Person calling from 786-398-9367 called me and left a message stating he was "Officer Kevin Falkner"... he said he was a special IRS agent.
I called him he said I needed a criminal lawyer, as the IRS had sent two notices to my home address, both of which had been returned to the office in Miami FL. An agent would be coming to serve me papers allegedly between 3-4 p EST today.
I called my local police department and the dispatcher assured me that this was a scam, but if someone did knock at the front door today, call 911 and an officer would be at my house within minutes (I live minutes from the PD).
My mom received a call yesterday from this KEVIN FOSTER. He said he was a investigator with the IRS and my mom would receive a summons in the morning and if she wasn't there to receive it, she would be locked up for 90 days. He said she owed $3213 dollars to the IRS and she had two options (1) to resolve the issue through an OIC (OFFER IN COMPROMISE). OR (2) Be home the next morning to receive a summons and take it to court, but she would most likely be convicted of tax fraud, as the IRS had substantial proof.
What a nerve wrecking call this was. I took the call for my mom and I wrote all this information down, bc the man sounded fairly official. I agreed for my mom to do the OIC, and he kept asking when I could pay. I told him to give me the address to where I would pay it, and he wouldn't. He kept making me say that we agree and she would resolve it with an OIC and he made me give him an amount that would be paid. Well, he kept saying he would go to the "higher authority" to check if they would accept the money we would put down. While he did this, I gave my mom the phone and went on another phone and called his number. His voicemail was very unofficial. Then I called my local police department and they told me to hang up on the guy; that this is a scam aimed towards older people. Lucky for us, we didn't get scammed, but we almost did because it sounded so official. And even with knowing that you're not guilty of something, the guy made it sound like you were. He even listed all the charges - Count 1 , 2, 3, 4 under what would be considered Tax Fraud.
Okay so this guy called our homephone saying he was from the IRS claiming someone made a claim in our name and we need to call before he takes any legal action against us, honestly we believed it at first but when he ended the call with, "have a blessed day" we knew it was fake. Everyone please report this Dude here and to the authorities so he doesn't do anymore damage than he must've already created.
this 786-398-9367 kevin a-hole has got to be shut down. Obama f'ing IRS can you do anything to stop this crap or are you too busy investigating the tea party??
