The recorded call begins in an Indian accent "This message is intended to contact you". How wonderfully efficient!
It continues, "This is Kevin Mason calling regarding an enforcement action executed by the US Treasury requiring your attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional attempt to avoid your appearance before a Magistrate Judge or Grand Jury for a Federal Criminal Offense. Press 1 to speak to a Senior Attorney or, Press 2 if you want to face legal charges".
I left the Call Type as Unknown since there is no option to choose SCAM.
Tangential footnote: Folks, we're living in a Post-Legal Society, where the Constitution has essentially been gutted. Where are the governmental agencies, technology corporations, telephone companies and others who have the ability to halt these, and other abuses? For the most part, on the same side. Theirs, not ours. There's money to be made here people. And yes, I'm completely disgusted with what is going on in what is supposed to be OUR country.
I'll close my rant with just one of many eye-openers by looking at the etymology or derivation of the word "governmental": Govern means to Control, Mental refers to the Mind. Governmental = Mind Control.
As aggravating as these calls are, I would suggest that our collective energy should be directed at solving what are quickly becoming much more lethal eventualities. Okay, enough energy here.
I picked up the message on my elderly mother's answering machine (yes, she still has an answering machine!). As others have reported the caller is most threatening, referencing "appearance before a magistrate" and "federal prosecution" for failing to respond. Just glad mom tried to answer with the TV remote again instead of the phone!
Just got the call about 11am today. But since they are impersonating the government, can't they be turned in to the goverment scam website or something like that?
Just got a call today. I'm so sorry that the caller couldnt remember my name and just said you need to call the IRS. I'm very scared that I owe this money:) How do they find these people. Karama
From the "Treasury" Department telling us that we are going to have charges put against us if we don't call them back, (we don't answer #'s we don't recognize). The y also used the word "magistrate" and spoke with and Indian, (from India), accent. Blocked!
