They did not disclose who they were. They simply left a message via computerized voice saying, "If you fail to contact in next one hour, we will be forced to send police officers at your place to get you arrested." The bad grammar is theirs, not mine. :)
Some kind of scam. Did not identify themselves, but said the following on my answering service: "509-396-6859. I'll repeat that: 509-396-6859. If you fail to contact us in next one hour, we will be forced to send police officers at your place to get you arrested. Thank you." The grammar errors are from the recording, not my typing. :)

You will have to copy and paste this into the browser or you will get a, "page not available" warning. Let's hope they catch these guys (but they are probably in India or the Philippines (the one that called me, even though it was a computer generated voice, had Filipino grammar--I hear the speech patterns all the time with my wife's friends from the PI).)

I got that same call 5min ago my phone tells me where the call is coming from I got it from Turkey
Received a call 11/20/2015 12:35 PST listed as "Private" on caller ID and "*69" did not work. Message was garbled and the beginning cut off by the voicemail system. What was comprehensible was "I repeat it, 509-396-6859. If you fail to contact the next one hour then we will be forced to send police officers at your place to get you arrested."
Terrible grammar, it was obviously a computer generated voice, and no business or agency was named (i.e. "This is the Blah Blah Police") so I'm ignoring the message.

Voic Over IP. Phone options do not work on them. The one I got was a robot woman's voice simply telling me, "If you fail to contact in next hour, we will be forced to send police officers at your place to get you arrested Thank you." Bad grammar from a machine. It is laughable, but people still fall for this scam. With all the complaints, I wonder if the FBI is doing anything. Time for everyone to report this stuff to the FCC as well as these Web pages. :)

Looks like a better site for reporting the ones coming in as "IRS" would be: https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/contact_report_scam.shtml
Maybe they will do something about it.

Sorry, don't know why that link didn't work. It works from Facebook, but not here. Cutting and pasting it into the browser works though. Must be some kind of block on this site which doesn't allow external links or something. It is, however, the IRS page to report the abuse.
Just got a call too! Same as everyone else is saying. Not going to call back based on these posts.
