They called and left voicemail saying my social security was involved in some fraud and my social security will get cancelled. I called right back and they said it was social security office and that I owed the IRS $5,000 us dollars, I said "sure i want to pay now are you ready to get my card information?" the man said (with a strong Indian accent) Are you home or at your office? You can go to your nearest store and I’ll give you a voucher number to send it to. I lied and said I worked for the FBI and that I was going to track him down. Then he hung up. They kept calling from the same number about 4 times the next couple days but when I answered they would hang up and I would call back but machine said that number was not in service.

To Whom It May Concern:
This afternoon at 3 pm I received a call from 1-888-319-2784 asking for me by name.
The man told me that he was calling from Washington, DC, the IRS Office and that he had information in front of him that states I owe money to the IRS.
When I was adamant that I did not owe the IRS any money and that if he needed to take this any further he could contact my Attorney, he hung up!
I believe this is the "SCAM" that our Local News reported on earlier this week. If it is, it involved people buying ITune Cards.
It is my hope that by notifying you about what happened to me and the telephone number for this person, some way it can help stop this from happening to someone who wouldn’t think as quick as I did or would be afraid it is a representative from the IRS and loose some money.
