They pretend to have an arrest warrant from IRS. The latter always warns they do not get in touch with people over the phone. I think they should be pursued for this. It is annoying. It is a real scam. I just blocked the number.
Just got a recorded message somewhat unintelligible but clearly arrest warrant and IRS.
Call back, guy answers, lots of voices in background, says he is officer brown, looks at caller id and says did we call this number, I say yes, he says hold on, phone goes silent about a minute, then says are you so and so. I say no, never heard of them. He hangs up.
Very very sketchy.
Wonder what the scam would have been if I was so and so.
What a SCAM. They called me too, but I just started laughing at this stupid message. I had heard about this scam a couple of years ago. I pray for the elderly though; they are ones that fall prey more often.
