Was a Lady from FTB. Knew details about my correspondance with FTB and solved my tax questions successfully

Received a call from 916-845-1385 twice with caller ID showing: ST OF CA FTB. I did not pick up and let the call go to voicemail. I then called back and a recording comes on saying "The caller is not accepting calls at this time." I don't think the Tax Board phone number goes to a cell phone. First of all, I know for a fact I don't owe any taxes and secondly, they would not abbreviate their name like that. After reviewing these comments, I know this was fraud.

A lady calling from 916-845-1385 claiming to be Esha (Sounded Japanese), claimed to be calling me from the CA Franchise Tax Board stating that I had a credit balance they needed to determine what to do with. (First suspicion from me). Then she wanted to verify who I was asking me to verify my last four of my SS# (2nd suspicion from me). I told her I don't know that you are actually calling me from the Franchise Tax Board. She said she understands and that I can call her back on this other number she gave me after I google it: 916-845-5967. (my third suspicion - a different number & not an 800 FTB#).

Claimed to be from FTB. Name used was Del. Wanted a call back right away. Funny thing, it's Sunday. Have you ever heard of someone in this organization working on Sunday. He then went on to say that the FTB hours were Monday through Friday except for state holidays. "Del" needs to practice his deliver a little more.
