Received a call from Allen Brown from the Department of Legal Affairs advising me to obtain an attorney because they are taking legal action against me for paying my taxes late, not filing on time and theft from the government. They advised they have sent me CP503 notice in the mail and I have ignored them and now they are sending out the local law enforcement to take me to jail, they are going to take possession of my house, cars, and money in my bank account. Unless I take care of this matter with them immediately.
This person had a very strong Indian accent and extremely difficult to understand. I advised this person they are a scam and I am calling the FBI and he is the one that needs to obtain an attorney for the legal actions that will be filed against him.
I really believe these people are part of a terrorist group that is scamming Americans out of money to fund their radical causes. The IRS does not call you. They send certified letters to your house. Also, If you have ever called the IRS, you know you don't get a real person at first and then you have to stay on hold forever!
These people are targeting people who are behind on their taxes and has tax liens against them. This is public information. Anyone can obtain this information online. This is the second time these people have called me trying to scam me out of my money. The first time I received a call was back in January or February of this year, from a Stephen White from the IRS. This call was from California and the person had a very strong Indian accent. Telling me I must pay my past due taxes immediately. I advised that person I had payment arrangements with the IRS. Mr. White told me that Obama had canceled all payment arrangements with tax payers, now is collecting all the money up front due to the failing economy. Today, I received a call from Allan Brown, from 760-666-8462 Vista, California.
I am going to report these people to the FBI. I don't know if they will do anything about this.
Caller says his name is Alan Brown with the Department of Legal Affairs and says that enforcement actions have been started in my name. If I delay in calling back he says it will cause a "legal mess for you."
He has a VERY strong accent and is hard to understand. There is background noise as if he was in a true calling center.
Taking a common name and background noise are both tips that this is a scam. The IRS never calls and tells you there are legal actions taken against you.
I just got a call from him. Very hard to understand. Has an amazing amount of patience for repeating things. Says there is a CP 503 notice I should have gotten in the mail. Gave me a number to call or else they will start legal proceedings. If I understood him correctly, I think he said something about law enforcement coming to my door if I didn't take care of this. Was asking for my attorney's name and phone number. Said his agent badge number was 1009, and that he was calling from the US Treasury Department of legal affairs. I actually don't know what number he called from because it was "unknown caller" on the caller ID. This number is the one he said to call to save myself from legal proceedings.
Yep, said the exact thing - with an accent like that I'd be SHOCKED if his legal name is 'Allen Brown'. Wow... bothers me deeply to know people FALL for this crap!
I just received a call from this number & it was pretty much like what's been reported. The guy was hard to understand due to a heavy accent & was saying he had a warrant out for my arrest for tax evasion! I have been audited by the IRS before & when I told him that & that this is not how they communicate he got irate & told me "this isn't the IRS"! By the end of the conversation, and him saying I owed $3997, he asked what my intentions were today. I told him I would respond once I received something in writing. He hung up! I feel sorry for the younger person or elderly who might actually be scared into thinking this was real & paying the money.
