Scam ... computer voice ... R2D2 now works for the US Treasury, badge number is 4165. " the purpose of this call is regarding an enforcement action which has been executed by the U. S. Treasury Department" ... (yeah, right ... Luke and I are tight ) ... , regarding the tax fraud against your name .... Ignoring this will be an attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offense, before this matter goes to federal claims court before you get arrested." (Darn, I'm not keen on being sent off to the death star.) "Call us back on our number as soon as possible. The number to reach us at (202) 738-4446." ..... Ok, so what's in it for me?
I received a phone call from 606-555-0150. It was a women's recorded message on my answering machine. They said it was the Federal government and I had a tax complaint and I was going to be arrested if I didn't return the call. The phone number I was supposed to return was ex 3165 - 202-559-0666
