Got a separate call earlier in the week (530-208-0685) from what HAS to be the same guy (not to stereotype)… This time (SAT at around NOON, PST, calling from 425-209-1032) I went off on him, when I should have just not picked up the phone (he was in the middle of leaving a message).
But, same story as earlier in the week… Scam guy (SUPER thick accent w/bad phone connection, and numerous others talking in background) claims to be w/IRS and that I have probs w/my taxes, in past years. I ask him if he mailed anything, and he says they did repeatedly (impossible). I ask him to tell me the last 4 digits of my SS# and he says he's "not authorized, only a senior member can do that." He tells me to call JOHN ANDERSON (from the band YES, no doubt); I tell him to mail stuff again; no way I'm giving tax info over phone to a random guy when no caller ID info shows up, other than this number. And yes, he was super aggressive. SCAM!!!!!!
Go here to report issue to the US TREASURY:
