Got a call from a person who said his name is Mike Johnson and said he is from Crime Investigation Bureau from Pennsylvania. As soon as I picked up the phone, he started screaming and saying I am going to jail and I am charged with 3 separate issues and I owe IRS over $20k which I am trying to avoid. When I was still in disbelief and trying to digest what he was saying, he said he is connecting to local police in NJ and immediately another person appeared on the Phone by name Watson and said he is a police officer and he received my arrest warrant faxed to him by Mike Johnson,. While still screaming, Mike Johnson said he is connecting to Immigration and make sure I am jail for 7 months and immigration will take away my passport and visa and send me back to India. Another person by name Mehta comes on and says he is from Indian Embassy in DC whereas I thought Mike Johnson say he is connecting Immigration. Now Mehta comes on line and tries to talk to me in Gujurati and I tell him i don't know the language. Mehta starts talking to me in HIindi and says he is trying to help me and asks how much I can afford to pay at this time so that he will negotiate for that amount. At this time, Mike is still screaming that I cannot hang up or he will send Watson to arrest me in 30 minutes. Anyways, I could not take this nonsense anymore as this was a SCAM, hung up and went to my township police and registered a case. Now these guys I think are on the run. When I call back their number, no one answers or the phone message box is full. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
