We received several phone calls from 409-209-9863. They identified themselves as State Bureau of Texas. They asked for an employee who did work here at the time of the original phone call. He stated in that call that my employees boyfriend was being investigated for fraud.
While this employee no longer works here, we received another phone call from this same number. They stated their name as Alex Jefferson but they had a mid-eastern accent which was difficult to understand. The connection was horrible. When we told them she did not work here they stated we were covering up for this employee and they threatened to investigate my company for fraud. This is how I got involved. I then called the number and asked for clarification as to who they are. They refused to answer my questions but kept saying he was from the State Bureau of Texas. Because of the accent I asked if he was saying Texas or taxes. He got angry and just kept repeating himself. I told him that we had received a threat from their office and I was trying to get to the bottom of it. I gave him the name Alex Jefferson who he said he did not know that person. I gave him my phone number and he said they had not called it. He was incredibly beligerant and non-forthtelling. In my frustration told him he was crazy and he hung up. I am very concerned over these harrassing phone calls and that they have my company name, former employee name, her boyfriends name, and my phone number. I do not know what to do as I feel afraid.
