Received recorded call this afternoon from 571-526-0025 stating that I have been accused of tax fraud and that unless I call them back I will be arrested and sent to jail. Don't these Indians know anything about the Due Process clause, or courts or judges? They are obviously making money from this scam, otherwise they wouldn't do it, so they spew millions of these messages in the hope that one half of one percent of the population are fearful enough or ignorant enough to fall for it. Parasites!
Got a call from 571-526-0025 representing that they had information about a tax evasion, tax fraud case and they I had to call them back immediately or risk incarceration....at which point I hung up.
I put blacklist on my phone and enter nearly every number with an out of State area code to be blocked. It's an ap for android or apple. There are plenty of block aps like it. I still get scam calls, but at least not the same ones twice!
A co-worker going through a really rough patch in life just called me in a panic that he was going to be arrested. He got a call from the "IRS" with a badge number and everything, saying police were waiting at his home and place of work to arrest him. He gave me the number 571-526-0025, I looked it up, and was able to assure him it was not real (not to mention that's not the way the IRS does business). Scum!
Mark Smith called me from that number with the threat of a warrant for IRS fraud, etc. Told them to come on over. Knew it was a scam. When they didn't show up, I called that guy back and asked where they were. Then, I called him over and over and over (~30 times) until he admitted to me that it was a scam. We had a very direct conversation in which I suggested he get a produtive job and be more than a common criminal. Told him I would leave him alone but if I ever heard from him or his company again, I was on him.
