Same as above. Called daughter, left message. I have been calling them trying to order a pizza but they keep hanging up. When they ask for my name I give them BHO. Ha Ha.
Someone pose to be an IRS agent called up my daughter during her class and tell her she needs to pay penalty of $1,500 since she failed to submit a form that is needed. If she won't comply a lawsuit will be filed against her. She was been threatend that end up not disclosing the whole scamming information to me and my husband; came home hysterical and shaking. Note: since i can't select the category that is appropriate for call type: it was a legit govt agency number been used. The number above was given to my daughter cause her phone is about to die. She asked a call back number.
Voice message left on our home phone for my daughter, claiming to be Officer James Anderson of the FBI. Said a complaint had been lodged against her, and she needed to call this number right away. I called the number and said I was returning Officer James Anderson's call. I was not asked my name, and was told he'd connect me. No one picked up and the line eventually went to a busy signal. I immediately called again, and the line went dead before anyone answered. Scammy, for sure.
Caller ID listed Federal Bur Invest - Didn't answer - let it go to voicemail. Accented name asked for my son who is away at college. He was to call back Offices Jones at his direct line at the Crime Investigation department. Won't give them the time of day.
This happened literally 5 minutes from the moment I typed this up. While at work I received a call from a phone number that I googled to be the number for the FBI in Ann Arbor. I did not answer so the caller, with a horrible accent, left a voicemail. The person calling claimed to be Officer Chris Jordan (sound familiar? same name as a mass shooter). Apparently, like Lisa's case above, there was a complaint filed against me and I was told I needed to call back to avoid "further legal action," by the FBI. I was instructed to call the number at the top of this thread to reach some Officer Thomas Ryan or something. I have not called the number but since the situations explained above only happened within a week ago, I will not be calling that number at all.
A year ago I received a similar call, involving the IRS, almost identical to Ina's situation above, though I do not remember the number that called. Needless to say it was all a scam.
