Evil IRS scam

This phone number is a scam. Do not believe a word they say. He had me going for a while about my getting arested if I didn't clear up a IRS Tax debit. Being already aduited and I'm already paying back taxes they had me believing them for a while. Till he wanted me to go to the bank and withdraw $1995.00 whils still on the phone. I was instructed not to **** up or they would immediately put out an arrest warrant, meaning I wasn't going to comply. To make a long story short I spoke with my accountant while they were still on the line, but my phone was muted. My accountant****ured me it was a scam, and I have no outstanding debts with the IRS. So I kept him on the phone (voice Muted) for a solid half hour then I came back on and cursed his**** and called him an F'n s***bag. He immediately ***g up.

Janet I received a call about this being a grant from the federal govt. This guy begged me not to **** up on him and because I was such an outstanding citizen the govt was giving me $9000. I told him that the govt doesn't give money to people like me.He wanted to wire the money to my bank account or go to western union to pick it up. I told this man 6 times I was not interested.. ( He gave me this 2068665523 #, but actually called from 773-777-6025.) He said he was going to let the govt know I was not such a great citizen after he ****s up. At least I think that is what he said, I could hardly understand him and kept asking him to slow down. I cannot believe they are still trying to get away with this.

ME! The company is called Degree Match. If you call them back, there are options to be rekoved from calling list. Hoping it works because they call tons of *****in times EVERY *****IN DAY and do not leave msgs, just call, n call, n call, over anx over a***n! Irritating!

