I got the same scam message and I am going to the police department since they were stupid enough to leave a message on my answering machine. The police should call and trace the call and have them arrested for this kind of scam. If they won't trace the call I will call my phone company and tell them that I am receiving threats over the phone and I want to trace the calls...then when they give the phone number to the police department, they can be prosecuted. What they are doing is threatening people.
I received multiple calls from this number stating it was "Susan Collins" from the State Treasury and I had "avoided the IRS and commited fraud" and that "legal action would be taken and law enforcement would be at my doorstep to arrest me within 45 minutes" if I did not comply to pay the $4,900 that I "owed". At first I had no idea what was going on(it's my first year filing taxes) but soon realized it was a scam. HANG UP if you get a call from these people!
I got a call indicating that I was in trouble and needed to call 678-359-3962 or law enforcement would be involved.
I called from a number not my own and the person answered United States Treasury. I said you are the Unites States Treasury? The response from the person that answered was "I said Can I help you?" When pressed again about the US Treasury he said Stop calling her you [***].
We have gotten numerous calls from "Steve Martin" telling us that we are in big trouble and that we will have to go in front of a magistrate or grand jury if we do not contact him immediately so he can "help us". Scam.
Got the same call from Steve Martin that wild and crazy guy. Funny they don't mention the person by name they are trying to reach and you would think the treasury would have a legitimate caller id, instead of some town in GA. Most likely some burner phone. Don't waste your time
