the number 301-358-0364 is a scam.
I received a threatening call from this number, and it was a computer generated voice that said "this is a second attempt from the IRS criminal investigation office regarding your unpaid tax criminal activity. Call us back immediately to prevent future legal actions such as federal court and grand jury proceeding and jail time". Confirmed with IRS that this is a scam as they send only mailed notices.
so the number 301-358-0364 is a scam.
I got a call last night, and it was a computer generated voice that said "this is a second attempt from the IRS criminal investigation office regarding your unpaid tax criminal activity. Call us back immediately to prevent future legal actions such as federal court and grand jury proceeding and jail time".
So i called the number back and went to answering machine that asked for my name and the last 4 digit of my SSN.
I called IRA and they never made the call. The agent said that if i had unpaid taxes, i would only receive mail notification and IRA never calls or emails people, only mail.
So I am going to file a complain with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
I am guessing that this is another Nigerian or African person(s) who are using a US phone number to scam people by getting their SSN and stealing $.
I got a call from 301-358-0364 also. Some heavy accent African guy on the line tells me that I did not correctly declared my income when i filed my taxes last year. That my income was almost 20k more than what i have said on my taxes.
Ok, i thinking this a scam because, i did not file any taxes for the past few years since, i am a full time student with no income !
But i go along with the call.
Then the guy tell me he needs my full name, address, and last of my 4 SSN and the name of my bank where i have a checking account !!!!!!
I give him all wrong info on purpose.
He tells me that he is now able to pull up my info in the IRS database!!
He only needs one more info from me to resolve the issue and that is the routing number to my checking account since the IRA can use it to deposit or take $ and if i do this, the will give me 20% on taxes that I owe them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i give me a fake routing number.
Now the tone of his voice has changed he is more aggressive, inpatient and tell me that he needs to hang up and since he is getting more call from other people, and he will call me back later today to confirm everything.
Before, he hangs up I ask him to spell Internal Revenue Service and he can't !!!!!!!!!!
I guess to work for IRS, you do not need to know how to spell !!!!!!!!!!!!
The caller identified himself as a member of the IRS and a federal agent looking for my husband. He had a heavy accent. When I refused to give him information he became rude, and said "do you know who you are dealing with ma'am? Do you refuse to give information to a federal agent?" Unreal.