This is a scam tele fundraiser for it would seem multiple charities that are questionable themselves. However, in most states they must s**** their pitch by saying "Hello, my name is (full name of fundraiser registered with the SOS or AG) and I am a paid fundraiser with (full name of fundraising company registered with AG or SOS) and I am calling "on behalf" of (full name of charity registered with AG or SOS)If they do not do this and they claim to be members of the group they are raising money for then they are committing fraud a***nst the donor. It is considered in some States to be "Obtaining Money By False Pretenses" and in others it is considered "Theft By Deception" and still other States considered it to be "Larceny". But no matter what you call it it is stealing from the Donor. In some cases when they get caught they are fined as much as 40 grand per call. I read our States Charitable Solicitation's Act and it looks like very few of these companies are raising money according to the Law's of our State and I will bet that if you read your States Charitable Solicitation Act you will find the same to be true. When they claim to be a member of the group they are raising money for, as this company is doing, it is damaging all other charities that do not use so called "Professional Fundraiser's" to raise money. They all know this but they continue to steal from "us" the donating public. Fundraiser's like this must be put out of business as they lie to the donor and they do this because some of these so called fundraisers get to keep as much as 99% of the money they collect and they use that money to call us over and over a***n to ask us for more money that they can use to call us over and over a***n. If you want to give money to charity then the best way is to **** up on the tele fundraiser committing fraud and search out the charity yourself.This company seems to be calling for Police Fire and Veteran's groups as well as medical and children's groups. All of which are wasting the bulk of your donation on fundraising and administrative costs like salary's for the charity officials. You can find out more about this scam group at http://www.pfcl.org/ They are the people whose information took out the United States Navy Veterans****ociation that stole 99.6 million in donations last year. They were also behind the demise of Civic Development Group out of NJ and the FTC's Operation False Charity in 2009 Nationwide based on their book "The Fraud Happen's In The First 8 Word's" which was sent out to all AG's and SOS's. They say they have contacts with the AG's, SOS's ,DHS, FTC, DOJ, FCC and Secret Service across the Country and their tips have been used in some of the largest Charity Fraud investigation's Nationwide as well as other Countries.  You can also find their book called "What The Fundraiser's Say" at a link on their site. They say they are a Church Group and they say this is the Mission of this Church to protect donations going to Police Fire Veteran Medical and Children's Charities. That book is a real eye opener made up of comments by the people calling you. After reading it, I will sure never make a donation over the phone a***n to any group that use so called "Professional Fundraiser's" that operate outside of the law and use illegal techniques to steal money from little sick kids or cops or firefighters or anyone else who really needs it.Anyway, the long and short of it is, GIVE DIRECTLY AND CUT OUT MIDDLEMAN COMPANIES THAT CALL YOU!Oh btw, the do not call list DOES apply to Professional Fundraiser's. Now if the charity actually picked up the phone and called then, yes, they are exempt from the DNC, but that is not what is happening here with this caller. This caller is Corporations for Character out of Murry Utah calling on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police and the FTC just sued them for 26.4 billion dollars worth of DNC violations. That is 16 million violations at 16 thousand dollars each. The FOP is a good group for the most part but they need to do their own fundraising instead of contracting a company like this one to raise money. So, if you want to help the cops or the FOP, dont do it over the phone and send your check right to your local lodge. They get every dollar of it that way, instead of some telemarketer taking 85% or more of every dollar.Here is the FTC press release about this companyFor Release: 05/09/2011FTC Charges Utah Operation with Deceptive and Abusive TelemarketingDefendants Allegedly Made 16 Million Calls to Numbers on the Do Not Call Registry; Misrepresented How Funds Would Be UsedAt the request of the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice today filed a complaint that charges three Utah-based firms and their owner with waging deceptive and illegal telemarketing campaigns pit****g movies and soliciting for donations, including calls to more than 16 million phone numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry.The FTC charged that the companies and their owner, Forrest S. Baker III, committed multiple violations of the FTC Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, and deceived customers about where the proceeds from their purchases and their donations would go.According to the FTC’s complaint, Baker controls a group of Utah-based companies that produce and market films and DVDs and solicit charitable contributions from consumers nationwide, including Feature Films for Families, Inc., Corporations for Character, L.C., and Family Films of Utah.The complaint states that in 2008 and 2009 the defendants conducted a nationwide calling campaign under the name “Kids First,” in which they offered to send two complimentary DVDs and requested feedback on whether the movies should be included on a list of recommended movies. However, the defendants did not disclose that consumers who agreed to parti****te would later receive calls pit****g DVDs produced by the defendants.Moreover, the defendants’ telemarketers allegedly told consumers that “all of the proceeds of this fundraiser will help us finish up creating this recommended viewing list to help parents and grandparents, like us, with a list we can trust.” In fact, the organization responsible for the Kids First recommended viewing list, the Coalition for Quality Children’s Media, did not receive all the proceeds. The complaint alleges that the defendants received at least 93 percent of the DVD sales proceeds.The FTC also alleges that, between 2009 and 2010, the defendants conducted fundraising campaigns for organizations with names related to fraternal orders of police (FOPs) and firefighters. The defendants receive most of the donations raised by these campaigns, and the organizations retain only 15 to 33 percent.The Commission alleges that, in order to persuade donors to give money, the defendants made multiple false and misleading misrepresentations about the nature or purpose of the organizations for which the defendants requested donations, the way in which charitable contributions will be used, and the percentage or amount of any charitable contribution that will go to an organization. For example, the complaint alleges that the defendants falsely represented to donors that administrative costs are a “very minimal amount” and that contributions were used or would be used for safety-related officer training, bulletproof vests, or financial****istance to victims when, in fact, the organization for which the defendants were soliciting did not fund these activities, or used only an incidental amount of the contributions for such activities.The FTC’s complaint also alleges that the defendants have repeatedly called numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry in their telemarketing campaigns. In calls made under the name Kids First, the FTC alleges, the defendants made more than five million calls to consumers whose numbers were on the Registry. The complaint further charges that, since June 2007, the defendants have made approximately nine million additional illegal telemarketing calls to phone numbers that are on the Do Not Call Registry to sell Feature Films for Families DVDs.The FTC alleges that in another calling campaign in 2009, the defendants called consumers to urge them to buy tickets to see “The Velveteen Rabbit,” a film produced by Baker and released in theaters before going to DVD. The FTC complaint alleges that the defendants’ telemarketers made no effort to avoid calling consumers on the Do Not Call Registry. During this two-week campaign, the defendants called more than two-and-a-half-million consumers whose numbers were on the Do Not Call Registry.In addition, the complaint charges that the defendants violated the Telemarketing Sales Rule by:calling consumers who have previously asked that the defendants stop calling them;failing to provide the name of the telemarketer or seller making the call to Caller ID devices and, instead, providing names such as “CUSTOMER SVC,” “FAMILY VALUE CB” or “VELVETEEN”;failing to ****ly identify the seller, the purpose of the call, and the nature of the goods or services when making telemarketing calls; andabandoning calls to consumers by failing to connect consumers to live representatives when they answer the phone. In many cases, such abandoned calls lead to the recipients listening to “dead air” when they answer the call.The Commission vote referring the complaint to the Department of Justice was 5-0. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District for the Northern District of Florida. It names as defendants Feature Films for Families, Inc.; Corporations for Character, L.C.; Family Films of Utah, Inc.; and Forrest Sandusky Baker III, individually and as an owner and prin****l of Feature Films for Families, Inc., Corporations for Character, L.C., and Family Films of Utah, Inc.The complaint, filed by the Department of Justice at the request of the FTC, seeks a court order to permanently bar the defendants from violating the FTC Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, as well as civil penalties, and disgorgement of their ill-gotten ***ns.NOTE: The Commission approves a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendant has actually violated the law. The case will be decided by the court.The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint****istant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

