Also received "officer sampson" spiel. Very annoying, luckily this was so obviously fake, but still such a waste of time. Starting to get these more than necessary, just a different number, different officer. Just be wary!!
I didn't answer this call, the message left on my voicemail is clearly a recording because it starts part-way through the spiel; a guy with an East Indian accent says "... it is extremely time sensitive, my name is Officer Peter Sampson and the hotline number to my division is 437-888-3167, I'll repeat it's 437-888-3167, so now if you don't return the call or I don't hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is to wish you good luck as the situation badly enfolds on you, good bye."
Apparently 437 is a new Toronto, ON area code effective sometime in 2013.
There are so many red flags on this one it isn't funny.
SCAM.
I got the same message as "Pissed off." I called them back, they are diffinitely with Indian accent. I gave them fake info, they said I had miscalculations in my 2009-2013 tax returns. Anyhow finally they hang up on me. People should call them back to tie up their phone lines and time.
I called the number back and a different accent/voice message to leave a message "the person you are calling is unavailable, please leave a message". Must be a scam or something?
I received a message today from Officer Sampson and promptly reported it to Toronto Police Services. Maybe, someday, someone will catch up to these thieves.
