(470) 200-0082 Robo call recorded 12 September 2016 ("Kevin Mason" calling "regarding an enforcement action executed by the US Treasury intending your serious attention...") SCAM (readers, try not to laugh, a mistake of theirs gets even better)
Caller ID: "Belleville NJ"
A call threatening Federal criminal legal action from US Treasury impersonators riddled with awkward English and demonstrating lack of knowledge of legal suits and court proceedings.
It is easy to see that these recordings are foreign scammers calling because of peculiarities in their wording (they pronounce the letter "v" more like the letter "w", peculiar to India and Russia) that sounds more like a non native English speaking person.
Anybody with half a brain cell working would probably know immediately that the call is not from the US Treasury, but then again, there are a lot of gullible people out there answering their telephones, so I guess scammers like these are able to stay in business.
Calls himself "Kevin Mason", a good Anglo name. How clever he is, just listen to his brilliant opening sentence: "This message is intended to contact you." Duh...
FLASH! I detected a gross error on his part. Previous calls always provide a call back number that is the same number as the robo call that called you, but this call, from a number ending in 8252, asks you to return the call to a number ending with 8225. I think they are going to be plenty surprised when they discover that they are not receiving any call backs from this round of threatening calls! Dummies!
Oh, and how about their brilliant opening sentence: "This message is intended to contact you." Duh...
"[male with slight British English accent voice] "Hi, this message is intended to contact you. My name is Kevin Mason and I'm calling regarding an enforcement action executed by the US Treasury intending your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for a Federal criminal offense. My number is (973) 528-8225. I repeat (973) 528-8225. I'd wike you to cooperate with us and help us to help you. Thank you."
