The scam tipped me off by having WAY too good of information without asking me for any identification info: iasweve all experienced they suck at having your info at their fingertips
ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- they are also impersonating DEA officials / IRS / FAKE LAW FIRMS etc.... with threats to arrest you unless you immediately send money via wire transfer / western union to some offshore country !!!!! obvious scam !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign call centers / countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers mostly in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / calling on behalf of a humane society..... $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you / give ....just provide your bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams............
received a call from 1-413-987-5527 saying through a recorded message that this was my final notice from the IRS that I needed to call 1-202-793-8675, that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me. I have checked and dozens of people have reported the same message and same phone number. IT IS A SCAM.
I received a call from 413-385-5557 saying it was an official call from the IRS and a final notice that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and had a call back number 202-793-8675. I did not respond. I found this site while researching the phone number. Thanks for the info.
