Don't be so gullible. This is a scam call dialed at random via a computer program. If they happen to catch someone who actually does have a collectible debt (I do not and they called me, as well), the criminals can then collect your credit card number and empty your bank account.

Think about it. If this was actually a city official, he or she would leave a number for you to call and tell you what the issue was. Haven't you ever had a scam call before?

Calls from this number are not from ANY city department. Each department has its own number. A call claiming to be from all of them, as well as from SF General Hospital — which is not run by the city — a man asking about his wife and child,  and a woman named Olga are obviously either poorly constructed scams or the actions of somebody with nothing better to do.

No. It was NOT the SF tax collector's office. Call the office yourself by looking it up on the city's website and you will be told that no call was made. Please don't be one more scam victim.
