It's a scam they've been calling my sister saying she owes 33000 on taxes in one year somehow they got my number trying to convince me to get hold of my sister I figured something was up so I looked up this number and it's from New York BS they didn't give me any info who they were

Got a call from a "Miranda" who said she was located in upstate New York and that she was reaching out to me in regards to a name I don't even know, claimed to have my birthday last 4 digits of my social and age and a house my name is on...I don't even own a house, once I denied everything she said and played dumb she got aggravated and hung up

This same number keeps calling me asking if i know some one with the same last name.

Got a call from "Miranda O'Toole" extremely rude asking I negotiate a settlement from a debt from 16yrs ago or she would send a 1099-C to IRS. I told her go ahead I don't owe that money and I will deal with it with IRS, she got furious, cursed at me and hung up. Do not give this place a dime! Scammers

Got a call from a Mir O'Toole, Said I was being processed  for 1099C in the amount of $41,000. I have gotten rude and obnoxious calls from this collection agency in the past 2 years. Always threatening to report me to the IRS. They have even called my significant other demanding to speak to me. Don't be fooled by their antics! The number is from upstate New York.

I got a call from the same lady here at my work. Saying I took out a Credit Card with Best buy. I have never had a credit card with best buy in my life. She was extremely rude to me...called me all sorts of names...called me fat and ugly. I have never in my life been treated that way. Told me I was going to be getting a 1099C. First of all....the only person who can issue a 1099C is the original lender. Not these people. Second of all, it is only for the cancelled debt amount. You have to have cancelled your debt with the lender. You have to make an agreement with the lender not some shady 3rd party so called "help." What is scary is these people have all your information. Which sucks, because with all the security breaches from major retailers and stuff, I am sure that is where they picked this up from. I am sorry, but to sit there and tell me I spoke with someone in Feb. about this, when I know I never had a Best Buy credit card in my life....much less any major retailers credit card, that just let me know I was dealing with a fake person. Also, if they think they are billy bad [***] enough to send me a 1099C with all THEIR information on it, I will be more than happy to send all of that over to the FBI, Attorney General, IRS and my local police department. SO, Ms. Miranda, "pumpkin"....who works for Pinnacle Asset with the phone number 716-677-3700...consider yourself warned. I am not scared of you...I know my rights, and I know what you are doing is illegal. I will be more than happy to turn my recording of your vile and malicious tactics over to the police department for them to talk to you.

Lady called. Knew my 4 last digits of my social security number and address. Scary..I thought it was real at first. She was trying to get in touch with my wife. Turns out she was leaving messages on my wife's phone. Wife said it was a scam. Said she owed $30000 about a city bank account she never had. And mentioned something about tax forms. What a bunch of BS. I blocked the number on my phone and will never answer a call that I don't know ever again.

Miranda left a msg stating they had documents w/ my name could be fraud & I was about to get hit w/ $30000 tax liability. Also said I should have got notice recently-if not call right away. Filing a 1099 c and would be in more trouble on the 1st. Blah blah.

Fri 5/5/17 ~330pm - 3 Calls originated from 716-677-3700, but had THREE DIFFERENT REASONS, and same callback # of 1 888 697-5556 x249, and SAME claim# - really, this was the 1st clue these people are phishing, and scamming.
I also received calls from a local #, 813-530-3017 (probably spoofed) referencing same callback # of 1 888 697-5556 x249 AND the SAME Claim #
-'lady' called my sister for needing to pass on some 'background check' information (have the VM, same voice as "Ms Miranda's later VM')
-'Miss Penny' called my husband abt a 1099c (only original debt holder can file)
-'Ms Miranda' left a VM - 'official legal documents and enforcement division' these people are just phishing for information

5/11/17 816pm rcvd recorded / robo combo  call from 813-530-3017, same callback # n 'claim/ref #' from the fri 5/8/17 330pm call (orig fr 716-677-3700)

5/12/17 1223pm called 813 539 3017 reqst my # put on DNC...lady 'what # is that?, yeah right, it's on the caller id.

This number called my work numerous times, claiming I was going to owe money to the IRS, and even attempted to call and speak with my HR rep. I have no idea who they are especially since they wouldn't answer that questions. Big SCAM.

i received a called from this number telling me that I owed irs and that my social security benefits will all be taken if I don't pay them.
