I received the call from 216-539-4534 Cleveland, OH. Their scare tactic of going to jail and property being seized was read by an Indian speaking individual so I can make payment right away for the issue to settle. I'm an individual that I have never been in trouble with the law and I don't owe a penny to no one, so needless to say they picked the wrong guy. They wanted $3970 to settle and I was passed to speak to the "senior" IRS agents so I can make the payment right away. That's despicable
Got a call from that phone identified as an "unknown name."
Man's voice told me that I have to urgently call IRS that is going
to arrest my properties and bank account.
Definitely this is a call from swindlers.
Avoid!
I got a all from this number a few minutes ago with the following message:
" Internal Revenue Services.. "
"...the very second you received this message from IRS
we need you to contact us on IRS hotline (216)539-4534
..I repeat (216)539-4534..the issue is very time-sensitive and
and your address is under state investigation
So the IRS does'nt seize your property and bank accounts..."
I immediately gave them a call and a man answered but i could barely hear him. I told him that the line is breaking up and he needs to speak louder and slower , he shouted at me and all i understood was " give me the information ...! ".
It's a scam. The guy insisted that I would get arrested, mind you he didn't call asking for me he called asking for someone else. I want to report them.
I got a call from this number saying that I need to call them and that my house address is under investigation. The message was recorded and he was very authoritative. I remember reading that the IRS will only contact you via U.S. Mail. I went to www.irs.gov and they have really useful information about scams.
