same as above threatening criminal prosecution for something unknown to me .....scam scam scam no reference to IRS on my call robo call
Male caller stated he was calling on behalf of the IRS. Threats made of an arrest warrant being issued and arrested within the next 30 minites. Stated I would need a criminal law attorney. Beginning of call was cut off just like others reported. I asked his name. He stated his name was Jack Douglas with the department of legal affairsfor the U.S. treasury office. He stated his badge ID number was IRN2819 . He even provided a case ID number. He sounded like he was in a telemarketing room then sounded like he was outside because I could hear the wind blowing .
Here is the message I received from this number:
'Hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as the situation totally unfolds on you. Goodbye.'
This number calls my cell phone, talks about a criminal lawsuit, time senstive, urgency, need for an attorney, owing money to IRS. Nobody in my household is neither a criminal, nor owes the IRS any money. We hang up and they immediately dial the landline with the same information on a robot recording. I've reported this to the US Treasury - IRS, also.
Impersonating the IRS. The first part of the message did not get recorded, as it's a robot and they don't wait for the 'beep' before recording. I've reported this to the United States Treasury - IRS, also.
