Pretend to be IRS. Tell you all sorts of bad things will soon happen to you because you didn't cross the T or dot the I on your tax forms. But, if you send them money by Green dot money pak which are untraceable, the whole problem will simply go away. Total scam.
Reported call to 311, and Officer of HPD. Called number back and it is disconnected. Person is ID- ing self as Derrick/
Eric Foster or Jeff Cooper. Fake accents are used, said "Good Luck" if I did not returned call, represented himself from IRS, ask if I was working or retired, and repeated my new cell phone number, with a different name. Number is now disconnected.
Mine will be also be disconnected since this is a new phone and number ASAP, going to Sprint office now!!! So long sucker! What is this world coming to???

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
Phone message on home phone today "Officer Eric Foster" said me or my attorney better call him and "good luck" if I don't. Obvious scam which will be reported for whatever good that will do! He will have another phone by end of day and be calling another state (this call was in California). Don't bother calling local PD they not going to waste time with it.
