Despite the fact that most couples file jointly, these Indian and Pakistani scammers are attempting to scam the wives. I don't know how they can expect to succeed since the liability is joint and you'd expect the wives to tell the husbands and the scam to unravel fast.
Called on the house phone, made up a story about being from Department of Treasury. Had my wife in tears saying she owed money in back taxes and that there would be a warrant out for her arrest if she did not wire money to him tonight from a convenience store. Never wire money to someone you don't know, and do not trust this number.

Called on my home phone, left a message threatening me with arrest if I didn't call or have my attorney call. I called just to see if it was anything, although I already knew it would be a scam. Man with Indian accent answered as Dept of Treasury, I told him I received a call, he asked if it came from the phone I was calling on. He said let me find your account. I told him I thought it was a scam, and he hung up on me. I called again, call was answered but just background noise. Called again, asked for supervisor. LOL He covered the phone in a panic asking someone else what he should do. He came back and said supervisor is not here, will call you back within half an hour. I said, no he won't because this is a scam. He got mad and said yes he will! I said, I'm reporting you to the police. He said "FU** YOU!" and hung up. DO NOT TRUST THIS NUMBER!
Called and left message at 2:38PM. Used my name in the message and stated either I or my attorney needed to call them back or they would have to 'wish me luck'. Not only am I current in all bills I am well versed in FDCPA laws and this message wasn't even close to legitimate....nice try.
Didn't ID themselves past 'Kathy' and caller ID just shows as 'Stockton, CA'.
CALLED TWO MORNINGS IN A ROW. HUNG UP WHEN I ASKED NAME OF THE COMPANY. I CALLED THEM, ID themselves as dept of treasury! Stated I was w RI STATE DPT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THE INDIAN ACCENTED "agent" quickly stated thank you for calling and hung up on me. Scam. I seriously abhore these calls
