I got scamed, like a fool today

[Julio Jerez]

I man who identify himeself as an IRS offiser Jason Miller left me a message, sain that urgent that I reply the call or else.
The phone number was this 1 716 335 7766 and the name is Jason Miller. and the person resposding was very offceal sounding.

I was suprcioes of how much information they had about me, and since I had beei audited by the IRS in the pass, I beleive the call.
The charge was Money Laudring and Tax evation since 2010. I know that this is not true, because I pay all my taxes on time.
But the man say that if I do not do wha the say, they will proceed with the prosecution.

The say that I has to pay 3,400.00 imediatlly. it will cost me around 50,000 in leag alfeed to defend myself, that I will be deported,
my house and my banck account will be ceassed.

He game game me the instrution of what to do.
-Go to a 7/11 a buy 3,400 worth of GreenDot MoneyPak prepaid card, so that I can buy a goverment bond.
I went to the 7/11 and bough the cards but they had a limit of $1000.00, so when I call back I ask whey that card is
not a goverment card and he toll a camenia story, by I gave him the code anyway.

Then he say that he can not give me more information untill I paid in full, so he game, the adress fo another store to buy the rest,
and beleive or not I when and Bought $2,400.00 of GreenGo preapaid card.

this time when I called back I ask for some official place where I can go in person to make the payment. or and addres tha I cam mail a check.
and the he start to push the story with ridiculase thing. Thsi tiem he added that my citizen ship will be striped from me and I will be deported.
he said the the police will be there in a moment to arrest my, I said fine send the police, I can paid them
few minutes later some one else called saying that are from 911 asking me my adress so that the can come over and arrest me.
and it when on and on.

after that I wenr to the police and made the report. The police infomed me that was a well know rim of scamer from Buffalo New York.

So if you have a call like that be awere that it is all fake.

after that I call then from a different phone, and the man how previusly identified as Jason Miller had a oriental accent,
know from the secund phone I did not say who I was bu I ask from the same man,
thsi time the same Jason Miller had a Hispanic accent, and instead a IRS officer now he was an FBI agent.

I called them to congratualete them for the elaborated hoex, 1000,00 is not going to make any difference to me,
but I had to give it to them, for all the effort they going into to still money from people.

It's incredible how resourceful people can be when it comes to stealing money from people.
We have alot of that going on here in sweden as well. Usually they are trying to get your credit card information or make you pay fake invoices.

A collegue of mine almost fell for a quite clever scam some years ago.
She was selling a motorcycle and a man from england called and wanted to buy it. The problem was he couldn't come to sweden to get it so instead a shipping company would take
care of that. The deal was that after he transfered the money to her she would call the shipping company to pick the motorcycle up. No risk there. But he asked if she could pay the shipping company the shipping fee because he had technical problems doing that because the shipping company was swedish. He sent a link to the company web site to book a shipping order and she almost made the payment but there was some details she wasn't sure about so she called the shipping company. They said you can't book shipping online. That way she realized it was a scam. The scam wasn't about the motorcycle, he just wanted her to fill in her credit card information on a fake web site.
