I want to add that my gut feelings are this scam is an INSIDER JOB! B/c (1) their tactics are very similar to how the lawyers extracted consent to plea bargains from defendants in the courthouses, and (2) the scammer mentioned "I looked at your files that you need to pay more...". So,they must have worked in the law enforcement at some point in their career and they can "access" to tax files. When the scammer called me, they used 1-800-829-1040, who else can use the IRS toll free line? Importantly, my gut feeling is these scammers are people working *inside* the IRS who are familiar with using scare tactics with victims OR they are a bunch of people CHALLENGING THE GOVERNMENT!In that case, they should be caught by all means. I think the relevant authority have enough details to catch these scammers b/c when I reported to the police station, I think the guy didn't receive his money from MONEYPAK yet b/c he is still calling my cellphone a few times when I refused to answer. If the police keep chasing the phone nos. through VERIZON and MONEYPAK transaction nos, I believe the police and relevant authorities can definitely nail them down.

TAX ARREST WARRANT SCAM VICTIM - I received a call at 3:30 p.m. on 3/19/2014. 979-705-5132 appeared on phone as from *FREEPORT, TX*. Lady w/Indian accent claimed she's from *IRS* asked to speak to me on tax matter. She told me an "Arrest Warrant" will be issued against me tomorrow. Then she transferred me to MIKE WILSON to settle the tax debt. Wilson told me that he “has authority to forgive outstanding taxes from 2008-2012 if I can pay $2,500 *immediately* or “you’ll be arrested tomorrow”. When I asked for relevant tax file nos., Wilson got angry+retorted, "This is very sensitive matter, I cannot give you the requested information over the phone. If you pay me now, your tax debts will be forgiven. If not, you will be arrested tomorrow!" He gave me 800-829-1040 to call for payment. I did call, it's a IRS office. Then RICHARD JOHNSON another tax officer called me, I was so scared that out of fear, I chose to settle now. The scammer instructed me not to tell anyone but to leave my cell phone on while I drive to the ATM to retrieve cash and purchase *GREEN DOT MONEYPAK* for settlement. While driving, the cell phone was cut off a few times. Each time, the scammer called back to make sure I was following his instructions and had not talked to anyone. After I paid him by telling him three MONEYPAK card nos. totalled $2000, the scammer told me, “You owe more than $2,000, you need to pay us more $$$$….” By which point, I was overwhelmed because I cannot pay any more! And I had to ask a friend for help. The cell phone was still on inside my pocket all this time. I had to gesture my friend to be very quiet. She drove me to the local police station to ask for help instead of driving to the bank. At the station, Officer Jaskolka had me tried to call the MONEYPAK toll free no. to stop payment and refund. But too late, MONEYPAK was unable to stop the payment and the representative pointed me to a disclaimer clause on the card. A police report has been filed.
