This number called my phone saying I owe back taxes from 2008-2015 and a law suit is being filed against me. He asked for my SSN and Credit Card number and said I owe over $5000 and a warrant is being issued for my arrest. He said he knows where I work and will send the police right over here.
Foreign guy said his name was Alex Cooper IRS Badge # 36980
I have received several calls like this in the past several years. Since I was waiting on a friend to pick me up to go golfing, I decided to pass the time of day with them. I told them my name was John Hoover, when asked for my SS# I asked to make sure they had the right John Hoover. When they finally agreed to make sure it was me I told them my middle name was Edgar. After toying with them for a few minutes and they threatening to have the marshall pick me up and throw me in jail, my friend pulled in the drive. At that time I said the police have just pulled in my drive and do I want the detective talk to them. They hung up.
Just call them back a few times because as much as they get under my skin I get under theirs too. Don't believe their call this is a scam. The irs would never call someone to collect a debt they send a certified letter signature required
