I received a call from an "Officer Bruce Jones" from the (unintelligible) Investigation Department. It urged someone I know (who does not live in our household) to contact the department at the stated number or legal action would be initiated. The message used very threatening language until they threw in a convivial "Arrivaderci!" at the end. I'm sure it was the same caller who called yesterday, told me that I had downloaded a serious virus onto my computer, and told me I needed to turn my computer on so he could fix it. In both conversations I heard background chatter, as if this was a telephone scamming group, rather than just a single prankster.
This caller states they are just looking for some fun. They said that he is located in california...LA to be exact. Offering to pay 6000-8000 for one night. I WAS APPALLED!! WHAT KIND OF COMPANY LETS THIS KINDA CRAP GO ON???? To make matters worse....they had some of my personal information.....too scary

This guy called my mom asking for my sister and claimed she owed IRS taxes and that if she didn't pay within the hour, it would be going to court. He does leave an unintelligible message which required *69 to retrieve. The he asked for my sister's email address and hung up on my mom when she called back. The IRS sends a letter when you owe taxes. They never call. I was audited, so I have firsthand experience. Whoever has this number is just a jerk scammer who raises blood pressure.
