I received two voicemails from this caller with the same message the others are reporting. I also received two similar messages on Saturday from 215-734-0228. The man stated he was Steve Martin and he was call about an enforcement action with the US Treasury. I did not return either of the calls. Just wondering if anyone else receive calls from both of these numbers.
Received the same call. I twitted the scam on the internet and linked it @latimes @IRSnews @IRStaxpros
If anyone knows of a better way to notify the government about this big problem please let us know. impersonating a Federal employee is a federal offense. I also made a formal complaint to https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx hope it helps. I know they will just get a new phone number. Phone companies need to be accountable. FCC is sleeping thanks to the republicans for defunding everything..
In my opinion this is just another JUNK CALL. ...
According to this website .... http://www.whitepages.com/phone/1-415-251-8910 .... The phone number 1-415-251-8910 originates in Ignacio, CA (north of San Francisco). If it was the real IRS "threatening action" they would send a registered letter. Enough said.
In the future, do not call anyone back unless you know them personally.
My elderly Father-in-law got sucked into one of these traps too.
Plus .... If it was the real IRS "threatening action" they would send a registered letter.
