Received a call this A.M. from a lady who identified herself as Niki or Nicki Johnson with IRS. She did not identify the recipient of the call. The number she left was for a return call is 213 426-1855.
This number was utilized to fraudulently obtain money claiming to be the IRS.
Remember these criminals use scare tactics to get people to wire funds, take out cash and put on reload cards or obtain credit card information. No government agency will work in this manner. Call 911 or your local police to confirm or check out the web before you send any money. Make sure you file complaints with FCC, local political office and of course online (like 800notes) to get the word out.
I got this call this morning. It's said his name was Kevin Cho, with an Indian accent and the call was "for the recipient"...no specific name that loved in the house. And it was for a 1040 tax audit. So I got curious and goggled the number. Thanks for letting me know it's a scam. I was curious and went on instinct it was phony.
Just got this call on my voice mail and new immediately it was a scam. They called and didn't say a name for who they are looking for to call them back fishing for personal information ain't going to work on me.
Someone by the alias named Paul Mason, with a heavy Indian/Asian accent, claiming to be a US federal tax attorney, has a subpoena and claming to be from the US IRS Audit Division calling regarding fraudulent taxes and money laundering. He also named a parallegal officer who also contacts people. It sounds like a call center since there are other phones ringing and people speaking to other people. They are calling and leaving messages that you have felony charges like money laundering, tax evasion, and other federal crimes related to money.
