I received two of the same messages on my answering machine - very serious tone, saying that the call was in reference to US Treasury or Grand Jury action. The call was to "help me". I dialed back once and received a garbled message. I wish I had done the google search on the number and read this feedback first. I hate the fact that they now received a callback from my number. Thank you to all that posted their comments - it helps me confirm the suspicions that this was a bogus call and puts my mind to rest.
Left a really threatening message about an action executed by the treasury and something about the IRS and grand jury offense. Seriously! I know we overpaid the IRS. If I hadn't already known about this scam this could be really worrying.
Yup, just got home and had that same call on my machine! Called back and was told that I made a mistake on my taxes in 2012. IRS supposedly sent 2 letters in 2013 and turned matter over to Treasury Department. I did not believe it. Told him so and he said he would call local PD as soon as we hung up and they would come arrest me in about 45 minutes! I admit it, my heart was not steady! But my son typed in the phone number to the search bar and all this popped up and I feel much better, thank you all! Almost want to call him back and let him have a piece of my because now I am angry!
This is my second post - Could not believe it, this person actually called again and left the same message. I called back and it rang for quite a while before he picked up. I was not polite. Basically I asked him to loose my phone number NOW! And oh yeah by the way, obviously I police have not stopped by yet and it has been over 45 minutes...unbelievable!
