Scammer tried to rent me out a house for $1000 when listed on a realtor website for $1865. He put in time and effort by providing me a code to unlock the house and view it and I almost believed him.

Type of a scam Debt Collections
This gentleman calls (Anthony) and informs me he is an investigator. He is looking at a case against me about magazines that i promised to pay for back in 1998 that i did not (but actually I did!!). According to him they are planning to proceed with the case against me unless I pay money today. This is now the second time I have gotten this call. First time was a lady and I told her to proceed. That was back in March and nothing ever came of it. Now they have gone to the extent to call my place of employment and telling them I have legal issues, that I do not have. The number is out of New York and debit collectors do not go back over 20 years and deferentially do not hire investigators.

A man, Anthony ext. 1756214, called me three times today claiming to be the IRS. Stated that I owed $3,600 for five years of tax filings. They asked who did my taxes and how much money I could pay. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he stated that there would be a warrant out for my arrest. I said I would not give any informaiton and he hung up. He gave a case number, DC1928.
