My husband and I received a phone call this morning from this number trying to scare us in to paying $25,000 for some bogus thing. First they said there was a warrant for me, then they said there was tax fraud, then they were asking us how we do our taxes either ourselves or CPA, then they were asking about my father in law and did he live with us, then they were talking about people we have never even heard of that have the same last name, then he said there was a warrant for my husband. They couldn't give us a case number or any details of anything they were claiming. DO NOT give them any personal information! They are also extremely rude, not that I expect a scam artist to have great manners but you would think that if they wanted to sound legitimate they would at least sound professional. Hopefully this is helpful for others.
I too got this phone call asking for myself......same type of call as the caller from above.....the man could not speak English well so I kindly ask to speak to someone who could speak better english...he continued to tell me that there was an arrest warrent for me for tax fraud...after giving me a batch number and some other numbers....I told him I have no tax problems my CPA is very well knowen and I can assure him that I have no tax problem. He told me to give him back the batch number and other info he gave me. I told him no I am not giving him any information and he said I have to...I told him I believe this is a scam call and that I am being harassed...he said I told you to write the numbers down and demanded I read them back to him. I told him you just gave me the numbers therefore you have them there...I again asked to speak to someone who could speak better English he became angry and said I will your name in for further legal action. At that point I said ok and I hung up. this is not the first time I receive a call of this nature 2 - 3 months ago I received them also....
