I got one today too! The man claimed I had a lawsuit against me from the IRS, it was a period of 4 years and that it was 1763.00. He had a very thick Indian accent and there was a lot of noise in his background, I told him that I had trouble understanding him and he got irate with me and told me I was being recorded and to stop interrupting him. WOW. I told him that I have received nothing in the mail, he told me that information had already been sent 3 times to my home, I asked for the dates, he put me a fast hold and gave me a date in January that was a Sunday, long story short, after arguing with him that if he were indeed the IRS, they could surely send another notice and work out payments. I hung up. This scared me, he had good tactics but after he informed they would not send me another...buh-bye.
Me too. A forgiven dude calls and says there's a virus in my windows computer & I don't even own any windows system on the computer!!! The # is 1-607-527-8802 and it is in Campbell New York!! Watch out!! Its a scam
607-527-8802 Left me a message saying he had information regarding my missing CAT. Got my number from Craigslist I guess....stupid, stupid, stupid....ugh
Also got a call from this number. They claimed there was an infraction against my name & ssn reported to the IRS which would go to Federal court if I did not call 202-621-0813 (http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-202-621-0813) as soon as possible.
They call 20 times or more in a row saying someone from this number owes them money for a loan, but no one took a loan out. The same person keeps calling from different numbers from all of the world and from pay phones. They won't give the company they work for. They are rude when the call.

— filed under: Press Release
The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
