IRS Scam March 06, 2024

Barbara from fresh start won't stop calling about help with taxes. She asks for Gregory sometimes. My name is not Gregory. Most of the time she does not ask for anyone in particular just leaves a voicemail to call back. This happens several times a day every single day. FTC needs to do something about it

Scam or Fraud February 03, 2022

This is the third call today from these turds left in my voice mail. The recorded voice has changed from the other messages I got from what they left before in the past like what I saw others have posted here "Barbara from fresh start". Now these messages doesn't identify who they are it just states to call back at 949-656-3575 at my earliest convenience. The numbers I blocked are usually from the 707 and 501 area codes and these assclowns keep changing the numbers. Even when I block numbers they're used they still can leave voice mail. No doubt they are scammers. Is anyone else curious how scammers like this are allowed to continue to operate using this scam?

Scam or Fraud January 28, 2022

Damn scammers from this fresh start call me every day leaving voice mails to call them back at 949-656-3575. This has been going on for months. Think they'd figure out by now. Why does the authorities allow them to get away with calling people 4 sometimes 5 times a day, every day? Must be a company owned by some politician or something.

Scam or Fraud January 25, 2022

I get multiple calls every day for the last couple of months from Fresh Start leaving me multiple voice mails every time they call. They don't miss a day. The recorded messages are all identical the recorded message claims to be Barbara from fresh start and that I need to call them back at 949-656-3575. The calls and voice mails occur through the day and evening. No doubt these are scammers because I can't see any actual business that would use these kinds of tactics as well as telling a lie stating I inquired. I never even heard of them. I can see as I check around about them that many are getting these harassing calls from them as I am. The question I have is why isn't anything being done to stop this?

IRS Scam January 21, 2022

Same as all the above, and it's very irritating. The sad part is, this is my government work phone that is being called repeatedly, nonstop, all day, every day. No matter how many I block, another number calls with the same person "Barbara from FreshStart" and all of the voicemails are left for a return call to the 949-656-3575 number.

Scam or Fraud January 21, 2022

I have been getting these robo calls from 'Barbara at Fresh Start' for months now as well with the call claiming to be 'following up with my recent inquiry'. An absolute scam, I never even heard of them before let alone ever calling them. Like the other posts I've read here I never answer or call back and have blocked this number but that hasn't done any good, I still am getting three or more messages left in my voice mail every day from this scammer. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age of technology these asshats can get away with making these calls and there doesn't seem to be anything that 'the authorities' can do to stop them from this harassment. For now I continue to delete and suggest never to call back or follow any links.
