CBE Group claiming to be a collections agency for the IRS. I verified that indeed there is a company hired by the IRS to do exactly that. However, the phone number listed for them is different from the one that called me.

They knew my name, and my phone number (Obviously). When I pressed them for verification information for what city and state I was in, they could not tell me.

This number does not match that of the CBE Group that is advertised by the IRS. They do not provide any information to verify who they are. They cannot confirm any information outside of your name and phone number (Which any of us can get over the open web). Plus, they have not called back when I told them "Okay, you're a scam, but you have a nice day"

I don't know who this is & they call often. I don't answer numbers that I don't know.

It is a collections company called the CBE Group out if IA, that the IRS uses. They are brutal and will hound you to death. They will even contact your family members, your neighbors, your friends and even your employers all past and present to get to you. You will need to send them a 'cease and desist' letter telling them to stop or you will go to the FTC and to the attorney general and you will press criminal and civil charges against them.

Left threatening voicemail and said a complaint is being against my name and social security number. Must call back within 24 hours or they are sending the complaint to the district court
