855-393-4946

Just called my husband and said he had a tax number that my husband needed to call him by 8pm est. Time

I tried to call this number back and talked to an ashley. When I tried to get there busness name she said it too quickly so I asked again  so I could write it down. She wouldnt spell it out for me a second time and hung up. This was the number they called from but the messege left was from an automated number 1-855-755-4938. She ashley said something about them being from some affirmation firm.

Just called my phone for my husband and left the same recorded messege and same voice with a different file number now

I received a call from the above phone number and I asked which company he was from?  He told me to listen and called me "stupid", I called back a couple of times and finally was told that the company's name was CNG Group from New York. From the types questions I was being asked, I suspect they are a collection agency. To show you the type of company they are, most respectable companies do not call the people they call "stupid". Keep track of any insults you get from this company and I would suggest making a complaint to the Better Business Bureau.

I looked up a cng group online and all they show are sites for gas and fuel stuff. I cant find s direct place for a cng group that they say there with. Maybe im looking in the wrong places. The phone numbers show up as either a cell or unpublished. Or they cant be found.

Called me and said that I owed 380 to a loan that was never paid. She was rude and said the company was Cohen Greenman and Associates.....nothing found on internet at all about company. Supposedly going to serve me with court papers

I believe.its a scam. They had some of my information but they cant be located she was rude and who says I can pay with a prepaid card fake I reported them

Ashley Green
Cohen Greenman Associates

Fake fake FAKE!! People know your rights! If you do not get anything in writing first, never, under any circumstances send ANYONE any personal information. Report them to the FTC. Oh and they are NOT  a BBB Accredited Business. They are not even on the internet.

This company doesn't exist. The fact that they refuse to clearly identify themselves, is a clear sign this is an illegal outfit. Also if they are not willing to send documentation that you owe a specific company and dollar amount it is illegal. Please send any information to your Attorney General office as well as record the conversations. Be sure to let them know their call is being recorded for legal purposes.
Please report any type of illegal or suspicious calls and/or activity.

Told me my tax number is no longer existing that I need to call them back by 8:00 P.M.

I got a call about my taxes.  I called and spoke with "Nicole". Who informed me that I owed on a payday loan and that they would be sending paperwork to " the judge" and my local police dept for arrest.  First if all I have never received anything in the mail from this alleged company and secondly this is civil only not criminal and they gave to file to have paperwork served from the local sheriff of a pending court date.  When I called back to get Attorney Cohen's NY Bar ID #  Nicole said she would call me back which she never did.  I called back spoke with Nicole and was hung up on.  I then spoke with Steve Meyers who also claimed to be an attorney.  He would not provide the address of the office nor his bar ID and began to insult me. I seriously doubt these are professional anything!

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting.

“This scam has hit taxpayers in nearly every state in the country.  We want to educate taxpayers so they can help protect themselves.  Rest assured, we do not and will not ask for credit card numbers over the phone, nor request a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer,” says IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel. “If someone unexpectedly calls claiming to be from the IRS and threatens police arrest, deportation or license revocation if you don’t pay immediately, that is a sign that it really isn’t the IRS calling.” Werfel noted that the first IRS contact with taxpayers on a tax issue is likely to occur via mail
Other characteristics of this scam include:
Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves.
Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security Number.
Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling.
Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.
Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim.
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do:
If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1.800.829.1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue – if there really is such an issue.
If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1.800.366.4484.
If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov.  Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments of your complaint.
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information.  This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the e-mail to phishing@irs.gov.

More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

this number called my husband claiming he would be served with fraud papers.
When we called back they wanted his debit card info saying he would owes $380 and if he pays it will all be taken care of. He of course did not give them his information. I later called back asking for their address and the attorneys bar # -- they refused to give it to me and hung up on me several times.

Received a call on last Friday saying I owe st Armand's $350. The guy Paul Murphy was pretty rude. I was already paying another company for this same group who advised that st Armand's were closed 2 years ago. But this Cohen Greenman and associates was nothing but rude. I had already paid this back earlier this year, I have my paid in full letter so I called back, couldn't get Paul and was sent to a "senior" who was absolutely out of control which the lady from the previous company told me they would be. I cannot find any information on this company at all.

Has anybody ever actually had a guy come to there home and claim to be looking for somebody else. And when you tell him you dont know that person or theyve never lived there; they say that they must have not recieved the right address.  Can process servers fake who they are and just to watch you. We still keep getting calls.

Unlikely.   Process servers do just that--hand you court papers, under the rules of the state in which they are working.   It looks as if you are being threatened with service of process and it looks bogus.   These people are most likely trying to scare you into paying money on non-existent debts.  

Tell them, if they have a valid debt to send you a debt validation letter and it must be by US mail.  E-mail no good.

If anyone is standing outside your house and just staring at your house then you'd have to call the police.  Report a prowler.

But I don't think that'd happen in your case.
