Received a call from "Unknown" on my cell. I never answer those calls. Figure if it is someone who really wants to speak with me, they will leave a message and I will call back. I then received a voice mail alert. So I listened...same as above. Agent with the IRS stating that they have been trying to reach me and I am being sued by the IRS and to call them back at 209-690-7166 immediately. I really want to call back just to play along. They wasted my time...would love to waste theirs. Or blow a whistle really loudly into the phone.
To report the scammers, a real IRS agent suggested going to: www.treasury.gov/pigta
Very negative call! I typically am strong, but was initially taken in by these scammer. The scammer was brutal, said he was an IRS officer, that if I didn't pay them $x NOW, that they would arrest me, empty out my bank account, etc. When I asked if I had the right to talk to an attorney a few minutes into the conversation, he said NO. That's when I began to realize it was a scam, that the phone number was not an IRS one. Have since spoken to the real IRS, who said that these scammers are brutal, that some people are crying when they call them, that some people actually gave out critical info to the scammers. If you did, call the IRS about what to do.
Got a phone call today from 1-213-141-5163 they left a message stating it was the IRS and that it's an immediate that we call them back or they were going to sue. Called them back twice it rings and it hangs up definitely scam ! The number they tell you to call back is 209-690-7166. Different from the number they called from
Same message, although caller ID said call was from 702-5467288, similarly associated with multiple types of scams and robocalls. I reported to IRS. They seem to be very active again, judging from above.
