I got a call from Tanisha from Weinberg & Associates today stating a 1099 tax form from 2012 was filed incorrectly. After researching this further on my own it is from a collections debt that I paid in full but they state that they own the debt and I was unfortunately swindled by the collections agency for $1,300. I do have a paid in full letter from the collections agency that I paid back in July '12, which I sent to Thomas Pane, but he said that I need to pay them too....scam?
Says they are with a law firm regarding an unfiled 1099 in a name I haven't carried in over 7 yrs...name and info don't match...BEWARE. Any "taxes" that need fixing come via mail NOT cell phones. Sounds real convencing I might add. But a lawsuit by phone??? That arrives my mail or hand.
This is BS they say call 7169801486 7169801485 call both numbers there A Lawyer all A scam to be served for fraud you must be served by mail or by hand.....Not phone --------scam
Received the same call. A person named "Tanisha" left a message saying she had a signed affidavit linked to my SSN; she gave my first and last name. Stated A 1099 tax form from 2008 was filed incorrectly; I'm being charged with fraud. And to call (716) 980-1486 (NY number) First of all if this were even the case IRS
would never get a law office to call... They would send it via U.S priority mail. I contacted
IRS and BBV to report everything.
Oh.. The kicker was my mom received the same
Call with the same "case number"... imagine that.
I received the same call today as Mis (posted July17, 2013). The person that called me was Angela Simon for Thomas Paine with Weinberg & Associates (716-980-1486). I called the number but no answer just the answering machine. I thought it sounded fishey. If they call back I will tell them to just file the lawsuit to see what their response will be then. I'm glad I Googled the phone number and found out about all the complaints and the scam. I will be sending my complaint to my state's Attorney General's office. I advise others to do the same.
