I guess if you owe taxes and didn't pay yet, the govt releases your info to companies that handle debt consolidation or bankruptcies. The call I got was from Fresh Start and it was an automated call. The good thing about this, if it actually works, is that you get an option at the end of the call to have your number removed by pressing "7". But with the govt releasing information, I'll bet the people receiving my information already sold it to other groups. Hmmm. Privacy Act? Is the govt breaking a law? How else would they know that I owed money in taxes?
