My client received a call from (202) 241-2295 saying that she or her attorney had to call or else something bad would happen. I'm her attorney. I called. The voice message system said "Revenue Service - wait to be connected" - then it said the voicemail was full. I'm comfortable this is a scam. Very aggressive. Will report it to the New York Attorney General's office consumer protection folks.
These people are relentless and do not like it when you call them on their scam. I received my 1st call yesterday from 202-241-2295 which they made all the above threats and said that my attorney had to call Phillip Dawson or it would end very badly for me. When I told him to stick Phillip Dawson's private parts up his, he went into a rant about how he was going to get this f--- b----. I called back and asked for the above person told them I worked for the District Attorneys office which I do and they went into a 2nd rant, hung up on me and then the next call I received, the caller ID actually showed up as the San Diego CA District Attorney's Office phone number. I am with another county within CA. I blocked the numbers and now they are calling me two days in a row today from 775-410-9097 and I just laughed which then threw this person into another rant.......
First off, the IRS does NOT call people, they send thier information via mail for all initial contacts. I have since filed a complaint with several law enforcement agencies including the San Diego District Attorneys Office, because this adds more severity to these idiots actions by using a law enforcements telephone number for fraudulent purposes.......
PS I called my attorney and my CPA.....they said scam and hang up on them....
