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.
Rec'd same call 3X from almost unintelligible "Anthony Cooper" ... Legal Dept of US Treasury .. legal action.... etc. He couldn't answer any of my questions and eventually hung up. big time scam!
When I returned the call to this number and told them to stop harassing me the guy in broken English told me I was harassing him and called me an idiot. He then "blocked" my number. Win win.
I received a call from 213-401-2830 telling me I have a warrant for tax evasion. It was a nasty tempered Indian man and he wanted my personal info. I refused and he told me federal officers were coming to my house in 45 min to arrest me. WTF I pay my taxes what a crazy call.
Got a message on my answering machine (actually half a message since he wasn't bright enough to wait until my message stopped playing). Blah blah, legal action, blah blah blah do not ignore this call, blah blah blah, help us to help you. If he calls back again, I'm going to tell him to hold on a second so I can get my phone set up to record our important conversation. Too bad these a$$%)&^% don't use their powers for good instead of evil.
Received a robocall telling me to call 213-401-2830 to avoid legal action that will be taken against me by the Treasury Dept. The tip-off on this is the robocall starts with "This call is meant to reach you." Never addressed anyone in the household. Unfortunately, there are enough completely stupid people out there who will believe these jerkoffs and will actually send them money. Don't you think if the IRS is dinging you for missed taxes that they'd send you a LETTER?
