Someone who sounded just like the Shawn Tyler guy (both with a middle eastern accent) but a different name (I was in my car and was not able to write down his information) only verified me by my full name and cell number. Which was the first red flag for any company since normally they ask for more information such as a birthday.
He said I have a complaint to my name because I did not file a "Student Federal Tax" I asked to explain this. I file every year with H & R Block online, also notate I'm a student, all my 1098-T's and so forth. It's impossible I did not pay any and all taxes related to being a student. He said he could not answer many of my questions. It took some time to understand what this call was about. I finally asked how much to pay and he said $1,509 (or maybe it was 1059 something like that) after the amount due and late fees. I was beyond angry and confused how are there late fees if I never heard of this now, never got ANY letters, and taxes aren't even due until the 16th of this month?! He said it wasn't filed with taxes its just a form to file after I graduate and it's a one time thing. This seemed even odder to me, I have graduated with an AS as well back in 2011 so why not pay then? (I didn't share that of course they seemed sketchy and I didn't want them to have more information since I felt like this was a scam.) They processed to insist I pay, and threatened it would ruin my credit score. After a while of not answering more questions I told him I'm contacting my tax professional (a local H&R Block office) and will get back to them, that if anything was filed wrong then it should fall onto H & R, plus my school (U of M Twin cities) never mentioned this to me before. I decided to call my school first, and the Financial aid office confirmed this is a scam and there is no such this as a Federal Student Tax, and they have gotten several calls about this.
I tired to call them back, I wanted to know how they got my full name, cell phone number (which I believe should be an unlisted number) and knew I graduated last year. However it rang for about two minutes before a machine kicked in and said they had a high volume of calls and to call back later.
