Received 2 calls from the same person with Indian accent. Then a third from the same person but he changed his accent. He said he's from the legal department. Scam artist
Received a call today from someone with a strong Indian accent identifying her self as "Jennifer White." She asked for my husband by first and last name and said she was from the "Dept. of Legal Affairs" regarding "IRS taxes." She said for further information about a legal action against my husband he needs to call her manager, "Russel Reed at 213-289-0374." When I questioned the reason that suddenly the IRS contacts people by phone, she had some answer about confidentiality and that she was a paralegal that I would have to speak to Russel Reed for more info. When I asked what year this was regarding & why my name was not referenced since all taxes had been filed jointly for the last 23 years, she had no answer. I tried calling the number she gave me. It rang at least 7 or 8 times and then cut off. I dialed again and got the same ringing & ringing, no answer. It is so very clearly a scam but I cannot figure out what they are getting at since they did not even answer the phone.
got the same call from indian or maybe chinese accent calling herself Jenifer White (asian name?) and I was to call Russel Reed. Called and he said he was internal affairs of the treausary dept (tip off right away- internal affairs Treasuary if it did exsist would handle INTERNAL treasuary dept business) also asian accent and very american name. He then said leagal action would be taken from the IRS and asked how I would like to handle this. I asked how much was involved he said $7000 and he could help me. Then he said he would call the local sheriff dept and have me arrested. I gave him phone and name of attorney and told him my attorney handles all my affairs. I called back and asked for Mr. Reed now he said his name was Ridge. Same guy. Wow these jerks are just too obvious. I asked for his badge number and he gave it as 11908 Now he just dug another hole for himself impersonating and officer of the law. Hope they catch these people and put them behind bars for a long time.
