Some guy called. He left a message. The message was all broken up. Said to have my attorney call him right away in a rather demanding voice. First of all if I have some kind of problem with the IRS I am sure I will get some kind of paper in the mail. Don't fall for their crap. They are just trying to get money from you. Waste of time.
So far as I know, there' s no way to trace where, exactly, the calls are coming from. Maybe NSA has the technology; I don't think anyone else has. They are in India, that's all anyone really knows. They spoof all their numbers.
No. Government does not release those numbers. The Indian scammers buy the information from the local grey market in personal information. Sometimes they out and out buy it from on-line and other fly-by-night loan operations. Sometimes they just buy it on the open market, for example from collection agencies or insurance companies.
My suspicion is that they have a lot of personal information on the people they target. If a persons seems naive or seems to have been in financial trouble, or is a woman a single mother, elderly or a member of the immigrant company, that's who they'll call. They are looking for easy marks.
ive reported them they are out of washington state not dc i work at a government related job they have been leaving a paper trail that will hang them eventualy just ignore them give out no personal information