A non profit calling on it's own behalf is exempted. The fundraiser must abide by the DNC. The so called professional fundraiser, Corporations for Character, was sued May 9th 2011 by the FTC for 16 million DNC violations at 16 grand each for a total of 26.4 billion dollars in DNC fines. It is the largest lawsuit of it's kind in the history of the United States. Corporations for Character raised money for Police, Firefighter's and Cancer charities, same as the company on this page.This company seems to be calling for Police Fire and Veteran's groups as well as medical and children's groups.

logan Spam. Trying to phish bank information

My elderly mother-in-law got a call from these scammers as well -- she doesn't have caller ID, so not sure if they called from this number, but this is what they told her to call back to claim the "$3.5 million and a Mercedes" that she won in a contest from Waldbaum's! The guy wanted a $500 "processing fee" and told her the prize could only be claimed by someone over 50. Fortunately she recognized it as a scam but quite possibly they are targeting the elderly as she lives in a senior community. I hope they track him down.

I got an out of area call from a lady saying that I've been granted an award of $7,000. Great, I applied for a NYFA grant in the amount of 7,000 and notification is any day, so I thought this was it. The woman had an Indian accent and then gave me a verification number and a phone number to call, which I did and spoke to someone, with an equal heavy accent, gave her my confirmation number and then got disconnected. She called me back and said I could get my money in cash, because I'm a responsible citizen and pay my bills on time. I realized that was not the NYFA grant and  I told her I wanted a check to prove a paper trail, to which she ***g up on me and I haven't heard from her since. It is a scam. I hate people like this who prey on people just trying to get by month to month. How do we stop *******s like this? The number on the caller ID is 206-866-5571. They are claiming to be working with the federal governement. **** up on them, curse them out, call them what you want. People like this are disgusting and I hope they can be stopped.

My Mother-In-Law got daily calls from this number. The person states that she has won money from Mega-Bucks, Mega-Millon, Inc. out of Seattle, WA. She has to provide $495 for processing fee. I look up the company and got fraudalerts website. They state that it is a***nst Federal Law to be asked for a processing fee.

AngryMoM This is a SCAM.  Don't fall for it!!  You must have signed up for a GRANT for some reason.  They want your money!  Don't send money to get money.  It's a SCAM!!!  CALVIN JONES is the name that they use.

Said his name was Greg and asked if I would do him the favor of calling him back.  Sounds like bill collector.

this number keep calling me!

Please stop calling this line.  It is for emergencies only.  Thank you!

have no idea who this is

THERE ARE NO GRANTS - ITS A SCAM Don’t pay any money for a “free” government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a “free” government grant, it isn’t really free. A real government agency won’t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded — or to pay for a list of grant-making ins***utions. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public li***ry or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov. 16 Ways You Can be Phone Scammed13.    Caller ID S****ing: Generally, the scam works like this - you receive a call where total strangers pretend to be someone else and they back up their claims with s****ed Caller ID. The scam artists might then ask for money, demand a payment, request your personal information, addresses, or banking info. People report getting calls from 'Secretary of State', grandchildren, law firms, IRS, and government officials. o    In another variation of this scam 'government officials' call to offer a 'Government Grant': 'Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a $12,500 government gran***o get your free grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will deposit the grant into your bank account!'  You may receive a message like this, where the caller claims to be from a government agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. The caller might claim that you will qualify to receive a "free grant" to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or bills. In any case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you'll never have to pay the money back. Government Grant ScamsAlthough government grant scams have been around almost as long as the government itself, the majority of the sites being advertised today didn't exist before the November 2008 election.The "free money" scam has been around almost as long as the human species. It has more variations than a bulldog has wrinkles but you can count on one thing: the government (any government) does not simply give money away to individuals. Anyone who tells you differently has larceny in his heart. If you give him your bank account number, he will soon have your funds in his pocket. It does no good to list all of the names used by these bunko artists because a.) they c****e all the time and b.) every single free-money government-grant offer is a scam. Period.In one e-book, The Truth Behind Government Grants Exposed, the author (w***ver he or it might be) admits that grants are not easy to get. The e-book goes so far as to say, "Now, I know what you must be thinking, but don't be discouraged because understanding that you do not qualify for the majority of Federal and Private Grants is the first step to actually getting a grant."http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/03/grant_scam_ads.htmlhttp://www.consumeraffairs.com/scam_alerts/grant.htmlhttp://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/03/ftc_stimulus_scam.htmlFEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WEBSITE      http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.shtm‘Free Government Grants’: Don’t Take Them For Grant-ed“Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a free $12,500 government grant! To get your grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will direct-deposit the grant into your bank account!” Sometimes, it’s an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a “free grant” to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or unpaid bills. Other times, it’s a phone call supposedly from a “government” agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. In either case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you’ll never have to pay the money back. But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, says that “money for nothing” grant offers usually are scams, whether you see them in your local paper or a national magazine, or hear about them on the phone. Some scam artists advertise “free grants” in the classifieds, inviting readers to call a toll-free number for more information. Others are more bold: they call you out of the blue. They lie about where they’re calling from, or they claim legitimacy using an official-sounding name like the “Federal Grants Administration.” They may ask you some basic questions to determine if you “qualify” to receive a grant. FTC attorneys say calls and come-ons for free money invariably are rip offs. Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can “deposit your grant directly into your account,” or cover a one-time “processing fee.” The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you’re not satisfied. In fact, you’ll never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money.The FTC says following a few basic rules can keep consumers from losing money to these “government grant” scams:     Don’t give out your bank account information to anyone you don’t know. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information confidential. Don’t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.     Don’t pay any money for a “free” government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a “free” government grant, it isn’t really free. A real government agency won’t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded — or to pay for a list of grant-making ins***utions. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public li***ry or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.     Look-alikes aren’t the real thing. Just because the caller says he’s from the “Federal Grants Administration” doesn’t mean that he is. There is no such government agency. Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your ***ch — or not.     Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems. Although it may look like they’re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.     Take control of the calls you receive.

