Type of a scam Government Grant

I was cashed and told I was being awarded a $9,000 Grant front the U.S. government but i had to pick up my money at a Money Gram location. I was asked to pay a $150 security deposit and then the funds would be released to me. I did not go through with this but I think people would due yup the level of professionalism of the organization.

Type of a scam Tax Collection

I received a cell phone call from 202-800-0780 (called this # and get recorded message that the # is no longer in service) today at 12:19 that was a recorded message stating that it was the US Treasury Dept. I called back at the number they left 202-800-0782. The person that answered had a foreign voice and said, "US Treasury Department, this is Officer Darren James, Badge#174336. He told me that an officer would be at my residence within 1/2 hour to arrest me for tax evasion in the amount of $3,786.21 and went into saying that I would need to get an accountant and an attorney and described fines and charges and stated that if I get taken to jail it could end up costing me up to $60,000.00. He told me that the case# was JC1458642. He summed up the conversation by asking me if I have any questions and when I said "no" he said "ok, I will go ahead and process the arrest warrant". I am not delinquent on my taxes and never have been so I called the Elkhart Sheriff Department to report this and they told me they have received a few phone calls regarding this same issue and told me it is a scam that is going around our area. I want to report this. What a terrible thing to do to people!! Please let me know if you need any other information. Thank-You.

The person says they are from US Treasury Department and if we don’t call them back in a timely manner an arrest warrant could be issued. They say it is about tax fraud.

They left a message on our answering machine.

I received a call today from the "U.S. Treasury department" claiming that I owe over $5000.00 in back taxes from 2013. I called the number back today and when I began asking questions, they hung up. They gave me a case number (***). When I called the number back, sometimes I got a man, an Indian man by with the last name O’Connell and a woman named Erica Brown. The man on the phone initially threatened to have me arrested.
