These people with the foreign accents are among the same associated with payday loan scams. There is a whole section listed in here regarding these type of scams. Please be aware of all these types of scams. Stories are always changing-these people claim to be law enforcement agents, lawyers, government officials etc. Do Not contact them!
I received the following message from someone calling from this number:
"This is an important message for you. I'd like you to call me back at 786-259-6856 to resolve a legal issue that needs your immediate attention. Once again, that number is 786-259-6856. Please call back right now."
It was a female voice, but notice that she left no company name, no personal name--not even a first name. She is
quite convincing in voice as she implores you to call back to resolve a legal issue. But notice that she doesn't say that the legal issue actually involves you. It is just a legal issue. SCAM ALERT!
I have no legal issues....so this is a phishing call trying to entice gullible people to call back. DON'T DO IT!
Received the same message and called back. Reportedly the IRS legal department. Issuing warrant for arrest for non payment. Would not provide name or badge number. Reported call to IRS fraud bureau.
Same message left on my phone today around 11:45 am. I called number back a few min ago out of curiousity, there was a voice mail telling me to leave a message after the beep. Same voice as person that called and left message.
I received a similar call from this number saying it was about a "vewy" important issue... and that if I am too busy to call back, to have my attorney call back for me or else it would "end up in a legal mess" for me. The caller said his name Mike Hall from the Department of Treasury about an enforcement action spotted on my name. Needless to say, the male caller sounded foreign, and spoke very broken English.