September 2006 Feds: Scammers Falsely "Guaranteed" Government GrantsCourt halts operators' deceptive pitches for grant writing book and servicesBy James Limbach ConsumerAffairs.comJuly 24, 2009 A federal judge has stopped an operation from falsely claiming that it could help consumers secure a "$25,000 Grant" -- guaranteed -- from the U.S. government.The case is part of a Federal Trade Commission *****down on scammers trying to capitalize on the economic downturn by targeting people facing financial hardship.In the complaint the FTC, jointly with the attorneys general of Kansas, Minnesota, and North Carolina, charged that Grant Writers Ins***ute, LLC and its related en***ies (together, GWI) falsely told consumers that they were eligible for grants as part of the recently announced economic stimulus package .According to the complaint, the false and deceptive claims by GWI violate federal law, state consumer protection laws, and the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule. The complaint seeks a court order permanently stopping the defendants' illegal conduct and forcing them to return money to consumers injured by the scheme."Stamping out grant fraud and other types of schemes that take advantage of consumers in dire financial shape continues to be one of the Federal Trade Commission's highest priorities," said David Vladeck, Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection. "There is no such thing as a guaranteed grant. But to consumers in financial trouble, the chance for extra income -- guaranteed or otherwise -- can unfortunately be a huge draw."The FTC says since at least 2007, GWI has mass mailed postcards to consumers across the country falsely claiming that the consumers "are Guaranteed a $25,000 Grant from the U.S. Government." Consumers who call the number are pitched a $59 book ***led "Professional Grant Writer 'The Definitive Guide to Grant Writing Success.'"The company's telemarketers falsely claim that the book will explain how to get government grants  -- including the "guaranteed" $25,000 grant. GWI and its North Carolina-based telemarketers, also named as defendants in the complaint, then call consumers who have bought the book, trying to get them to pay ***dreds of dollars or more for grant research, writing, or coa****g services, falsely claiming a 70 percent success rate in securing grant funding.In reality, few, if any consumers ever receive any grant money.The Commission contends that in addition to falsely claiming consumers were "guaranteed" to receive grants, GWI used the current government stimulus package to make its pitch. For example, when consumers called the number on the mass-mailed postcard, they heard a recording that said, "If you've been reading the papers you know that recently our government released $700 billion into the private sector. What you probably don't know is that there is another $300 billion that must be given away this year to people just like you."The recording continues, "And if you're one of the lucky few who knows how to find and apply for these grants, you will receive a check for $25,000 or more, and we guarantee it . . . If you don't get a check for $25,000 or more, you pay nothing."The following were named as defendants:• Affiliate Strategies, Inc.;• Landmark Publishing Group, LLC (d/b/a G.F. Ins***ute and Grant Funding Ins***ute);• Grant Writers Ins***ute, LLC;• Answer Customers, LLC;• Apex Holdings International, LLC;• Brett Blackman, individually and as an officer, manager, and/or member of Affiliate Strategies, Inc., Landmark Publishing Group, LLC, Grant Writers Ins***ute, LLC, Answer Customers, LLC, and Apex Holdings International, LLC;• Jordan Sevy, individually and as a manager of Landmark Publishing Group, LLC;• James Rulison, individually and as president of Answer Customers, LLC, all located in Kansas.The complaint also names the following North Carolina en***ies as defendants:• Real Estate Buyers Financial Network LLC (d/b/a Grant Writers Research Network);• Martin Nossov, individually and as a manager and member of Real Estate Buyers Financial Network LLC; and• Alicia Nossov, individually and as a manager and member of Real Estate Buyers Financial Network LLC.Read more: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/07 ... l#ixzz0NENGCoRV
