just got the same call but I played along for a minute. I asked the caller does he know what today is, and he said Tues. Nov. 11.
And then I asked if this had any meaning to him. There was a pause and he said no. I then told him he should because TODAY IS VETERAN"S DAY YOU SCAMMER!! AND ALL FEDERAL OFFICES ARE CLOSED!! I then hung up.
I called the IRS regarding this SCAM phone call and was told they DO NOT conduct business such as this over the phone and to make a formal complaint to call the Treasury Inspector General @ 800-366-4484 or go to WWW.TIGTA.Gov and file a complaint through that website.
Thank you for posting the website to make a compliant. I had this scam pulled on me this morning and have reported it. I had never had a call like this before and was extremely upset. I can only imagine what an elderly person would be going through had they received a call like this. I wish some legal recourse could be done to these people, but since they are not in the US, I doubt it.
