This person who claims to be Marcus Howard with the IRS Fraud division is calling telling people they owe the IRS 30,000 to 40,000 and that they are being charged with multiple felony charges.
I don't know who or why these calls from numbers like this one and this particular phone number continue to call incessantly, but I would like for them to leave our household alone!!! How do numbers like this get to be unlisted, but I have to endure their harassment?
Sent a blank text message to my cell phone.
I also received 2 others back to back at the same time & them too blank. I think they're all in the same boat working together.
Sent me a blank text from their cell phone.
Area code might be Louisiana, but the call is coming from Dayton Ohio (traced)
I received 3 text messages back to back at the same time. This is why I think these other 2 listed below are related to this one, their text messages were blank as well.
Suspect this is a scammer. Caller, with heavy foreign accent, said he was with the Federal court system and had a claim for us and to call back to this number.
Had a missed call from this number at 6:49 am. Called it back, and a guy said it was the IRS. Not sure, but I assume it is a fraud attempt. Called the IRS 800 number, but they were not open at that hour.
Called and requested I send money to bail family member out of jail. Fortunately I found out it was a scam because the western union would not let me send the money to the acct # I was given. I spend 5 hours getting money together and trying to send before I went to the Police Dept and found out it was a scam. These people need to be put in jail.
Caller falsely represents self as law enforcement officer with "Civil Processing"--tries to extort funds from people called. If challenged, he re-identifies self as a "Red Lobster" restaurant and tells you that "you" have the wrong number!
Multiple calls from this number. Called them back and was able to speak with a very courteous rep who indicated she would remove my number from their records.
As far as I know they go by Solar Time and want to SELL you 'free' solar panels on your roof. But they want your credit score and income history and your electric bills and how much your mortgage is before they will let you know if you are eligible for 'free' solar panels. I guess it is a rip off but do not know more than this.
Caller ID showed Little Rock, AR.

No voice mail left, when attempting to return call the message states "not a valid number". Other comments indicate this is a credit card phishing number.
This number continues to call my cell phone and when you ask who is calling (as they ramble it off 90 miles per hour in a heavy, foreign accent)they habng up on you after leaving a message saying they have a pending lawsuit against you. A number of my coworkers are also receiving this scammer call? Beware, do not reply or call back...this is a hoax.
Caller indicates you are being sued, law suit filed against you. When you call the number to ask who this is, they hang up. Repeated calls throughout the day to cell numbers by this caller, fraud alert!!!!
Multiple calls that sound like a robo caller. Left message stating it's "time sensitive" and ends the call with "Good bye and take care". Doesn't sound legit but cannot find any information on the number. Number comes up as "private". If they can call anyone on the DO NOT CALL list, we should be able to look them up to determine if they are legit, for a return phone call. Until then, no answer!, no return call!
