I got a phone call from this number saying that i was approved for a government grant of $15,000. I just had to make a $99 donation through western union to a man named Hanish Gupta over in India. It was going to fund children who have lost their parents. Once i did that i would be given my Grant money. I feel so stupid for doing it but, i did and once I transferred the money they told me that my grant would be wired to my account but i need to pay $299 as a wiring fee that the bank charges. I then new it was a fraud and hung up to try and cancel my transaction through western union but the money had already been picked up.... I am filing a police report and trying to get my money back. I should have typed the number into google before paying anything... this sucks!
I got a call from lady with a thick Indian accent saying I was being sued by the IRS for tax invasion and that I need a lawyer. Then started reading me all my charges saying all my assets were going to be seized and my bank accounts. I am pregnant and don't need this [***]. Someone please stop her! The only reason I know this is fraud because of this website. The actually IRS is no help. I couldn't get ahold of any one there to help me find out anything. I believed this women, good thing we got disconnected!
Got a call from this number claiming to be the IRS; called their bluff and told them they were full of [***]. They hung up. I called the number back; they answered with "Sr. Officer Lopez of the IRS." Told her I didn't think this was legitimate; retort, "I don't have time for this" and hung up. Wow! Bagged again.
Got several calls from this number saying I was being investigated for tax fraud. When I asked for more information they got pissed at me and hung up. I called them back and told them I know tax law and that this was bull****, and not to call me again.
