Received the same weird message. Someone else posted this, and my call said essentially the same thing.
"The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My name is officer Eric Forster and hotline to my division is 716-800-0640. I repeat my number is 716-800-0640. Now don't try to disregard this message and do return the call. If you don't return the call and if I don't hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is I wish you a good luck as the situation badly unfolds on you. So give me a call back as soon as you get this message. Thank you."
Some one left me a message saying that he was an officer and that I should not ignore this call. If he did not hear back from me or my attorney then he wishes me luck.
Yep, I got the same message left on my voice mail. Said the same stuff. You'd think these people could find something better to do with their time, like playing on train tracks or the freeway. Sheesh.
This guy called me and left me a threatening message. I could barely understand his English and he was very rude, stating he was from the IRS and that I was accused of fraud. Turned out he was looking for someone else and he backed down, but of course didn't apologize. I told him it might help next time if he made sure he was calling the right person before leaving a threatening message and then having an attitude.
