Received a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be an IRS agent named Mike Johnson. He claimed that I was named in a case they were filing. This is obviously a scam.
Called and left a message saying his name was Officer Kevin Foster from IRS and that I should have my lawyer call him back and if we don't call him back, they'd take legal actions against us. I found it weird that they didn't say who they were calling for - three people live here- and when I called back they kept asking my name. I told them that they called me, so clearly they have my information, that they should have my name on file. Finally, he gave my dad's name, which is the name the phone is registered under. Sounds very much like a scam.
I got a message on cellphone from a Sgt. Mike Johnson. You can tell by his voice he is Iranian or Indian. He said I had a warrant for my arrest and it was very serious what I've been involved in. I was to call him immediately. I knew it was a scam because I've never been to Florida or arrested. And I find this odd that it came 3 days after I got a letter from the IRS that I was getting a REFUND for $7,119.84 when I'm on widows benefits and didn't even file. I called IRS found out mine and another person named on this letter are victims of identity theft.
Caller with Indian accent identified self as David Marshall claimed my cousin owed money to IRS said she would be arrested unless she paid. I have worked in high levels of the collection world for nearly 20 years and I knew this was a scam immediately. Told her not to worry. We are filing complaints with FTC, Attorney General's office for the state of WA and the IRS. This joker is obviously calling from another country with no worries about being arrested for fraud. This really cheeses me off since it gives the legitimate function of our industry an undeserved reputation.
I got a call from this "[***]" as well and the first thing I knew that made it a SCAM was the ACCENT and the HAVE A BLESSED DAY. When I called back and told "KEVIN" My attorney would like to take the conversation from here, he hung up on me. I have the number blocked. I didn't call back from the original phone he called so he couldn't trace back. FRICKEN INDIA [***] TRASH
