Got a call from this number today. Actually, was from a 800 number to start with. They left a message at hubby's place of employment stating that they were going to garnish his wages, because we owe the state of Louisiana over $3,000 in back taxes. Which is NOT TRUE. I called back left a VM on that 800 line they then called me back from this number 740-457-5055. I said don't call him at work again, asked him if this was in reference to a back tax bill he said yes, it's for 2006. I said validate the bill, he said no you have to do the research. I told him you can't threaten to garnish wages, unless you validate the bill? I said there is no way we owe $3,000 STATE back taxes from 2006. This guy told me to do to the research to find out what bill they are fixing garnish from? What the hell kind of bogus [***] bill collector does this crap? scarey thing is he read off hubby social security number to a perfect read, however by law he can't do anything till we're summoned. I am not worried anyways, bill collector doesn't validate, you can't threaten, end of story. I'm so tired of scammers!
