This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt. One of the tricks they use is to call your work place repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying. They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

I have received 3 calls from this phone number. They do not address anyone by name. They say they're from the IRS and that you have overdue taxes. Interesting enough, they even called me at 7:45 p.m. Eastern Standards Time. The IRS closes like anybody else does at 5PM, during normal business hours. Also, the IRS would be sending you a letter that would be directly sent to your home. Amazingly enough, my caller ID says California. Guessing that they are unaware of the three hour time change. I a?m reporting them to do not call and any place else that anybody is interested in hearing about them. BTW, their accent is foreign, possibly from India.
Just keeps calling saying they are from the United States Treasure Dept.and something about back taxes it's mumbled and a recorded message. I have gotten this call three times twice in one day.
If you can, silence them by turning off your answering machine and letting the phone ring. Hear nothing from anyone other than a ringing phone. On a cell, try blocking unknown numbers.
