Beware of their claims, as there is no valid file number associated with them; it is advisable to report such incidents
Scam callers pose as crime investigators!
Summary — +12022414896
Expert Opinion
Yesterday afternoon I got several reports about calls from +12022414896. The pattern is clear: callers impersonate law‑enforcement or tax agencies, use a generic "Bureau of Crime Investigation" label, and pressure victims to pay alleged debts within minutes. The voice is often accented, the email address is a free service, and the script mentions fake case numbers. Hang up, never share personal data, and report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier. Block the caller ID, and if you receive a threatening voicemail, verify directly with the real agency using official contact info. Stay calm and let the real authorities handle any legitimate issues.
