At 6:09 this morning I rec'd a recorded message stating she was officer Julie Smith from IRS and had an extremely important time-sensitive message that I should not disregard and gave me the hot line number to call, repeated the number twice (which is the same number she called from) and I should return this call before any further action is taken against me. Good-bye and take care!
Person called my elderly mother and left a VM stating that she was Julie Smith with the IRS, left a call back number. My mother called the number (415)234-9628 and a man answered the call. He told her that she had fraudulently filed her tax forms and owed $4550.00. He then threatened that if she didn't pay that they would seize her bank account and her social security, and that she would be arrested within an hour and a half. She told him that she needed to call her tax person and he told her that she would be involving a third party and that her tax lady would be arrested too. She still refused to pay and he warned her again of her impending arrest and hung up on her.
Do not return the call. This is a total scam being operated out of India or Pakistan. Ignore the call. Invest in a call blocker. Nobody is coming after you.
