Yet another IRS/Legal Affairs scam "threatening" legal action against "you." Do not fall for it. Do not call it back. Caller ID shows it as a California number, but you know it's a spoofed number since the person on the other end of the call is from India with a HEAVY Hindi accent. Wise up people! Don't be fooled! This is NOT the IRS, and legal action is NOT being taken against you. In order for ANYONE to do anything regarding a court of law against you, they must serve you papers to your home either through a certified letter that you must SIGN FOR, or through a police officer/warrant officer, again, who will come to your door to serve you with papers. A phone call alone means NOTHING!!! These people are just trying to scare you. Even if they have your name, it means NOTHING.
Oh, this guy called himself "Officer Ricky Stevens," and claimed his badge number is 1152. Yeah, right. His English SUCKED, and another way he identified himself as a fraud is by wishing me a "blessed day," at the end of the message. No RIGHTFUL agent of the court or lawyer, or police officer, or FBI, or IRS agent is going to wish you a blessed day. A lying scum fraudster from India, however, will.
Sidenote: This site really needs to add "Fraud" or "Scam" or both to the call type, because "prank call," just doesn't cover this garbage.
