To be clear I meant that the IRS does not call people. They send letters and give you a certain number of days to reply. And they certainly wouldn't use an electronic voice. Seriously.
Received two calls today from the above number with the same message from the IRS and from numerous numbers. They are 206-207-0310, 1800-252-3563 and 509 573 0491.
Message 2x today, 3/28/16: started out giving a case number, saying he was officer ___ , that it was an urgent matter, and to call 206-207-0310. The male recorded voice said he was "looking forward to talking with us". The second message was the same wth the addition of being from the IRS in the message.
Right, I bet he is because they might get personal information they can use to scam us.
Anybody with half a brain knows that the IRS WILL NOT CALL YOU!!
It is very simple: if you have caller ID and/or call screening, DO NOT answer a call from an area code you do not know or a number you do not recognize. AND NEVER GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFO TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW. If you do answer the phone and someone is using scare tactics, ASK THEM for their supervisor and phone number so that you can verify who they say they are. Most likely, they will not give you that information.
