Adam Jones

Received two VMs (4/19 & 4/21) from a man w/a very thick Indian accent, both of which I had great difficulty understanding. I returned the call on the supplied/Caller ID'd number (213) 375-0946 (Los Angeles) where "Adam Jones" (The same voice who left the messages) answered. I asked what this was regarding, who he was, why hadn't a letter been sent to me, etc. He said he was with the Dept of Legal Affairs, and eventually after me persistently asking, was told he was an officer w/the Dept of The Treasury. He stated a complaint had been filed against me and that a police officer would arrive to arrest me if I didn't cooperate. He then asked the name/# of my lawyer - and suggested I get a criminal attorney. He said I was going to go to jail. I told him to do what he's gotta do. I will mention, he became very perturbed as I asked more questions, and especially so when I suggested this may be a scam. Tips that this is all complete BS; First VM was on a Sat. He referred to me as "Mike" (I've always used my legal name 'Michael' on any legal/business/official documentation) - unprofessional. He had an old address of mine on file though the IRS has had my current address since I moved two yrs ago. He wouldn't provide me with a ref number or any pertinent information other than that there were problems w/my 2008 taxes. I'm not a racist; His name was supposedly "Adam Jones" - really, with such a heavy Indian Accent? ..Sure sounded fake to me. From complaints I've read on other sites, Indian men w/names like "Paul Smith", "John Richards", "David Allen", etc are calling and pretty much saying the exact same thing. I was worried for a min because '08 was the yr my father passed and I took care of his affairs after, but all taxes were filed then, all matters closed. Thanks to sites like this, and discovering others have complained, I'm not worried. "Have a blessed day.", as "Adam Jones" said at the end of both messages ;)

They said that i had legal actions against me and when i questioned who they were he got bothered and said he would take me to court.
i told him, how can you take me to court, when i have not been served with whatever it is that is wrong, the IRS and US Govt. does not randomly call you and start asking you questions, they mail you the issue if any.
