Just got a call from this number--it was a guy with an accent I couldn't place claiming to be from the IRS, that they knew about a letter I had gotten from the IRS (that part was true), that I was being audited, that there was a warrant issued in my name, that I would have to travel to Washington D.C., asked if I thought he was joking, claimed that if I hung up he would have to dispatch a patrol car and have me arrested. At that point I hung up and made myself a sandwich.
As of this writing, an hour later, I am still a free citizen.
They keep calling me too so I called back and get a message that the magic jack customer is not available and leave a msg. but mailbox is full (magic jack is untraceable) pretty sure this is a scam. Don't give out any info!
Sounded confused then asked me if there was anyone that could accept a legal document for my mother, needless to say my mother has been deceased for years nice try idiots!!
Received a call from Jennifer, at this number. She said there is a complaint against me and she's unsure whether its civil or criminal. She said She doesn't have access to that information because they need my social security number. She told me I need to call 1-888-283-5896 and was given a six digit file # to refer to. Jennifer started speaking very quickly at this point and I tried asking twice but then ended up screaming into the phone for her to slow down and speak normally! She said something like, "If they don't hear from you within that time frame then they open the case and start the legal proceedings." I mean, total [***], right? I laughed after she said that and just replied "Riiiiiight." I Googled that 888 number too and it had the same complaints as this number. Also, Jennifer stated that she workes for "United SMB Processing Co." She also told me the purpose of her company is to notify the people before it goes to court. I'm thankful there are forums where uninformed people can be educated about the dishonesty and scam artists that are out there. I was going to call the number whebtave be but after looking but hem both up, there's no way in hell.
