These scammers have been calling me a couple of time a day for a couple of days. When I answered a couple of days ago, he identified himself as being from the IRS. I immediately asked him to remove me from this list; he said "f^@k me" and I hung up. Today he called and asked for Heater and identified himself as from the IRS Department. I again, politely asked him to remove me from their call list and he asked why. I said that I wasn't interested in whatever they were calling me about and he said he wanted to "f^@k me".
why does the top person MARLENE that posted her comment say SUSPECT across her comment> I have never seen that before, but as far as this number is concerned I get them calling me daily and I am on the do not call registry why doesn't it work? I know this is a scam because I use to work for the IRS and they do not call and tell you to send in green dot money paks to get money they send you out a letter.
It is painted "Suspect" because there is some doubt as to the honesty of the post. As far as the Do Not Call Registry, It depends on what you are expecting the DNC registry to do for your. If you are expecting it to screen or block calls for you, IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN, but that doesn't mean it don't work. It does exactly what it was created and intended to do. It provides a list, which is purchased and updated monthly, by Legitimate and Registered with the FTC businesses, to limit the number of Sales calls to those on the list. That is all. Just a list. It has some exemptions and does not work for scammers, criminals and all other scofflaws and was never intended as a law enforcement tool. . Scammers, frauds and all other criminals come under the laws of the FCCs, FBI and other government departments.
Everyday - for the past several weeks - we have been getting phone class from this number asking for Fatima. We've asked the man to stop. Yesterday I yelled at him to stop and hung up. A minute later my husband called him. As heI was trying to talk to him, he just started saying: "Blah, blah, blah" Now - today - He called just minutes ago - we didn't answer. He didn't leave a message. We are exploring our options to muzzle this idiot.
I received about 4 calls from 202-621-0444 on 10/7/14. I called it back and they said they were from some grant service. He had to spell it out for me because I thought he kept saying grange service. But I told him I had the wrong number and hung up. I never give out personal information to anyone over the phone. I hope people do not fall for these types of scams. If it's something you are unsure of 9 times out of 10, your gut instinct is correct. Tell them to try to move on to the next person because you are not interested.
I got a phone call from some guy saying that the U.S. government was giving me $8000. . . I think. His accent was so heavy, I made him repeat himself 3 times. I just couldn't understand him, so I definitely did not catch his name. (I'm not being racist, I myself am Asian.) Anyway, I played along for a bit, saying "Ohh. . . I get $8000?!?! That's great!!! Send me a check!!!" He said that the government doesn't do that. I asked why. He went into some long drawn out excuse and then I said that if he won't send me check then I knew it was a scam. He tried to protest while I hung up.
This is a scam people! The government is NOT going to give you free money from out of thin air. Have you seen our national debt? Do you know what the trade deficit is? HAHAHAHA!!!
