Why would anyone call me and tell me that if I don't call back, the law enforcement will be right in my doorstep. Who are this people? Are they scammers calling and intimidating innocent people, such as myself. I have never ever been in trouble with the law.
This was recently on ABC News. These are scammers trying to scare money out of innocent people. Just hang up on them. The IRS doesn't operate like that. The IRS, if needed, will contact you by mail in official mailing. And, please, NEVER give out ANY information over the phone....especially if they called you. The IRS will never ask for your social security number, bank information or any other personal information over the phone. I hope this helps. Perhaps you can look up the story on ABC's web site.
this call is disturbing! "Stop what you're doing and call immediately or law enforcement will be at your door"... For what? This should be illegal! I'm searching further to see who this is...
This is a criminal extortion scam operating out of India. They are making the calls utilizing VOIP and the names of legitimate firms to make it appear the calls are originating from within the US. There is NO "company" or "debt" and you will NOT be arrested. They are harvesting and/or buying consumers' personal identifying information and you need to do whatever you can to protect yourself. This includes: Notifying the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/, placing fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus, notifying your bank and employer and letting these criminals know you are aware they are attempting to extort money for a non-existent debt and have alerted the authorities.
