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.
got a call from the number and also one from 'california call' 408 2297100 - on Monday, holiday - duhhh! i hope osmeone reports this to the irs and they bust these guys.
I have been receiving the same call from a guy with an Indian accent. Said his name was John Watson. He gave me an Operator Number os 1103257350. He continues to call stating that an action against my husband and he will not speak to me. I asked which office he was from and he stated Los Angeles. I confronted him about the 530 area code. He became aggitated and abruptly ended the call. He continues to call every day, leaving messages.
I am getting bogus "IRS" calls from this same number, only my caller is a woman (presumably from India). She's called my house several times. My husband talked to her, told her she was full of [***] and hung up, but she's called back several times. I can barely understand a word she says.
Thank you for this page. I called back this number 580-260-6409, Indian guy telling me they are going to sue me. I said
."go for it" and hung up but was shaking the whole time. I'm so glad this is fraud. Frankly the government has already taking everything me and my husband have so there is nothing left to sue us for. I got laid off from my financial job of 22 years in 2008, since then things have gone down hill. My husband and I and my 2 kids had a house and a nice comfortable life, we were not rich just average. We paid our bills on time, but after my layoff things were tough. The government said they would help, but could not find the person who said that. Lol. I guess the joke was on us. Thx for this forum.
