Just received the call on my office number. From~ 206-204-5051
Stating It was my final notice and the IRS was filing a law suit against me (recorded message). I did not call back. Ten minutes later they called my personal land line. I did not answer that.
Area code masking taken from phone records or contacts?
Same thing. Interestingly enough though this is the second time they've called, different numbers, but BOTH area codes were from places I have either called or have a contacted saved on this phone. It would be interesting to see if others have seen this, because it could indicate that they have accurate phone records and/or can see my contacts.
Total IRS SCAM! I called back after getting a VM that said the IRS was going to sue me..... the woman who could hardly speak English said I owe $5000 in taxes because of a mistake made on a prior year.... Too bad for her she could not answer my questions, she did not know my new last name or current address WHICH the IRS does! I ripped her a new one and called her a scammer and said I would be reporting this number.
Here’s what happens: You get a call from a scammer pretending to be with the IRS, saying you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay taxes you owe right now. You’re told to wire it or put it on a prepaid debit card. They might threaten to deport you or say you’ll lose your driver’s license. Some even know your Social Security number, and they fake caller ID so you think it really is the IRS calling.
But it’s all a lie. If you send the money, it’s gone.
Robot call, telling me I'll being sued and NEC to call their number
