Bull!!!

This number is a legitimate California Franchise Tax Board contact. I received a call today from this number and was skeptical, as he asked for my address and the last 4 of my social. As he could cite specific information from a letter that I had sent to CA FTB, I engaged in the conversation. I was never asked for any other info. Afterwards, I called the CA FTB at their 800 number, and I was reassured that the person was in fact an employee calling about my letter. So this number is legitimate

Just received another call from a Mohammed this time, saying he was from the "Franchise Tax Board". He asked for my address and last four digits of my SS#. I told him that I was advised by my local police department not to give that information over the phone and that from what I understood to be true was that government offices do not call you, they send a letter. I also told him that he could write down whatever it is he wanted to talk to me about, send a letter and I would answer accordingly. I told him that when I tried to call this number back it would not go through and he told me to call the "Franchise Tax Board" to verify. I told him I felt this was a scam and I would wait to get the letter from them. I tried and couldn't verify this number. He said that he would write the letter and I could answer when I got it.

A man named Jay claimed to be with the franchise tax board and he was assigned my case. I told him the IRS does not call people and that this is a fraudulent. I hung up on him. I believe it's just another scam.

called back and doesn't go through did not leave a vm

Not going through when I called back. It is most likely a SCAM attempt.

Cheryl called claiming to be at station #2193 Return Warrant Department. She said I couldn't call the number back but she would call me the next day. I gave her no information but she knew my tax payments, check number and dates. Then she ended it with I hadn't done my taxes for 2018 which is absolutely not true.

I received a called from “Ricky” claiming to work for the FTB. The number he called on cannot receive calls. He left another number to return the call. 916-845-6897. Who would call from the Franchise Tax Bureau and say their name is Ricky?
