Got the exact same call this afternoon. Indian accent, only answered "hello" when I called back, said $4000 then slipped later and said $5000. He asked for bank account numbers and I hung up. Complete tax return scam.
I had the same call to my cell phone from the same number it was bs i told the [***] i turned him in to the feds and he asked why i told him he was trying to scam the funny thing he had all my numbers already and i was like how do you know everything and he said its in the database so i turned him into the feds for fraud. and now i had to turn my social security in for an alert and my bank i hope he dont mess with my tax returns.
Just got a call from this number; same man with the foreign accent stating that I was going to receive $3600.00 for paying my taxes on time. Told the man that I've never had to pay taxes (single mother of two) as I always get a refund. I told him I'd have to verify and do a little research and less than five minutes later he called back very eager to know if I "called the number back". I told him I was doing some research and he honestly sounded upset that I was not taking his word. Insisted on telling me that "This is the U.S. Government, they aren't out to hurt you, just to help you". Uh... NO
I got a call from this number today. The first 2 times that they called I let it go to voice mail. When they called a 3rd time i answered it thinking it was a call from Iraq where my friend is. When I answered the phone he told me that I was going to be getting money from a Goverment grant. I hung up on him.
