5108637037

Why can't this guy be caught? Looks like this has been going on for a while. I looked the number up and it is from the San Francisco area. Seems like something could be done to put this guy in jail!  

Maybe we should take matters into our own hands. If no one is prosecuting this piece of excrement, then who's going to prosecute us for putting this scammer out of business? Obviously, crime pays - until someone fights it, that is.

"Steve Martin" (with and Indian accent) called to warn me that he represented "enforcement actions" from the US Treasury and that I could be forced to appear before a Magistrate or a Grand Jury for a "Federal Criminal Offense".

Called every 45 minutes this morning and left message on my machine.   Called to 650 area code (Mountain View).

I see that US Treasury or IRS wants reports of these calls, so I will report it there too.

He got $7,585.00
I returned from a walk and listened to a message on my answering machine from a Dean Martin saying that I did not pay all of my Federal and State income taxes and that a warrant is out for my arrest.  I got really scared and called the number back.  They told me that my tax person did not file my taxes correctly and I owed $7,485.00 for under paid taxes in 2009 and 2010 including over due fees and fines.  I was told that I needed to pay this amount immediately and I could not pay it over the phone.  If I did not pay this amount according to exact procedure, I would be arrested that morning and serve 15 years in prison.  I was told I could contact no one, not my husband, my tax guy, no one.  I had to go to the bank, take out the money in cash and purchase reloadit cards.  I had to remain on the phone as I was driving and as I went to the bank, Stater Bros. and Vons.  I felt fearful and upset but I controlled my emotions.  After I purchased the reloadit cards, I was instructed to scratch off the back and read each number.

11:24am  I then had to wait 30 minutes for the transaction and my arrest to be cleared.  I was allowed to go into Vons and use the restroom but I had to keep the person on the line.  I felt violated and extremely afraid.  The person got back to me and said that my payment had been rejected and would come back to me.  He told me that not only did I owe tax money for 2009 and 2010, but also for earlier years.  He told me I could not pay the amount owed and I had to go to jail.  I asked him how much it was, and he said $27,000.  I told him I could pay it but I would need my husbands help getting to the credit union.  He did not want me to call my husband, and said I could pay a deposit of $7,600.00 and pay the rest tomorrow.  I asked him about the money I just paid.  He said that didn't count.  I told him I only had $5000.00 in the bank.  He told me I could put the rest on a credit card.  At some point, he got really rude and kept saying “Do you know who your talking to?'  He claimed that I was violating procedure by asking so many questions and that now I couldn't pay anything but that I would be arrested in 20 minutes at my home.  I told him that I was in the Vons parking lot and asked him if I could go home.  At some point, I got disconnected and called Sandy (my husband).  I sobbed to him that I was going to be arrested for not paying enough taxes and that I would be in prison for 15 years.  He said it was a scam and was coming to meet me.  I called my Mom but she didn't answer.  I called Brett (my brother) and left a distressed message.  He met me at Vons and took me home.

1:20pm  I received another call from this Dean Martin and I let Sandy take the call.  This guy Dean figured out it wasn't me he was talking to and used obscene language with Sandy.  Sandy repeated the process and the guy hung up.

4:17pm  I feel that I have been scared out of my wits, that I've been put through the ringer, paranoid, exhausted, stupid for giving away $7,585.00, and just plain distraught.
