First i was called by a message saying it was an agent from the irs then when i called they accused my husband and i of commiting fraud to the irs. When i got decensive and told him i didnt believe he was working with the irs he said not to worry the police would be coming to arrest us with numerous counts including fraud to the irs. I have since called the irs and found no audit or any criminal actions towards us.
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
I received a voicemail from a man with poor English who said he was Officer Eric Foster and that if I didn't return his call or have my attorney return his call he would take immediate action against me.
i had a call on my answering machine saying " this call is for you, i am officer eric foster and if u don't call me back or have my attorney call back, then he is really sorry as to what may happen to me",,,,this was scary, i felt as though i was being threatened some how
I hope this piece of %$#$ reads these, because the next time you call me I.ll trace your [***] down and make it a quest to personally sue and crucify your low life [***]. FCC better get on the ball, this guy is leaving illegal threatening messages that is probably scaring most that he calls. Also if he is affiliated with any type of low life 3rd party collections Law firm/Attorney better have validated their information and please file in my states court system and have me served. I'll sue their [***] too for $1,000 allowed by law and have them investigated by their States Attorney Office.
Have them Provide and Validate all the following information per the;
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Sec 809(b) that your claim is being disputed and validation is being requested.
1. What the money you say I owe for:
2. Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe;
3. Provide me with any and all copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe;
4. Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable;
5. Provide verification of the date of default and last payment made;
6. Identify the original owner;
7. Prove the statue of limitation has not expired on this account;
8. Show me that you are licensed to collect in this state;
9. Provide a copy of your agreement and/or contract amount with the original creditor to collect
this debt;
10. Provide me with your license number and Registered Agent;
Don't be intimidated just make them comply with the law!
PS Give them 30 days and demand they only contact you through the mail.
If you've been served show for court and request a continuance, then file a responsive pleading countering each and everyone of the claims and require them to provide proof of each demand made. They will probably move to dismiss without prejudice because they are unable to provide for the courts the required validation information that is demanded in your Responsive Pleading.
NOTE* They paid very little for these accounts and they hope for a default judgment. That’s how they make their real $. You do also have the right to sue them, document the harassment.
You'll be fine
