Hot on the case: A policeman arrests two on suspicion of tricking American citizens.
MUMBAI: In late September, a woman in National City, California, received a voice message on her phone saying she was in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over "tax evasion or tax fraud".
Panicking, she rang the number and told a man who said he was from the IRS: "I can pay US$500 (RM2,230)," half the sum demanded. "I could do a payment plan. I just can't pay all of it at once."
