I reviewed a call being told I was being sued for 5 different accounts and would be arrested in a couple of hours if I don't call them , I've gotten this call before from another state and number , it's a scam !!!!!
A woman claiming to be Agent Katherine Brown from the IRS saying I was being sued for tax invasion and fraud. When I told her I thought it was a scam because I have a certified tax guy and I do my taxes every year and get returns. She became angry and told me I will see who is scamming who when the sheriff's show up to my door in 2 hours amd arrest me.
Threatening call scam:
"Call as soon as possible. There is a lawsuit which is going to file in federal claim court house within couple of hours and the local County Sheriff are going to arrest you for five criminal allegations. So before this matter goes to the court house and you get arrested. Kindly get back to us at 716-507-4025. I repeat 716-507-4025. Now if you don't return the call then the only thing that I can do is wish you good luck."
Received call from 716-507-4025. Message said to call the number for information about a lawsuit filed against me from the US Treasury. Said I will have to appear before a US magistrate & federal grand jury.
I have my taxes done by a licensed CPA.
The IRS will NEVER notify you of anything to do with your taxes over the phone. They will send you a certified letter.
This is a scam.
They have been calling me all day and actually left a message saying they were from the IRS. They gave me the number for the Buffalo, NY IRS office - 716-961-5100 to verify. I checked that number and it appears to be real so can't imagine what the Buffalo NY office must be dealing with. The accent of the person on the phone was very musical and sounded like they were from Pakistan or India.
Same message as above-mentioned. Criminal case; must appear before the Court. The FBI should get involved in this scam. Not good. Will send a message to them now.
