,I have received two telephone messages from a woman with a heavy accent stating I was going to be in serious trouble with the IRS if I would not pay X amount in 2 days. I am scared now...
I have been receiving this same call. Heavy Indian accent male who claims to be Micheal White (yeah, right, any kin to Peggy??). I knew it was a scam when he used my nickname which, obviously, I would have never filed taxes under. I get multiple calls in a row and if I answer, no one is on the other end but if I let it go to voice mail, he leaves a message. Any way to get this [***] caught? Especially when he's being so abusive.
I got a call from this number. I tried to call the number. A recorded message said the mailbox was full. I called my local IRS to ask about it. The lady at the REAL United States Internal Revenue Service told me it's a scam and to ignore it. The IRS doesn't call. They send out formal notices.
Received a call from this number TWICE so far today - once at 8:49am, and the second time 3:09pm. I pushed both calls to voicemail, and as the others have said, received the same automated message. When I tried to call the number back from my work land line, it rings, then gives the "busy" signal. Clearly, from others experience, it's a scam. I added them to my "blocked caller" list so they won't be able to bother me again.
My question is - what other states are these calls going to besides Oregon?
We've gotten this call multiple times this week here in Washington. I looked the number up online and saw these posts. Knew it had to be a scam since IRS never calls but uses the postal service. Good to see that others are catching it too but I'm sure many have been taken advantage of.
