Who called from 4152518101

i did give out my SS# stupid me..

The other day a friend of mine called about receiving a call like above.  My husband who's EA told her IRS sends letter instead of calling.  He said it must be a scam.  Well, I got a message from above number today from a heavy accented guy named Jack Palmer, saying a similar thing.  Is there any way these guys can be prosecuted?

Only if they catch them. File a report with the real IRS here:

I got called by the same dude everyone else got calls from. He called for the elderly lady I care for. Said his name was Sean Marsh (or Shawn, not sure). Heavy Indian accent, could not understand. Said there was a case against the lady. First thing that comes to mind was that they normally have some written correspondence first. With this call and that from "Microsoft", I think it's fairly safe to assume that anyone who calls with an Indian accent and won't answer questions is a scammer.

Got same call!! Told him to get on his magic carpet and come get me!!!
