Very difficult to understand person with Indian accent claiming legal action, warning I might be pulled in front of a magistrate, grand jury, federal court, God (you get the picture) for some totally unintelligible reason. But they want to help me . . . Right. I blocked the number.
Said they were from the US Treasury and that I owed back taxes. When I told them they were full of [***] that I have always filed my taxes and that I have always got a refund never owed anything they hung up on me. Then 15 minutes later they called back with the same message that I had to return their call to avoid further legal action being taken against me. So once again I called and said that if they called me one more time I would report them to the US Treasury and the IRS for illegally portraying themselves as a government official, and they hung up on me again. Then 15 minutes later they did it again, but this time I let it go to voicemail so I had the recording. I am going to investigate and report them.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
