got a call today from the number listed above and they left a message on my voicemail. yesterday i got a similar call from a different number stating the same thing in their voice mail. i spoke with the one yesterday and finally on the second call yesterday i told them i contacted my lawyer and the police. he quickly hung up.
Got a call from this number, left a message to say it was the Department of Justice and wanted me to call them back. I called the number back and ask if this was really the Department of Justice and the guy hung up. Its a Scam trying to get money
It sounded as if the guy that could barely speak English was reading from a script, I had heard about these scams, and I could tell right away this was one of them, DON'T FALL FOR IT, IT'S A S C A M!!
I just got a message left on my phone about an IRS having a tax warrant out for me since 2010. Then they called back a few minutes later where I picked up. I knew it was wrong. The guy could barely speak English. He then transferred me to another person. He had a heavy accent too. Supposeivly it is the Tresury dartment trying to help me out by informing me I did something wrong with my taxes in 2010. He could not send me the papers to let me know what was going on. But some scary things he knew my address. My name and my Husband's name. So do not be fooled. As I argued with him about why haven't I know about this sooner if it has been a problem since 2010. And Why would my name be the one getting the warrant and not my husband's too if we file together. Then the treat he gave me is that if he does tell me about this without interruption he would send it so the warrant goes out to the police. So his final threat was beach use I was not hearing it, "Fine expect the police at your door to arrest you. " Then he hung up on me. Ohh, did that make me angry. So I looked up what number on my phone it was and started surching out. Scam people. Don't tell them anything. Hang up and search the number. You'll find the truth. Sorry really mad right now.
This guy called and in broken English asked for my daughter. He said he was from the "Dept of Legal Affairs". He mentioned some mumbo jumbo about lawyer if my daughter did not call back. We did not call back
