same thing Steve Williams called his number 805 781 4540 ( according to him is calling from that ) then said arrest warrant etc to call 786 378 6626 . Bs

Very bad english. Sounds eastern european. Call went something like this.    This officer Steve Baker or something (could not understand his pronunciation) calling from Sheriffs department about a federal complaint about an associate or my associate.

We too got a call from a person who mentioned that he is from the Sheriff's office and instructed that I call this number since there is an arrest warrant issued against me. We called the number which was answered by someone who refused to tell me what place it was (I asked - is it a police station, IRS or what?) and then after taking down my name - "transferred me to " John Schumaker, who claimed to be an IRS agent and that he had complained to the Sheriff's office and that a warrant had been issued for my arrest. He offered to give me my case number and I told him I will call him shortly as I had to hand over some work I was doing to a co-worker. I then called this number back but also saw the above posts when I googled this number at the same time and then promptly hung up.

I received a similar call from that number (786-378-6626), about 30 minutes ago. Everything was the same as you mentioned, including  the case file number (2060BM561). Since I googled his number as I was talking to him, I came across your message. Thank you for your message. I told him I will go the legal route instead of paying him with greendotmoneypak.

Some guy (Steve Williams?) called us and said he is calling from Sherrif's office and said that they received a federal complaint against me and I have an arrest warrant and asked me to call John Schumacho(or something like that) at 786-378-6626 to see what is going on. He also said that they will send sheriff to my door step to arrest. I told him not to call again. This is a scam, do not give any information to these guys.

Just received call from same number saying there is federal complaint against me. I told him that I will contact federal dept myself and cut the line.

Threatening Call

got call from John Schumacker at 786-378-6626 stating he was a special agent from the IRS and was threatening about a arrest warrant. This is a scam. Don't give any information out to these people.

Call from unknown and also 919 284 5993 to call me to 786 378 6626

I got a call from Officer Steve Williams (had an accent - perhaps Middle Eastern?) regarding a notarized arrest warrant that was about to be issued for my husband and that I needed to call Officer John Shumaker, who is a Federal Officer, at 786-378-6626 to sort it out. He also gave me a case file number 2060BM561. The caller ID showed the Norfolk County Sheriff's Office, so I called them to confirm the names of the officers - they didn't recognize either name. I then got a call 40 minutes later for myself - same guy (who obviously didn't realize that he had just spoken to me), same story (that I was about to have a notarized warrant for my arrest and I needed to call John Shumaker) and even gave me the same case file number! THIS IS A SCAM!!

I got a voice mail from a guy with a thick accent saying he was Scott Williams from Somerset County Sheriff's Office saying that the nature of this call is to inform me that they received a federal complaint against me and my social security number.  An officer John Schumaker is working for the "Federal Bureau" and has been asked to issue a notarized warrant on my name  so he wants me to speak with that officer John Schumaker at that number (786 378 6626) to see what's going on.  If I don't call, he is going to send an investigation team to my doorstep at with a notarized search warrant on my name.  I have two options, call myself (sheriff) or call John Schumaker within a week or I'll see myself behind bars.  This was on Jan 23rd in the afternoon at 2:27 PM.  
A bunch of scam artists still continuing their sly-mi work and what these government agencies are doing?

A call first came from some by someone named Scott Williams who mention that he is from the Sheriff's office and instructed that we call this number since there is an arrest warrant issued against us. We called the number which was answered by someone named John Schumaker, who claimed to be an IRS agent and threatened that they have an arrest warrant and will get us arrested. Asked for his ID information, but he did not provide and cut the call.

Called IRS, they confirmed it is a scam and that IRS never calls, they send letters.

Please beware

*******************************
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."
****************************************
A Collection Agent May Not?

Here are the top 11 actions prohibited by the The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act:

Misrepresent Him or Herself

  A debt collector may not misrepresent himself as an attorney or law enforcement officer.

Use the Telephone to Annoy or Harass

  A collection agent may not cause a telephone to ring or engage any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with an intent to annoy, abuse, or harass anyone at the called number.

Threaten Arrest or Lawsuit

  A collection agent may not threaten a consumer with arrest. It may not threaten legal action that is either not permitted or not actually contemplated. In other words, a the threat of a lawsuit may be an empty one.

Use Abusive or Threatening Language

  A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.

Publish a Bad Debt List

  Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.

Contact By Embarrassing Media

  A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.

Contact a Consumer at Work

  A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.

Seek Unjustifiable Amounts

  A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Contact a Consumer Represented by an Attorney

  A collection agent may not contact a consumer after it learns the consumer is represented by a lawyer.

Communicate With a Consumer After Receiving a Validation Request

  If a consumer sends a written §1692g response within 30 days, the collection agent may not communicate with the consumer until it mails the consumer the requested verification of original creditor's name and address.

Communicate With Third Parties

  A debt collector may not reveal or discuss the nature of a consumer?s debts with third parties other than the consumer?s spouse or attorney. A collection agent may contact neighbors or co-workers only to obtain location information. It may contact a third party again if it has reason to believe the information the party provided previously is false.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ

Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:

Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?

  Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.

I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?

  No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.

A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay

  This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

I got a voicemail from "Unknown" from a guy with a thick accent (Nigeria?) saying he was Sheriff Joe Brown from State something something department saying that the nature of this call is to inform me that they received a federal complaint against me and my social security number.  An officer Jack Hoffman is working for the "Federal Bureau" and has been asked to issue a notarized warrant on my name today so he wants me to speak with that officer John Hoffman at that number to see what's going on.  If I receive a call or complaint on my name, he is going to send an investigation team to my doorstep at my employment place with a notarized search warrant on my name.  I have two options, surrender myself or call Jack Hoffman or I'll see myself behind bars in a couple of hours.  That was yesterday.  I don't check my voicemail that office. What a bunch of b*****d scammers

A man called me from this number, unsolicited. He said I had applied for a loan from Wells Fargo.   I never did.  He then said I was pre-approved. They wanted my bank info. This number is a scam!

Been getting calls from this number for several weeks about a loan with JP Morgan Chase where I've been pre-approved for $15k.  This is a lie never applied with Chase for a loan, these people move back and forth from sending emails from Chase stating the same things to calls.  I'm blocking these numbers starting today hopefully this will stop the call back-to-back.

they just cleaned me out 600, f****n scumbags !!! SCAM SCAM SCAM

same number from florida called me with the same bs , but i actually did apply ...they just cleaned out my account 600.00

They called me saying that they were calling about my loan application with JP Morgan Chase.  I have never applied for a loan with them.  I hung up on him. Couldn't understand the accent much....

Left message in very bad English about a loan and need info to verify for some fake bank. So tired of these scammers. They were calling from 518-239-2198 but went to the next number. As they are out of country it's impossible to stop.
