Got a call from this number. Very tough to understand accent. Said that either I or my "attorney of record" should call to resolve an IRS issue. Said that if I didn't call legal action would be taken.
Quick google search yielded this web site where we reconfirmed our initial suspicions - that this was a scam! But perhaps I will give these jokers a call later on - just for giggles.
They left a message on my answering machine claiming to be from IRS. Speaker had very bad English. Only the words "IRS", "call back", and the return number were audible. When I called, they say they are IRS, and the IRS Is filing a lawsuit against me for tax deficiency. The lawsuit papers were sent to me several times but said they were returned because I was not at home to sign for them. To tell me anything about the lawsuit, they wanted my name, social, birth date, street address, etc.
We received a call this morning. Someone with an imperfect accent asking me to call Daniel Peters to discuss issues related to my tax filings. I asked the caller to send regular mail on IRS letterhead so I can follow-up at which point he hung up the phone. An hour or so later when I called that number, there indeed was a person who answered the call as Daniel and who hung up the call well before we could get into any substantive conversation. I was trying to ascertain his IRS credentials.
Got the same call this morning and as I was bashing him as a scam he said he'd send Bin Laden's people to blow up this Country and knew where I lived. I told him to come by personally so that I could put a bullet through is towlhead. He then hung up.
