"ToAttempt to avoid initial appearance before magistrate judge or grand jury for a federal criminal. Of fence. Now this is final attempt to reach you. To know your case # and to speak to a Federal Agent call back 585-300-4278."
The caller never asked for me by name. This is obviously a scam meant to scare people into divulging personal information of some kind.
I did not call the number (281-949-6101) and instead am reporting this scam.
I received a call from the same number 3 hours later and it showed as coming from Greece they left a voice message with the same number for me to call back for claim information. I called back and asked to be removed from the call list. The same man answered the phone as I spoke to before (he had an accent) I asked again to be removed from the list he said "but I've missed you" the call was highly unusual and unprofessional. I informed the individual I did not want to be called again, he said "ok talk to you later."
"This call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. I am officer Lauren Matthew from Internal Revenue Service and the hotline to my division is 347-560-5191. I repeat it's 347-560-5191. Do not disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Goodbye and take care."
According to the Internet this is a IRS scam.
