A virulent telemarketer from this number (fraudulently claimed to be from the IRS Criminal Investigations Division) today, then told me to F’ Off and Die! The cold-caller’s sour stream of expletives came in response to my direct question “Are you actually an IRS Agent or not” whereupon the dimwitted doodlebug became tongue-tied, and notwithstanding some guttural mumbo jumbo, appeared entirely unable to form a coherent sentence.
I get a call from the IRS I call back! 25 years as an independent and I know better than to ignore an IRS call even when the fellow who left the message hardly speaks English. This is not uncommon with the IRS these days. Was directed to "Kevin Peterson" (same accent) I asked if it was the Scandinavian or English spelling of the last name. I was told the local Sheriff would be here shortly to seize my assets and provide my court docs. I got a little pissed, asked for a supervisor they gave me a guy with similar accent who was just a full of crap, demanded $1314 or I would have to pay $12,540 at the court house. I told them email me the docs and I will be pleased to pay, otherwise refer me to the branch manager or someone who spoke English. They hung up and will not answer anything now. call came from 530-289-6409
This is a very obvious scam since the vast majority of the IRS is shut down. Also, you should know that any communication from the IRS regarding tax issues is always initiated via the US Mail. You will never, ever receive the type of call you did from the IRS.
Indian people saying they are irs & we have problem with return. Claimed his name was David Johnson & when asked to put someone on the line who could speak English, another heavy Indian accent come on the line & said his name Don Williams. Yea right!
My phone rang a little before 7:30 AM from this # . The # they called me on was my fax line that NEVER rings before 9AM. I went to see if there was a fax but there wasn't . Checked caller ID and Googled the # that led me to this site. I'm shocked at the comments I am reading. I thought it was some telemarketer that I was going to call back and let them know they couldn't call people that early. I won't waste my time now. Thanks 800 notes!...... Stupid Foreigners!
