SPAM TEXTS PHISHING LINKS SMS SCAM
Got a crappy voice mail that my "vehicle property" is under investigation by the IRS and that I must call before they issue an arrest warrant.
Not how the system works. Not real. And i don't currently own a vehicle.
They left a message and told me that i will be under arrest within 1 hour and that i have to call back
832-487-7411 is not an IRS number. But pretends to be one and the guy threatens to have FBI monitor my house and my movement! WOW! Had to call the foreign sucker a son of b**** to get him off the phone!
