“ I also knew this was a scam. I told him that if it was the us government, then they could just send me a check to the address that I had on file on my last tax return. He told me I would have to speak with a manager and gave me this phone number to call back on. I just wanted to number for research reasons. As much as $9,700 sounds nice, you know it's completely a scam. Especially since the IRS is only allowed to communicate with you through mail until you call them. ”

“ Scammers!!! With all these complaints about this number you'd think more would be done from the local PD there in Des Moines, WA. It's funny because when you call the number back, they answer "IRS, How can I help you?"... Horrible!!!! ”

“ I just received a call from "Officer Jack Gates" from the IRS....sounded Indian, said legal action would happen if I didn't return call. ”

“ I,too received a message stating that he is Officer Jack Gates from IRS and if I don't return his call then they'll take legal actions. ”

“ Thanks for the head's up everyone.. Even though I knew it was a scam unfortunately, their are people out there that fall for it.. The date is Friday June 17, 2016 and I just got that call from Mr Sam Walter using the same script he used on everyone else.. But see I am a little smarter than this person calling with a Seattle area code.. Has anyone ever watched Prison Break? Mr. Scofield was always ahead of the game and everything that happened was all part of his elaborate schemes.. Eventually, everyone did exactly what he knew they would do.. My point is, fight fire with fire and see what happens.. Sounds stupid but watch this! Stay tuned lol time to have some fun.... ”

“ The man left a message stating he was from the IRS and I need to call him immediately Or legal action will take place. ”

“ I received a call stating he was a detective and if I don't return his call they will take legal action ”

“ I just got a call from this number also and they used the name Sam Walter and that i had to go purchase a registration card( pretty much a prepaid card) and pay $250 for that, and then they will tell me what to put on the Western Union paper and within min i will recieve 9700.00 US dollars + the 250 i spent on registration card, i told them off and he told me to go f*** myself, and hung up had a girl arab call me to try. I told them i contacted the police and they are tracking them and good luck on the scam he got scared started to studder and hung up and havent heard from then since.\r\nDO NOT BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT ”

“ Max Johnson is clearly trying to scam me into buying an iTunes gift card of $250... As soon as he told me I needed to go purchase one and head to my nearest Walmart to recieve the grant funds I knew he was lying to me. Do not fall for this bs. Also I am very uncomfortable because I don't know where he got my name and address. Sketchy... ”

“ Scam!! Max Johnson he will stay on the line for as long as it takes.. I payed $250 with promis of $9950.00..\r\n he got my money then said state called him and they need tax. He was willing to pay $500 of the $999.00 and stay on the line as long as it takes. Asked manager of store and the man on the phone got irate! Stay away!! ”

“ This number calls me a lot. I just screw with them until they hang up. Have fun with it, just don't give them any personal info. ”
