Spanish speaking man states that his name was Officer Alex Watson from th e treasury dept was calling from 202 795 1580 in ref to a criminal case against me from the federal government Treasury Department to pay $160.000.00 or have my legal rep contact them
Got a similar call. The accent was so thick I could hardly understand, although I thought he sounded more middle eastern. I made out a few words, criminal charges, a phone number to call back and I better call or good luck to me. Didn't even say who they were calling. Sick of all these ridiculous calls. If it were a legitamit complaint you would have got something in the mail.
I responded, but they tried to tell me that whoever completed my tax return for 2013 made a miscaluculation and that I owed $3,540.00. Funny thing is I just mailed my 2013 tax return on yesterday so there is no way they have this information. Plus I gave them a phony name

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
