Called stating I was approved for a $5000 loan and I needed 2 send 1st months payment of $250 before funds could be released. Sent 5 $50 gift cards of Apple's itunes, as requested and got scam. When I called back to inquiry about funds, they wanted $475 for activation fees. All five cards have been used by them.
Claimed to be IRS. Couldn't give me a case number or my SS number. Wanted me to go to the "federal store" to buy a payment voucher and send it to them. Claimed there was a warrant for my arrest waiting to be executed if I didn't comply. This is not how the IRS does business. I challenged his legitimacy and he became agitated. Was either Indian or Pakistani by his accent.
I was returning the call when they answered the phone he said he was the IRS he said he was going to seize my bank account and that two officers were coming over to get me and throw me in jail in the next 15 to 30 minutes. He is East Indian at least sounds East Indian.
