Fraud Alert: Scammers Posing as IRS!!! Follow this email's guide to protect yourself!!   CAIR Florida has received two complaints in the last week from members of the Muslim community that have been victim to FRAUD attempts. Please read the below email carefully and spread to everyone on your email list please. These individuals targeting our community and are professionals.   What is going on?   Members of our community are receiving phone calls from people claiming to be Federal Agents that work for the IRS/FBI. These fraudsters are claiming that your taxes were filled incorrectly and the IRS has issued an arrest warrant for you. They offer an immediate settlement option to avoid arrest. They say the IRS is willing to settle the 25,000 fine, arrest and penalties for 3,200.00. They will instruct you to go purchase a money order and send it to a PO Box. Warning, these fraudsters know personal information and are very convincing. They have fooled Certified Public Accountants into believing they are in fact Federal Agents.    Who are they? We don't know exactly, they are claiming to be Federal IRS and FBI agents. What we do know is they are not any form of Law Enforcement, and a professional fraud company targeting Muslims and possibly other immigrants for money. Here is the information we know so far. Names Given-  James Morgan, Carl Cooper Phone Number given - (202) 540-9331   Why are they doing this? To steal money         Where are they calling from? We don't know exactly, the 202-540-9331 number they call from is most likely a false number created by a computer program and sent to your phone when they call. They even made it appear that a Local Police Department called with a warrant for arrest if they didn't pay.     When did this happen? We have received two complaints in the last week. Its happening now !!!   How are they getting your personal Information? We don't know.   What should you do? 1. Spread this email to everyone on your contact list.   2. If someone calls and attempts to use this scam Hang Up, They will most likely call back, just keep Hanging Up, contact your local FBI office or report it to Crime Stoppers in your area. FBI would be the better agency since these fraudsters are claiming to be Federal Agents.    FBI Miami 16320 NW 2nd Avenue North Miami Beach, FL 33169-6508 Phone: (305) 944-9101 Fax: (305) 787-6538 E-mail: Miami@ic.fbi.gov Crime Stoppers  954- 493- 8477 FBI Tampa 5525 West Gray Street Tampa, FL 33609 Phone: (813) 253-1000 E-mail: tampa.division@ic.fbi.gov       3.
