Repeated calls from "COLORADO CALLER" - (719) 219-8429 - with no message left.

Received repeated messages at our office from "Leslie Harris" at this number this week, asking to speak to the "person responsible" about "federal tax issues." When I called back, the outbound machine message did NOT reflect that this was an IRS office, but DID ask for "business owner" to leave message on a certain extension, so I hung up immediately, concluding it was a scam. Later, my naive husband DID return the call, despite my telling him to ignore it, and reported that "Leslie" said she was calling about "delinquent payroll taxes" and claimed that a "lien of $6000" had been placed against our business.  All of this is, on the face of it, TOTAL BS.

This is a debt collector acting illegally, because she lied, misrepresented herself totally and never stated that her call was related to an attempt to collect a debt.  The company owning this phone number apparently bought a list of companies which the state of Florida claims owe fees lateness in filing state corporate tax returns ($150 penalty).  This call was research to discover if company was still operating and other intelligence that could help in collecting.

I have received 20-30 calls from this number too. 719-219-8429 saying she (leslie harris) was working with a group of licensed IRS agents to recover money owed from a "941 payroll withholding lien".  She said she doesn't have any info other than the amount my company appearently owes "over $6,600" and that I need to call another 800 number to find out what it is regarding. When I spoke with her, she stated that she could help me reduce the amount I owed.  I told her I did not owe money to the IRS or anyone else and would like more details at which point she gave me a number to the IRS 800-829-4933

I called and talked to the IRS for about an hour verifying what I already knew. I didn't owe any money!

They gave me this email address to report these kinds of scams: phishing@irs.gov

Maybe you should email them too.

Scammers should be taking to a firing line and shot in the head!  Come on America, this is not what makes America great, grow up!

i also received a call from her saying she was calling about my company's taxes and it was critical that I return the call. Luckily, I always google a number I do not recognize so certainly will not return the call. same thing - Leslie Harris.

Leslie Harris scammer called us too. I immediately recognized it was a scam call. She said the company name is The Phoenix Group.
