Three phone calls yesterday and when I talked to the alleged David Acosta, Badge ID 953H69C from the IC IRS division today, he also told me I was being prosecuted and charged with tax evasion among other charges. I allegedly owed $3,017.00 to the IRS and one of the conditions to settle this and a last and one time opportunity was an "out of court restitution". This required the payment to be made in cash today to an account and bank that he was going to provide once I had withdrawn the cash and called him back. These scammers are professionals, they have you go to the real IRS and DOJ sites and are very familiar with the menus and prompts and if they are providing real and legit information. It seems too they target individuals who have recently been audited by the IRS and more vulnerable to an IRS scams. Please keep an eye for this number too (800) 829-1040 and report this to www.TIGTA.gov for which there is a link on the IRS site.
Some idiot called twice threatening to take me to court on behalf of the IRS unless I gave them my bank account information. Yeah right. I called him in his scam and he hung up like a total looser. Another idiot called a few minutes later with the same story and the caller ID was from some telemarketing company advertising Bahama cruises. More the reason to dislike telemarketers.
