215-734-0229

This is a scam. Claim IRS is suing for unpaid taxes. CID was Backbone Commun. Called number back expecting it to be out of service but it was answered by a voice similar to the one that had called and left a message threatening me with legal action for unpaid taxes an hour earlier. The message included his name, Steve Martin, and a return number 1-213-401-2952.

Thank you for posting your message.  I got the exact same call and freaked out.  They told me that they were sending officers to arrest me.  I hung up before I got a chance to ask them what the specific charges were.  They said it had to do with the justice department and the IRS.

The real IRS mails letters if there is a problem.  Your caller was in India or Pakistan.  No one is coming!!

Got a similar call today - am.  Caller said his name was Steve Modern(?) Martin(?) - heavy accent.  It was regarding enforcement actions executed by the U S Treasury and it was a second attempt regarding a court appearance.
Return number was in L.A. area (213 401 2952).  Thanks for the other posts.  Bunch of crooks.  Stay away.

Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam! Scam!

Another one of my friends was getting these too. A real agency would always send legal notice in the mail if there was anything you had to follow up on. None of the real agencies have the man power to be making phone calls, nor would they. They would always expect you to call them when you got a true legal notice in the mail! Scam!

Got a call today around 10:00 AM all the same as previous reported Steve Modern heavy accent Eastern Indian accent was memorized talk, US Treasury 2nd attempt to call enforcing a warrant for treasury fraud or something like that.  Called back got the same guy and I told him I was calling from AZ Attorney General's Office and I would be visiting him soon!  I am sure I have started something awful, was going to call AZ police but couldn't figure out who to call may State Attorney General's office???

Got 2 calls from this number this morning.. No message.. Caller ID says Backbone Community... Stop calling ...

Got a similar call today - 7:00 am.  Caller had a heavy accent.  It was regarding enforcement actions executed by the U S Treasury and it was a second attempt regarding a court appearance.  

SCAM!  Do not call back, instead report the extortion attempt here:

Report to both the Treasury Department and the FTC as recommended in the second link.

Got 2 calls from this number this morning. Caller had a heavy accent.  It was regarding enforcement actions executed by the U S Treasury and it was a second attempt regarding a court appearance. Caller said his name was Steve  Martin - heavy accent.

Got a call this morning.  Same as all at the other comments.  The message they left never mentioned whom the call was intended for.  I heard about this scam.  

A scam for sure!  Have some fun with it.  I keep calling them back blocking my caller ID and torturing them until they hang up.  It's hilarious.  sometimes you will get VM so keep calling back.  It's fun to turn the tables.  To block caller id dial *67 before the number.  

Thank you for posting. It is scam.  I got two calls this morning.

My favorite part of this scam is the bit that "ignoring this call will be a second criminal offense"!  I'd be more impressed if they at least tried to sound real, this is pathetic.  The second best part is the first line, "This message is intended to reach you."   I'm reporting it, just the same.  Arrived from (215) 734-0229, said to call (213) 293-3920.

Getting a few calls every day from these number.  

Received 4 calls from this Steve Martin jerk. I am on every "Do Not Call List" - totally ineffective. Frustrating & disgusting.

This is the readable message recorded from the call ( 5 times over the past 3 days)
"Hi this message is intended to contact you. My name is Steve Martin and I'm calling regarding an enforcement actions executed by US treasury and intending(?) your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an additional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before the magistrate judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 213-293-3920. I repeat 213-293-3920. I had why you to cooperate with others and helpers to help you. Thank you."

Just got the same call. I let it go to answering machine. Said something about legal actions and going before a judge if I don't cooperate.  Not only was the accent not American,  but it also sounded electronic.

Caller said the were The Dept of Treasury and calling for over due taxes! What a bunch of CRAP!!
