Description

I received a call from a purported law firm alerting me to a tax lien on a property from 2001. She stated that she had been hired by the tax collector's office in *** **** ***y, **. She noted that they were planning to 'garnish my wages' and file suit against me for the outstanding taxes due. I informed the woman that I was divorced from the co-owner, and we jointly sold the property in 2007. She stated that none of that mattered, that the title wasn't 'clean' and I needed to make the proper payments. She had my SSN, my address and my current name. I asked for the name of the tax collector, which she declined for "client privacy." The contact was aggressive and threatening. I chose to end the call and contacted the tax office in *** **** ***y, **. They confirmed there are NO taxes due; there is NO lien; and that the sale and title of the property were appropriately transferred in 2007. Please advise on how to report this activity.
