Received a call on my WORK phone about a business tax matter relating to a business I closed over 2 years ago. Called said they had "good" news for me. Not sure how they got my work number--not even closely related to the number I had for that particular business. The person who called said her name was Amber Ptasments (???) and left the following number for me to call her back at: 800-363-5054 x 286 which is different from this number that came up on my caller ID and my voice mail. This doesn't smell right to me and I think it's a scam. The caller did NOT identify a company that she was with. I have saved the voice mail message on my work phone.

Called our store and said they were trying to read "Charles' Wine Shop', I apologized since that isn't the name of our business and before I could finish the sentence they hung up. Yikes. Probably a scam. I feel bad for Charles and his Wine Shop. Hope they guy doesn't end up finding them.

Calling place of business, used old owners name, stating about state tax matter.  This is second call; advised we have no tax matters with the state, he stated it is an old matter.  Adv'd would call the state then.  Received the second call today.  From Micheal Bond, 20-20 Financial, ext 143, call 800-363-5054.  However, caller ID is 720-974-9246.

I have been receiving hundreds of calls from Anthony Garcia of 20/20 financial. Wanted to speak with the business owner, regarding a tax matter with the state. I have no tax matters with the state. When I tried to question him where he got the information from he said he wasn't at liberty to say. I told him I had no tax matters with the state, and to stop calling. He said he was going to keep calling several times a day until we paid the bill. Again, I asked what bill...he hung up.  I then proceeded to contact my state division of taxation. They have advised me that this company, 20/20 finance, BBC company (by the way when I asked the caller what BBC stood for, he said it didn't stand for anything!), and Pioneer Credit are all scam companies and not to take their calls. The state requested all the information, times of calls, names, telephone numbers. I gave them what I had.

I received a call from the Anthony Garcia as well over the last few weeks. I reported this to our company attorney who called and told him to take us off his marketing sales list. They try to scare you with the IRS TAX LIEN and market his business as someone that can help you. I believe the hype, it's a sale scam. Call 720-974-9246, ext 288 and tell him to stop calling your number if he continues to call you, notify your attorney.
