Getting several complaints about the number and that they are threatening to send the sheriff to arrest them for back taxes if they don't pay $5000. Just go to Western Union, blah, blah, blah.
I received a call just like this from that same number and message 11:51am today. I appreciated the other comments regarding the IRS and have passed it along. I live in a large retirement community and some may find the message unsettling so we will try and get the word out.
I actually called "Mr. Ferguson" back because I wanted to screw around with him and he sure didn't like it ; )
I enjoyed the call.. he of course hung up.
obvious a scam when they caller doesn't even know enough to wait until the answering machine beeps before they start talking. Didn't get a name recorded, just that he would help me get rid of a warrant.
