I received a message from this 415-484-5967 number today, 11/28/2013, thanksgiving day of all days. I called it back using a different number than the one they called on and used *67 in front of my number to stop my number from coming across. I said you called my number, he said his name was David Jackson. Interesting name considering he was from somewhere in India. anyway, he said this is the IRS investigation team and that they had done a five-year audit of my taxes and that I owed back taxes. I asked for what year and he said for five years back and i asked which of those five years and he said he would have to research it and call me back with the information and hung up. okay. this is definitely a scam. number one, the IRS does not call you, they send letters in the mail before they even talk to you. I hate these people bc they take advantage of many people who panic and do what they say. so with that being said, please do not even call these people back. let it go and move on. also, tell them if you do talk to them that your attorney has been given this information and will be handling it from here on.
Friday - just received a call (second one today) from someone claiming to be from the IRS and that a serious legal problem existed with my account. He said I should call his supervisor James Anderson 415 691 7195. When I asked for a case number he repeated that I should just call his supervisor. I pressed the issue and asked how the supervisor would know what case he is dealing with since he must deal with hundreds of these cases at a time. Again, just call.
This was the most fun I've had all day. I try to keep these jokers on the line for as long as possible to see how elaborate their ruse is.
