I received an unwanted call from these scam artists with poor command of the English language. The scam artist said, "please call us back to avoid intending serious action." Haha! How come there are no task forces to bust these cretins. Seems like they aren't the smartest criminals.
I received a call from (762) 383-0014 with the same recorded message as the above:
"If you did not call this number concerning the US Dept of Treasury, you will have to appear before a federal magistrate." Yes, he also had broken English. Difficult to understand. The caller ID said it was from Augusta, GA.
Just received the same call. I called back 4 times because I wanted to prove to myself that this was indeed a scam. Each person that answered the phone had horrible broken English. Each time I asked for the specifics or to speak to a supervisor I was hung up on. The last person I spoke to "Officer Jennfier St. George" asked for the phone # I was calling from and I gave a # that I haven't had in service in over 15 years. She said that I owed over $6,350.00 in back taxes from 2011 and when asked how come every year since then I have received some sort of return I was told that she wasn't talking about my current taxes. I asked for the SS# she was speaking about and was told "that's none of your business and I'm not authorized to give it out". I was also told to "sit back and have a cup of tea because my investigating officers will be there in 45 minutes." It has been over 45 minutes and no one has rang my bell yet. I believe this is a total scam. How do we protect the elderly people that receive these types of calls???
Got the call everyone above spoke about. I would be concerned about it for 2 minutes longer if it wasn't for this forum. Another swing and a miss for the bad guys! Glad that I'm not "disgruntled"!
