Just received a recorded call from someone claiming to be a police officer saying that a lawsuit has been filed in my name at the county court house and that I should call 716-202-8632 to resolve
Got 3 calls and voice messages from this number at home today. "Urgent matter concerning District Court" sounded vaguely familiar. Re-called this number from my cell phone. No answer. Immediately recalled same number from my house phone and they answered on the 3rd ring. A thickly accented man answered, said I had reached the IRS. I don't really think that the IRS is open after 5p on Friday. Let alone the fact that the number has zero hits when I used several different reverse look ups. Again, I doubt the real IRS hides any of their numbers.
I then remember this same person calling me in May with the same spiel.....be wary of this guy!
Received a call (voice mail) from this number claiming that they were the IRS and that I was name in a law suit. I was to call back this number to discuss the legal matter (716-202-8632). I call the number back asking who was this and what did they want. A man with a thick accent said he was the IRS but did not give me a name. He gave the name of someone in the household and said our address. I ask for his name it was never given. I ask what he wanted again. He said that he did not like my attitude and that the police was going to show up at my house in 45 min to arrest me. I ask what for and he hung up.
First of all it is a crime to say that you work for a federal agency and you do not. What I am concern about is that he had the name of someone in my household and our address.
If you get a call from this person please report it. Please be aware of this person. I called the number back and no one answered . It was not a business line.
I have too received approx. 4 calls from this number stating a lawsuit filed against us from the IRS. Received another call this morning and I returned the call. Third ring and Man answered with very thick accent. He answered saying "Good Morning, Internal Revenue Service, how may I help you?" I quickly hung up because it was very suspicious. I'm sure if something was coming my way from the IRS, I'd have someone at my door serving me with a subpoena or have numerous certified letters being sent. We have not received anything of that nature. Be aware, this is very suspicious and don't provide any information.
Got a call from them today claiming they were the IRS and that I had a lawsuit against me, so I told them to tell me what the lawsuit was immediately because it sounded like a scam. He then hung up and that was it.
