These guys have been calling me incessantly. After speaking at length with the first young man, he finally broke down and told me that it was a scam! I encouraged him to go to school. He said that he had already been to school and had graduated but couldn't find any other job. I told him that it was obvious that he was not happy doing that kind of work because he would have moved on to the next victim by then. I told him that if he found a job helping people rather than victimizing them, that he would feel better about himself and his family would be proud of him. He said that he knew I was right but he had to continue there until he could find something better. Waste of time though, of course, as the calls continue. The next call was from a woman who told me that she needed to speak with my husband about his pending arrest. I told her that thanks to the previous call, we had been alerted and my husband was already in jail. I told her how much I appreciated her kindness in informing us of the looming arrest and since I had to give all my money to the police, I had nothing left to give to her. She immediately hung up. Now I'm just getting non-stop voice mails from "Officer James Anderson".
I got a call early this a.m. from 571-290-2027 from a Jennifer Smith who said she needed to talk to my husband about a case investigating him for tax evasion! I didn't go for it and she got very angry with me. She would not say where in Virginia her "office" was, would not give me any kind of ID number, etc. I called the IRS 1800 number for Virginia and they told me right away that the phone number was already listed on the "SCAM" roster. So I've called the number about 85 times and every time a person answers, saying "IRS and giving a name", I write it down. I just wonder, if I had believed the call was legit, what were they trying to get from us?
Also received the same call from an officer Anderson stating the same above scenario. I attempted to call back several more times after being hung up on after telling this man I've reported them to the irs and was hung up on every time. Total scam. Thank you all for posting
Just received a call as well from "Officer" James Anderson. Funny, the IRS has never heard of him, imagine that. Sad to think that there may very well be people that are taken in by this scam. Called "Officer Anderson" back from a non-disclosed phone and let him know that his information had been forwarded to local law enforcement AND that his message had been recorded, of which a copy was provided to the IRS. To say that "Officer" Anderson was displeased, is an understatement.
Same as above....these [***] are committing a felony and the FTC does nothing about it. Our government would rather make war on mid-easterners than protect it's own citizens from fraud....there's more profit in making war.
4 calls now from this scammer!! People do not give them any information or engage them in conversation, simply hang up on them as soon as they call or let it go to voicemail then report the phone # to your states attorney general (not that it will do any good) it is a total scam!!
