They called me on my cell phone to tell me that i owed the IRS $482.00 and wanted payment today. First a female WITH HEAVY ACCENT left a message.., then when i called the number it rang about 25 times...no answer. Then i called back and a foreign voice said his name was JASON WRIGHT. He tried to to get me to make payment over the phone. i couldn't understand what he was saying, so he then transferred me to his (supervisor MARK WILLIAMS) NOT ONE OF THESES PEOPLE WERE AMERICANS. SAID HE WAS CALLING FROM WASHINGTON D.C.! A criminal investigations was being filed against me for STATE TAXES! Sounded like a call center in the background. Mark then told me my full home address and email but wouldn't give me my SSN #. this was sounding very fishy to me Mark proceeded to give me and 844-244-4492 TO CALL BACK AND MAKE A PAYMENT! YEAH RIGHT!!!!
The lady that I couldn't understand called and left a message stated that the local police should have called me and told me that a legal file matter that was filed against my name to please call them back. I called back got some guy that I couldn't understand and he answered stating he was from a legal state investigation company. I asked why was he calling, he asked for my name. I said you called me and should know my name. He gave me my name and asked if I was worried about this matter. I asked what do you want? He quickly hung up the phone.
I received a message from an Indian lady saying she was officer. Mary Green first of all there is no Indians named Mary Green she left a message saying that there is a federal crime against me with my name and Social Security number and to call her back before further action is taken I called back only to get an Indian man claiming he is working with a federal crime investigation they are full of it!
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.
Just had a message on my answering machine telling me that I had a Federal claim that had been filed against me and that I needed to call back to avoid further action. It was a female voice with a very heavy foreign accent and I couldn't really understand everything she was saying, even though I listened to the message 3 times. The bits and pieces that I understood was kind of scary, she stated that I could be arrested if I didn't call back....well, after reading all these reports from other people, I guess I'll just wait for the cops to come to my door.
I just received a call from these "federal" people. A lady with an indian accent told me I was under federal investigation and to call them back. Im sure the government wouldn't call before coming over. What a joke. Ill sit back and wait.
