Number isn't dead, it's now making its rounds to Hawaii residents. Got two calls and messages from this number at my parents' house, BUT the message asks to be called back at 530-208-0695. Too bad the local IRS office here isn't taking calls for complaints. I agree that this scam will easily take advantage of the elderly. Be careful, people.
Caller 425-209-1032 is activate an Indian male who is thereatening that he knows me and knows where I am at. With all of the technology we have these days it is surprising that individuals can still get away with threatening and stalking law abiding citizens. I have filed a police report and I encourage iothers to do the same.
Got a separate call earlier in the week (530-208-0685) from what HAS to be the same guy (not to stereotype)… This time (SAT at around NOON, PST, calling from 425-209-1032) I went off on him, when I should have just not picked up the phone (he was in the middle of leaving a message).
But, same story as earlier in the week… Scam guy (SUPER thick accent w/bad phone connection, and numerous others talking in background) claims to be w/IRS and that I have probs w/my taxes, in past years. I ask him if he mailed anything, and he says they did repeatedly (impossible). I ask him to tell me the last 4 digits of my SS# and he says he's "not authorized, only a senior member can do that." He tells me to call JOHN ANDERSON (from the band YES, no doubt); I tell him to mail stuff again; no way I'm giving tax info over phone to a random guy when no caller ID info shows up, other than this number. And yes, he was super aggressive. SCAM!!!!!!
I got the call this morning - 8:52am PT in California on 2/12/2014.
This guy is very active still - said there is some illegal activity on my income tax returns and that my husband should call back phone number 415-251-9454; mr John Anderson; to discuss our case further else they will be taking action.
What guts these people have to carry off such a scam!!
