Steve Martin called five times on consecutive days. Sure worry if I was elderly or uneducated....and actually responded out of fear. A real shame folks like this have to be out there preying on others. Go get a real job like the rest of us.
This is number used (or faked) by a scammer trying to get money from threatening an enforcement action by the Treasury Dept. He called himself Anthony Cooper (has an Asian accent) and left the number 210-607-8922 for me to call back. I looked up that number and there are tons of reports listed on 800Notes of scams by this person posing as an agent for the IRS or Treasury. After I blocked it, I got two more calls from this number.
I've gotten two calls from this number today. Same exact deal as above poster. Same return call number. Anthony Cooper, Treasury Dept., threatening. SCAM
Report the Calls to the real IRS here:
•report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
•You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at FTC.gov. Add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in your complaint.
Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.
Called 2 times yesterday. Left no message. Don't have a clue who they are except phone id says Vista, CA. It is amazing how every low-life scumball can constantly annoy all of us yet our govenment seems as helpless as a new born baby in putting a dent in the multitude of bogus phone calls!!!
These guys are smooth. I feel certain after the time I let them spend with me on the phone they will be very successful in getting many others to believe it's legit. No one in the Department of the Treasury or IRS will bully you into making a payment. Folks please be careful.
