SCAM SCAM Called us to. The accent is so thick most of what she says is in audible. Something about Department of Legal Affairs blah blah blah. Same number 530-733-0024
called to tell me I defaulted on an IRS back tax payment plan and that if I didn't settle an arrearage of $10,500.00 TODAY, IRS agents would be at my home the next day and could take me into custody for up to 6 months. I never had an installment payment plan with the IRS. They said they don't give notice in writing, that the notice is on television and the radio.
Tel 347-342-1820 called me early this morning. The called ID showed "unassigned" as the name. A person (female) who could not speak English very well proceeded to ask for a name which I couldn't understand. She said to call back to the above number and ask for Angela Johnson at ext 2487. That was the only thing I understood from what she was saying. Of course, I did not call back. I checked the number out and found this website.
This afternoon at 5:25PM a second call camefrom this number. Same foreign voice and I asked what she wanted and to please put someone on the phone who could speak English. She got nasty and began shouting and when I turned on a recording device it beeped and she hung up. The number is listed as a New York exchange but I don't know if it is a land line or cell phone. If it is a cell then it could be from anywhere. Being on a do not call list is not worth the time it took to place my number on it.
I have found out this is a violation of Georgia Code title 16 Sec. 16-11.39.1.
They can serve time for this.
I am sure it is a violation in other states too.
Someone needs to stop these calls from ("U. S. treasury and trying to collect monies from you that your account has been revoked for section 15 conduct b violation. Stating that I received a notice in the mail about 15 days ago, which I never received. the call comes from Department of Legal Affairs and mind you it was on a Sunday. No IRS agent would do this they even wanted to know where the nearest Walmart, RiteAid, Walgreens would be closest to me and they would stay on the phone while I went to the bank to withdraw the monies and then they would send the settlement offer to me. I ask for it to be sent first and they couldn't do that. they couldn't give me the correct amount that was owed either. I can't believe that I was almost scammed. He stated that he was going to have my drivers leins placed on everything I owe.How can we get to bottom of this and stop this?
