I received a phone call from a man with a Indian accent who claimed to be calling from the IRS Investigations Bureau in San Francisco, California. He said that I had a legal allegation against me and that I had to call his senior officer Kevin Peterson immediately at the number 530 289 6409 regarding my case number CRI1624. He said that they would not mail anything and he insisted I needed to call right now to the number. When I called there was only a loud beep. Then I called the real IRS and interestingly enough their voicemail said that all IRS offices were closed. I heard someyhing similar on news because of the government shutdown. So this sounds like a scam. Especially because I have no current irs issues.
I received a call today from someone with a very strong accent. Asking me for my criminal attorney's name. He was trying to intimidate me. I did start giving him my lawyers name and phone number and he hung up the phone.
I received the same call, but it was left on my voicemail. Accent definitely from India. Barely understood the message other than I should return the call due to back tax issues. I have no issues with the IRS. I don't have any reason to cheat on my taxes; am currently retired and I will ignore the voicemail. These people are full of it and it's unfortunate someone can't do something to nip this in the butt. DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE!!!! I agree with the individual above. THIS IS YET ANOTHER SCAM. NOTE: I am registered on the Do Not Call Registry, to no avail.
I just received the same message from the same heavy accented Something. I knew it was a scam when they said calling from the IRS. Government is shutdown dipwads!
I got the same call same number..... I called him back and got into a fight with him and he started swearing at me and I educated him that although it is possible for the IRS to hire a someone to do out going calls with a VERY thick Indian accent I don't believe they would allow or encourage him to swear to those he is trying to collect from... he hung up... I then received a call for a Indian accented woman but the number was from NY 3474180450 who said basically the same thing about it being an important legal matter and not to ignore it.
