Thank you everyone for posting! My aunt recieved this call on her answering machine and was terrified so she called me to find out what was going on. When i heard the voice message it was a HEAVY indian accent he left 3 messages saying we were under investigation the first message we didnt understand half of what he was saying and then the second message he claimed his name was John Smith! really?! I called the number and it sent me to another persons voicemail also Indian accent I dont recall the name on the answering machine but it wasnt John Smiths name.
It angers me that this is happening to elder people of other ethnicities who dont speak a lot of english and could possibly fall victims. I hope they catch these people soon!
Dated 06/12/2014. Received call from a so called I.R.S. Agent. Stated he needed to talk to me right away because there was a very bad problem with my tax return. Funny I paid the gov't this year so I know the gov't is happy with me. His name was Mr. Martin. Tel # was 212-506-8435. FYI that is a
manattan ny area code. Probably a mask tel # for a foreign or Long Distance number. Called the Brooklyn NY D.A.s office and registered complaint with I.R.S. And FTC. You all need to do that to make it "Official" . No one can return money etc but at least you can prove you were targeted and showing due diligence as concerns any repercussions arising from the scam....WOW people have no idea how many and at what level these scams are. Take a hint from an old Marine. When it comes to your finances and personal info say absolutely nothing to anyone. Even family and friends because they talk without being aware who is listening and they are sending everything all over cyber Space. Keep it private.
