Man with thick accent kept anting and claiming a criminal action has been filed against me. Said my name & 2012-2013 were not filed correctly leading to criminal action. Threatened that something would happen "if you hang up," but I couldn't hear him. Bad reception. Also demanded to know who does my taxes and he asked, "HR Block?" Continued to repeat as I suppose its the most popular tax company in America?!?Thick accent totally ranting. I asked for it in writing. The more I made this request, the more belligerent he became. I hung up. Called number back and a lady answered. Believe she said "IRS." I did not expect a human to answer so I hung up. Weird and scary!
I got a voice mail that said:
"This is officer Alex Watson calling from the Legal Department off Internal Revenue Service. This is in reference to a criminal lawsuit file again see you. Your case number is CH94436. The moment you receive this message I need you or your retained attorney off records to return the call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My phone number is 315-567-4410. Do not disregard this message and do return the call now. If you don't return the call and I don't deal from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as the situation unfolds on you."
They are using this Officer/ Inspector Alex Watson name in many calls and scenarios.
I just received a call saying the same thing! Last week I got a call from a number in DC with a different voice but said basically the same thing. I called back and the foreign woman was accusing me of not filing my taxes correctly and that there were numerous letters sent to me about it. When I told her that I hadn't received any mail like that she became irate and said she was going to have the police come get me.
It's all a scam. Although it would be nice to know why such a scam is necessary, it's best to just disregard it.
That's funny Steve.
Your case # is the same one they gave to me. LOL
This is the second or third call I got from them---"private number".
I can't believe they still keep trying to scam people.
IDIOTS
I just got the same call from a new york number and said the samething. Then he stated my address saying they will have someone at house to take me to jail. The address was very old.
I have received several calls from this number asking to speak with my college-aged grandson. Initially, the calls were to tell him he was chosen to receive “free” grant money for college. Today, the same Middle-Eastern-accented female told me she was calling from the U.S. Treasury Department and she needed to speak with my grandson. I asked why the U.S. Treasury Department was calling for my grandson. She ignored my question and very assertively asked to speak with my grandson again; and, again I asked her why she was calling. She then hung up. I redialed the number and she answered as a U.S. Treasury Department Investigator. After a brief conversation, she said to me, “Tell [name] he is in big trouble.” I redialed again and no one answered. Little does this cow know I will claw her eyes out when comes to my ONLY grandchild.
