Left message, said they were from the treasury department and I would be held on tax evasion if I did not contact them immediately. This is an LA number. I work for government. No treasury in LA!
Treasury would not handle tax evasion cases - at least at investigation level. And not on matters of personal income tax. Or most types of business tax matter. That is a big red flag right there! Some scammer wants to scare you.
You would have heard from the IRS. Often. In Detail. The IRS does not come an arrest you or order your arrest.
If Treasury wants you, they will wait politely in line. Unless every part of Bill of Rights has be suspended in the last couple of hours, no Star Chamber has been convicting you behind your back.
Got the same call from the same number and same message. it was a computer talking, but 'seemed' legit. I immediately thought SCAM as well. I'll wait for them to come get me.... not calling back. I would at least have expected them to leave MY name and/or a case number. Nothing other than the scary message.
