I answered, it was an Indian man, who said he was an a criminal investigator for the IRS, he said his name was Eric Frost. I said OK what am I being investigating for? He said theirs a lawsuit against me for unpaid taxes from on-the-job amount of $1,098. I said I never received a bill or anything he Yea u have I said nope I haven't. That I looked up his number and this was a scam. He hung up I called back and asked why he hung up if I wasn't correct. I told him I'm going to report him he said go ahead no one will find him. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS HE IS A FRAUD AND ADMITTED IT!
I received one call from this numberand two from another today. I know all about this scam and numbers are blocked. The IRS will NEVER call you on the phone about any overdue taxes. All done via correspondence. How do I know this? I used to work for them. It's NOT how they do business. IRS has Federal authority to seize and freeze assets for unpaid taxes should it come to that drastic measure. They do not need to call you and make threats.
We were on hold waiting to discuss our taxes return with IRS when this number 919-400-6572 called in, but did't leave a message. Mike called them back and they claimed to be a division of the IRS in the tax evasion department. Lol. When we asked them to clarify who they were calling for and who they actually were, we were hung up on. Of course, we called back, this time only to find out that they're a Majic Jack customer, using a NC area code for a phone number. This is the 3rd or 4th timed they've called and seems to happen around same time we're calling into IRS.
Just received a call from this number as well; The man with an Indian-sounding accent indicated that he is with the "Criminal Investigations Unit" and that I was being sued. He asked for my attorney's information. I asked him to send me a letter, and he said "Okay. Letter will go out tomorrow".
Per IRS instructions on phone scams, I will be reporting this to the FTC complaint assistance program. http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam
