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!!!!
This is the fourth time "APU" has called me; this is the fourth different number. I told him "Thank you, and may you sleep upwind from a herd of yaks"...just like the other three times he called...you'd think he'd have learned by now.
Claimed to be Officer Sean Peterson - said there was an illegal complaing against me - mentioned my 'work place' and a victim... could NOT understand his accent - left a different call back number than on my caller ID - also heard background conversation like a "boiler-room" operation... also used the phrase "call me back or else"...
Officer Peterson called me saying the line is being recorded and I am involved in a Federal IRS investigation, as soon as I said I didn't understand what he was saying, he hung up!
Got an answering machine message from this number. A woman with a heavy accent was threatening me about something, but I didn't understand a word she said. This apparently is a foreign scam call. I am very glad I checked it out. I'm an old woman and it scared me.
