INCIDENT: Scam Calls
DATE / TIME: 08/02/2016
DETAILS: Numerous calls have been reported about persons with foreign accents advising they are from the IRS Collections demanding payment via Green Dot or similar type cards. The IRS does not make telephone calls to collect payment. The best recommendation is to ignore the calls. It seems that the no-call list has little or no effect and answering machines are being filled up with the calls.
In one reported case, the caller became hostile and told the resident that he was going to bomb his residence and kill everyone there. The call was made from a NY number which no one answers at this time.
Calls are also being received that the scammer is in need of money to bail out a relative or to pay a lawyer. Again these calls are a scam and have been successful several times in this county. In most cases the victim is elderly and believes they are helping a grandchild. It’s suggested that elderly members of you family be asked to call a responsible relative before sending money or sharing additional information.
A new version of telephone scams is being reported by the Maryland State Police are warning the public about a telephone scam in which the caller represents himself as a barrack commander and threatens the victim with arrest if money owed is not immediately forwarded.
A victim in her 70’s from Allegany County called the Maryland State Police Rockville Barrack last evening and reported she had received multiple calls from a man with a ‘heavy foreign’ accent. He told her she owed $800 and would be arrested if she did not quickly forward him the money. Fortunately, the woman said she hung up on the suspect each time.
The woman said when the suspect called her, the caller ID on her phone showed the number 301-424-2101, which is the publicly listed phone number for the Maryland State Police Rockville Barrack. The woman reported the suspect identified himself as Lt. Dan Pickett, who is the commander of the Rockville Barrack.
Citizens are reminded that the Maryland State Police does not collect fines for traffic or criminal offenses. All fines are collected by Maryland’s court system (www.courts.state.md.us).
No one in the Maryland State Police would place a call to someone and threaten arrest if a fine was not forwarded immediately to the State Police.
The Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division is investigating this case of fraud and telephone misuse. Anyone who may have received similar calls from someone saying they are from the Maryland State Police is asked to contact Sergeant Heath at 410-761-5130, or by email at msp.centralsouth@maryland.gov. The State Police Criminal Enforcement Division
Tips Line is 888-210-1450. Callers may remain anonymous.
