Hello,
I just received a call from this guy today also acting like an investigator for IRS. Telling me if I do not call back he is going to show up on my doorstep. I am going to send a complaint to the FTC also. Maybe the more people that complain they will do something about him!

He calls from 917-387-1876

Thanks Tamianth. I do suspect that's the case - it's frustrating to see that the same number has been used to perpetrate various fraudulent schemes for over half a year. The phone number itself is American, so even if the perpetrator is using a magic jack or something similar - there should be someone in America capable of shutting down the line (and this schmuck would find a new one, but if it's done often enough, there will be a transactional cost for switching, in terms of time and opportunity if not money).

Considering the types and amounts of data that the government is storing on all of us, it shouldn't be hard to track down people like this - in many countries phone numbers have to be tied to a name or a business - we're doing essentially the same but only for well intentioned, law abiding domestic people. I don't see why it should be so easy for a foreigner living abroad to buy an American number. There is an FBI presence in places like India and Pakistan (where people think that this guy is operating from, based on his accent), and the legitimate call center businesses there are a source of legal foreign income, so there is definitely a channel for pressure that we hold on them diplomatically.

I did report it to the FTC, IRS, and so forth. The local police where I live is a combination of lazy and clueless. My town doesn't have it's own police force, and the two agencies that share patrols here hand work off to the other and conveniently identify the other as the one holding primary jurisdiction  - but either one is hard to track down, and they don't take too kindly to flagging them down off the road :)

Again, my frustrations are because of the persistent calls and inability to stop them.

Thanks for the response.

Well, did you stop and think that maybe your caller is another country?  Something to think about there! That is one of the main issues with all these calls. Not every caller you are getting is actually in the US, nor is every country going to co-operate with us. Its also clear with these scam calls they have no clue how our laws actually work!

Well he's now switched over to being an IRS agent.

Alias Mark Brown, Justin Johnson, & Michael Johnson.

Who knows what kind of accent this dingbat has but he's trying very hard to conceal it and making it that much worse.

Wonderful to see that the FTC or law enforcement has done nothing about this clown.

I also just recvd a message; foreigner telling me congratulations! My loan was approved and they just need me to call and verify.  What loan?  Recognized it immediately as a scam and googled the number. Came up with this site. Insane. If I had time to waste I would make further efforts but ...   More important for others to be vigilant not to fall prey and not to answer calls from strange numbers and certainly not to call such numbers back.

They just called me and when I told them to take me off their list the guy went ballistic on me, he told me he'd kill me and that he'd "piss on my face". I called the FTC and filed a complaint.

They call me several times a day, normally about 15-20. Half the time I don't answer, answered today told guy to remove me from calling list and he tells me he loves me. Continues to call back over and over.  Do NOT answer phone, waste of your time. I would love to sue them for harassment, but since they are not from this country, wouldn't do any good.
