Another nasty scam caller that left a voice mail message stating that the US Treasury Dept. is coming after me for money owed...total BS of course. Number blocked.
Same threatening call (at 845 AM) from Kevin Mason saying there is a legal problem except it has a twist. Did not give a call back number, instead said to press 1 to speak to a legal representative or 2 to have charges brought against me. I pressed 1 to speak to their guy and give him a hard time but the line went dead.
The IRS does not initiate contact via a phone call, they first send postal letters.
The IRS does not threaten arrest.
The IRS does not demand immediate payment over the phone.
The IRS does not ask for Credit card, Debit card, or prepaid money card information, at all.
It is a scam ran by offshore criminals attempting to trick you into sending them money.
Hang up and report the call here:
