Description

Hi, my name is Jessica with Encore Funding. Today is "date". I'm following up on the notice we sent out regarding your pre-aproved person funding to resolve qualifying balances of your tax debt linked to your account "my phone #" This may be our only attempt to reach you, and it's critical that you speak with someone today. Please call right away at 8335967452 and reference code --. This is the 3rd similar message I've received in a week. I called them back from my office number and was asked repeatedly, "oh, you got a call from us?" when answering with "I did" they just asked again, but never took my "account" when I told them I had it for reference. One call I answered and they wanted me to pay $17000 for "back taxes".. I do my taxes every year through a tax service and check my IRS account quarterly, so NO, you're not scamming me! These calls need to stop. We block them and block them, but they still get through!
