I received a call from 'Officer' Steven Butler this am from IRS stating I or my attorney needed to call back as soon as possible or I would face the consequences. This is a scam for money. Please be careful and don't pick up!
Mine is similar to yours however it was against my mother who never worked in her entire life. I received a call from the officer Matthew Eastman from phone number 3255000533 who claimed that my mom never paid taxes from 2000 to 2009. And the amount is 3,467.48... If I don't settle that with them over the phone using a government bond my mom will be arrested in 2 hours. Picked up from her house and be deported to Lebanon. Also her passport will be confiscated. . In the beginning of the phone call he ave me the option to hire a lawyer- in the end that is what I chose - immediately he started to scream at me and called me a habitual offender. He told me to pack my moms suitcase because in two hours she would be in jail. One last thing- the total amount that he was asking for was 4,626.48... That includes late fees and 4 certificates of declaration that my moms record is clear and clean. He also refused to take a debit card for payment. Please be careful...
Yes, I received a similar call from IRS impostors (phone 325-500-0533) on 4/21/2014. Fortunately, I had read about this SCAM before. I told the caller "off". But, some how we need to find a way to stop this nuisance as it is terrorizing / wripping-off hardworking, innocent law abiding citizens. Can the phone companies not seize their phone numbers?
Got a call, same phone number and same area. I also explained that they completely sounded like a scam. The two guys don't even speak English properly!
