Victim Location 86003
Type of a scam Other
Recieved a call from “Jack Wilson, Badge ID ES2468” Stating that due to 9 errors in IRS filing, my wife (homemaker, no actual income) owed $8,248 dollars and that “the local sheriff has an arrest warrant if you hang up.”
I took the phone and asked for a Supervisor, he said I didn’t have authority to request one. (red flag 1)
I asked for his field office, he gave the the FBI headquarters. (red flag 2)
I asked for my local area Sheriff Department. He told me he didn’t have the information. (red flag 3)
I gave the phone back to my wife and used my phone to call the nearest FBI branch office who advised me to hang up. The “agent” hung up prior to me insulting them and the phone number is 206-823-3353, likely to be taken down by now.
