(202) 888-6013

On July 5, 2019, a person claiming to be an FDIC officer, name: Sam Watson, phone number 202-888-6013, (phone id in Washington, DC) said I had an IRS indictment for 4 counts and that if I didn't appear in Federal Court in Washington, DC, that an arrest warrant would be issued, and that would be in the news, and I could lose my job. I told him couldn't appear in that court, so he went on with further instructions not to contact anyone else or be in violation of the Privacy Act. He said that as an FDIC officer, he could protect my accounts by me purchasing gift cards, give him the card number and access codes, and that all the money would be given back to me when my case was closed. I was so scared that I did comply on many occasions and did not become suspicious until a Target Store manager told me about the gift card scam, and IRS impersonators. This information was exactly what Sam was saying to me. I cut off all contact with Sam on Aug. 4th. I checked the card numbers on the Target website for balance and found each cardwas $0. I am in possession of these cards. Sam tried to contact me again on August 8 at a number 800-908-4490 (phone ID: IRS Trans/ cust Ser) which I immediately blocked. I've contacted the IRS, Federal Trade Commission and have a Complaint File #110-039-4357. I've contacted my Bank of America, Treasury Inspector General, Transunion, and now, FBI. I am about to contact my Chase Bank and Social Security offices. The amount frauded from me was approximately $37,000.
