Got a vm with that call back number and decided to return the call in order to hopefully do my small part to cause a little pain to these asses. I spoke to a very-heavily accented gentlemen and provided him a fictitious name. He said, I m sorry, you have an outstanding warrant for not paying your federal taxes in 2011. I said, 'Oh my, how can this be? I am a law abiding citizen I always pay my taxes. This is terrible" after a few more back and forth the jackass said, "your total owed is $6,350". I asked how this was calculated? He sais this is what you owe. I said, " Hmm, was is the breakdown between interest, penalty and the actual amount. He said ," I don't know, but you owe this amount. I then replied, "What is the imputed interest rate? Did it move as the prime rate moved, or is it tied to LIBOR or some combination thereof?" At this point, Mr. Genius said that he did not know but a warrant had been sent for my arrest, and " If you disconnect this line it will be executed immediately!" " A warrant!" I replied. "What on earth I going to do" Where was the warrant delivered?".
He said " To your home". I said what address did they use? Did they use my regular address, or my time-share home?"
Jackass: "The address on file is in Brooklyn."
Me: Brooklyn NY?
Jackass: " Yes"
Me: But I never lived in Brooklyn. I don't even know where that is!
Jackass: " Well, what is your address?"
Me: 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Hollywood California.
As he begins to repeat the address back to me I decide it was time for the payback, and I launched into a tirade about ripping off innocent people and, which among other things, included threatening his various reproductive organs, after which I slammed the phone down.
Hope I made his day
Got their stupid threatening recording. Time to file online to the FCC. HAVE noticed when I do, all those damn calls stop.
I got the same call a few minutes ago. The guy had a heavy accent and I kept trying to admit that he was a scammer. When I told him that I am researching his number to check if it was genuine and that I know that Treasury or IRS will not call anyone by phone, he simply hung up. He did not give any specifics and kept saying that police will come and arrest me. He mentioned that there were errors in my 2011 filing.
The caller, who had a very heavy foreign accent, claimed to be from the US Treasury Department and threatened to prosecute for not paying the government. Definitely a SCAM!
Called me this morning from a Seatte #206-708-2849 and said that it was Dennis Quaid and to call him back at 818-474-2202 or I would be arrested for something....I made them play the recording over and over 4x's before it automatically hung up.
