This number called me also and said my computer had a virus on it and that I needed to turn it on so they could tell me how to get it off. I had to tell them I did not have a computer. Yes it is a scam beware!!!
Beware of Possible Phone Scam.. I just got a Call from an Security Agency, They start by saying, You have a warrant for your arrest, for IRS something or another. Not once did they say, This is a Federal Agent or agents name etc. They didn't even give me the name of the agency until I asked. I honestly forget the full name the number was. (214) 884-9686 Caller ID Unknown. I had to ask 4 times for their office address at 1686 Tampa Rd Spokane Valley WA 08677 That is the Address they told me, but that doesn't exist, and the ZIP is wrong, that Area Code is Texas.. They said I owned the IRS a ton of money and I will be arrested tomorrow if I don't pay them $2,304.00 Gave me his name as Mike Johnson, then gave his name as Justin Ott Said I asked for My Address that he had on the warrant. The Address is Wrong an Old Address. He said I need to Contact William Tiller at my old address. (Yet he didn't have a phone number.) I don't know of any Lawyer that doesn't have a phone number or Address? They couldn't tell me the Address of my Courthouse. However I'm not a lawyer but wouldn't this be a FEDERAL Warrant Issued to me for my arrest VS a Local Warrant? He said the Sheriff would arrest me? Wouldn't it be a Federal Officer Arresting me for a Federal Crime? (Again I'm not a expert in Law) I asked him if he feels good stealing from people? He got really angry and starting saying you are going to jail.. How happy are you going to be behind bars.. He said something like God bless you, and then he was about to hang up and I said wait? You mention God, Does God like it when People try to steal Money from people? He said, Yes, and You will be good behind bars.. (Again Getting Very frustrated with me.) I called back and there was no Menu a person answered. said Hello, (They did not answer with this is Security Agency) I asked what this place is and they said What is my Name? I said why do I have to say my name to find out what the name of this place is? Anyway They were very convincing.. Hopefully I'm not going to be in jail tomorrow morning.. :)
When I called it back it said magic jack customer is unavail ... I didnt answer the call tho .. maybe next time I will since I have friends in all the local law enforcement offices lol
