"My wife received two phone calls yesterday from a Kevin Miller at the Dept. of Legal Affairs of the US Treasury. He said she had received several letters demanding payment of past due taxes and that the next step was for an IRS agent to show up to arrest her. She told him she would talk to her attorney and accountant. The second call left the supervisor’s name (Shane) and phone number (213-289-3832). I called him when I got home – he gave an IRS employee number 11578 and said Cathy was going to jail for lack of payment. I started asking questions about getting copies of the documentation that supposedly had been sent. I asked for the city where the information had been sent. They hung up. I then spent forty-five minutes on hold with IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and confirmed that there weren't any unpaid taxes at IRS. The IRS employee also gave me the phone number to report the incident as a phishing incident. Please be aware as it could happen to you."
I received the same call from an Adam today stating he was from the Internal Affairs Dept. of the US Treasury. I hung up on him the first time as he had a heavy accent and had wanted me to state MY NAME. After the first call, he left a message threatening me that there was legal action against my person which I knew was false. So I decided to call him back and when I refused to give him my name again asking him who he was looking for he said "go screw yourself" and hung up on me. BIG SCAM fishing for names. Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spread the word.
Voicemail message from "Alan Jones" (hard to tell first name; unknown accent) with "Department of Legal Affairs at US Treasury" today. Claimed calling about "enforcement actions" to be taken and I should call back, or "have my legal representative" call back. No, thank you. I know I have no tax issues.
Well, it seems this fella gets an A for his persistent and consistent approach . He called me twice and I spoke with him once. Unfortunately for him, I googled his number beforehand and I read that it was a scam and being a CPA it is a little tough to blow me out of the water with the Department of Legal Affairs of the US Treasury - no such department exists. I'm still waiting for the IRS agents to pick me up and throw me in jail in six months- Bring it !!.
Just a matter of time before he is smoked out of his rat hole. Good job to all who spread the word on this scam
Yes, same thing, this guy called twice and I spoke with him the second time. Sure enough says he's from the Treasury but he's calling at 6am and says his office is in LA. Indian dude says he is working out of the East Coast, and says to take down this supervisor's name. I jot it down, and ask him again where his office is at and he says it's in California, so I ask for the address and he hangs up. Freaking scammers, burn in hell!
