Description
A message was left on my cell from a woman who identified herself as Lindsay Johnson from Active Aid (or Activate) Center informing me that "it looks like you owe some back taxes" and that I was eligible for my tax debt to be forgiven through the "Full Tax Forgiveness Program" and that through this program all my back taxes would be deemed non collectable. She said I needed to call her to fill out an application, and that if I wasn't interested I should call anyway and press 2 to be taken off the list. The number she called from according to my caller ID is 205 885 5056. The number she said to call her back at was 877 218 9287. I have a tax accountant. I have an online account with the IRS. I have no tax debt. Obviously a scam. I received a similar call a few weeks ago but I just deleted the message.
