I get a scam phone call almost daily, usually they claim it is a payday loan or IRS, today was IRS and I felt like playing with these people. Here is the robo call voicemail. So I call them and a guy answers as officer something and gives me a fake badge number. I always google every non-local number and if I see a 800notes.com entry for you I know it is a telemarketer or scammer.
So the guy tells asks for my name and zip code so I gave him the wrong name and zip, put me hold for a minute and said the IRS case # 80-2059 has caused an arrest warrant to be placed for my arrest. Oh no, so scared lol. So I asked him why are cops dealing with IRS issues, they have auditors for that? Also said my husband works at IRS and I will ask him. He said that case number won't be seen at the IRS, it is already forwarded to only his office.
He said this is a very serious matter and an arrest warrant is out. I asked in what jurisdiction? I said since you are an officer saying I could be arrested you have to tell me what local police office has the arrest warrant been placed? He sounded frustrated and said I need to put you on hold. 10 seconds later, the call was disconnected.
