Got a call saying I owed the IRS and there was a pending lawsuit against me. I knew immediately it was false as the IRS does not call you, they send you letters! I called the number and asked for his ID# and got a short 86345. I knew right away that it was a false ID as the IRS numbers are much longer. He wanted personal information and when I refused and asked for his supervisor he hung up on me. HMMMM! They probably won't call me again, but I worry about all the other people they are scamming.
Dear Jenkintownmom:
Thank you for being a "good kid" and looking out for your Mom. My mother (who is elderly as well) was upset by these foreign criminals. I reassured her that the call was a crock of whale poop. Please spread the word to everyone you know. We Americans have to help and protect each other from this form of telecommunications terrorism. (It is a form of terrorism, you know.)
Please read my posting on this date (Nov. 10, 2014) later in this site.
P.S. I was just in Jenkintown a few days ago. I took a SEPTA bus from my home in Philly. I like Jenkintown almost as much as Philly.
Sincerely,
The Phone Ranger (dedicated to putting a stop to telecommunications scam and fraud)
