I got a call from 202-751-2543 about owing the IRS money and that I would be getting picked up at work by the county sheriff for tax evasion. When I got mad the man hung up on me.
I received a call today from 202 751-2543. The woman had a thick accent (Nigerian?) & said her name was Vivian Sanders. She said she was from the audit department of the IRS & that there was a legal petition, against my name, regarding tax evasion. She said the sheriff's department would arrest me if I did not answer to the petition. I kind of thought it was funny. My caller i.d. indicated the call was from a "private number" which was my first clue that this was not a call from the US Gov't.
I got a call to my home # by same exact person Vivian Sanders. Same message. Wow, disturbing. I worry for the elderly who can't or do not know how to check #'s online to know its a fraud.
