Who called from 2025068859

Alan Cooper supposedly from IRS called 3 times today and threatened me of police arrest tomorrow 12 pm and 9 years in jail as he claims that I had a tax deficiency of $2400.  I could immediately smell a foul play.

Good for you. A local TV station managed to get some info on the people threatening others with the scare. The call appeared to be based out of Toledo, OH but calling back gave no results. The story here:

For me, the message was from "David Ashely" who claimed to be an "IRS revenue officer" and he told me that a claim had been filed against me, and that I needed to call him back with my "criminal defense attorney information" before I was arrested by the county sheriff.  It was a little unnerving, but the guy's extraordinarily strong accent (so bad that I had to listen to the message several times to actually understand him) and the fact that I'm fairly confident that the IRS would have reached out in a more professional manner had there been an actual issue, made it very easy to just ignore this obvious scammer....
