Claims I am responsible for a high end debt, but if I call I can avoid legal fees. Said his name is Officer Patrick Cooper with the Internal Revenue Service. Very foreign accent. Has called 3x's today alone, hangs up if I answer.
It's a scam. I got the same call this morning from Officer Patrick Cooper. Said I have a lawsuit against me and that he is from the IRS. When I told him the IRS doesn't make phone calls and I think this is a scam he hung up on me. I feel sorry for people who fall for this stuff.
Kept getting calls from this number. It showed up as coming from Washington D.C. Never left a voicemail. Finally I decided to answer. It was a guy with a thick Indian accent named "Mr. Cooper" informing me that I owed money to the IRS. I had heard about these scams before and I'm a lawyer so I know how government agencies collect debts. If you do owe back taxes, they'll send you notices through certified mail before having an Indian guy gives you a call. Knowing the IRS never uses telephone collection practices and that this was a scam, I decided to screw with him. He told me that I was going to "go to the court house" because of my debt. I asked what court house I needed to go to, as well as my case number, so I could reach a settlement agreement and drop off a certified check, but he couldn't answer my question. I kept asking over and over again, but eventually he just hung up. It will be interesting to see if he calls back. I'm almost looking forward to it at this point. Great entertainment for a dinner party!
