Caller from Viking, Minnesota (according to my caller ID, not neccessarily so) said my computer was running very slow and he wanted me to be in front of it so he could repair it for me. We are on the Do Not Call list and have an ongoing case with the FCC and FTC so everything was recorded and transmitted to their office. I hope he goes to jail for a long time.
2 minutes ago - I received a call from Minnesota - 218-523-6541 -
They said they were from windows tech support. They said they had my Computer license ID and could tell that my computer was infected with many viruses.
Last Sunday, someone with an Indian accent called from 803-317-2687, said they were from I Yogi (a Indian computer tech support company who takes remote control of my computer to accomplish repairs). They said that I Yogi was closing and they wanted to get me to open my bank account on line, after they had remote control of my machine - After I hung up, I found out that they tried to deduct money from my account. They failed. But they were able to access my bank. I had to change all my numbers and passwords.
I hope you are able to track them down - they are very active.
IRS does not file lawsuits. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job. IRS does not cold call anyone and ask for money. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
