I was contacted by a Alexander Lee, badge number 429188, regarding delinquent IRS taxes for a number of years (tax years 2013, 14, thru 16). He stated that a legal process was underway to bring charges of Fraud, money laundering, willful neglect, tax evasion, and a number of other things. He stated that I should be aware of the cost in taking on a tax attorney and that the $2,704.00 that I owed for the above periods would be compounded as a result of fines and interest charges. He further indicated that a affidavit that would be filed on 6/28/2018 and that an arrest warrant issued by my county would soon follow. This individual was very convincing and seamed to have enough knowledge about IRS processes i.e. the tax code and various IRS documentation to make an uninformed person believe. We never proceeded to a request for fund transfer or payment. Please share this with all those that might fall prey to such an individual.

I received a automated message in my voicemail stating that some one had been trying to contact me about a legal matter ( "4 serious allegations pressed")and I needed to return their call right away.
When I called the telephone number provided in the Voicemail, I spoke to a man named Song Wilkinson who claimed I owed a large sum of money to the IRS , including up to $22,000 for legal fees. When I questioned the debt and mentioned that I needed to contact my tax guy and find out more information, I was told that calling my IRS guy will deem the out of court settlement null and void. There were about 4 or 5 people involved, calling and making threats to have me arrested. I received a call from 202-660-9953 from a rep who claimed to be a police officer, stating that if I was not going to comply, he would track my location from my phone and come and arrest me. He also informed that the amount owed would increase If I was arrested for failing to comply. I was then told that they would try to help me out, and reduced the legal fees from $22,000 to $11,000.
Over the course of 4 days, I was instructed to travel to various apple stores in Annapolis, Golden Ring, and Columbia mall, to purchase I tunes gift cards in the amount of $4500.00. The cashier at the Apple store did question the reason for my purchase, but the scammer who I believed to be the IRS at the time, told me that If I am asked the reason for purchase, inform this the gift cards were for a family member/friend. The scammer had me stay on speaker phone during the transactions.
After I provided the iTunes gift card info over the phone, the IRS scammers provided numerous confirmation codes/#s to appear more legitimate. The scammer also requested the last 4 digits of My social security number and a picture of My I.D.
The scammer told me that one of the payments , from my credit card did not go through, and requested a photo copy. At the time I did not know this was a scammer so I sent the photo of my credit card. My credit card companies have been very helpful and have initiated investigations on my behalf. My Bank , however has informed that they are not able to assist/dispute cash withdrawal transactions.
The scammers goal was to lure me in with a fear tactic/false sense of urgency, have me believe they they were trying to help me to gain my trust, and then empty my accounts.
I questioned the legitimacy of the calls numerous times, hung up on the scammers, even questioned their very American sounding names and foreign accents. The scammers had an explanation/excuse for every concern. This was a lesson learned the hard way.
