I got a call from Stephanie, saying if we didn't get $3000 into the "IRS account" by 2:00pm my husband would be arrested and in jail for 12 months with no opportunity for getting out or getting a lawyer. They wanted me to get cash, go to Western Union and call her back. She would then give me instructions on how to send the money in correctly.
Scared me to death. I called the IRS, they said that it is a scam.
An IRS Agent (I.D. # 45915) by the name of Pat Williams called me Saturday, December 7, 2013, at about 11:15 A.M. The man had a strong Indian accent.This was the second type phone call. I knew it was a hoax, and told him so. He kept on talking and interrupting me. After about 30 seconds, I hung up.
Received a phone call today from someone I could not understand. Caller id number was 415-484-8569 "Stinson Beac CA".
They advised me that IRS had opened a case and that it was urgent that I call Mr. Webster at 415-484-8569. Since they had just woke me up I did not put two and two together that it was the same number they were calling from. I tried to ask a couple of questions and all they would say is that it was URGENT that I call right away. I did call the number but could not get through. I then decided to google and this is what I found. What a shame.
This is the message I receive 2 to 3 times a day! A man says he's from IRS to call him or else...@ 415-484-8569! After typing this number into search I found out it is a Scam! Thank God for my husband who told me from day 1 that it was a scam! Because if you normally have any problems with the IRS they will contact you by mail!
