Got the call today... from Bainbridge, WA. I did not answer and no message left. I guess the cool down period for this telemarketer phone number is over. Beware... especially if you have friends that live in this area.
This guy calls impersonating an IRS agent. Would not provide division/office title of IRS he works in. Asked him his ID, and he started to provide an employee ID.
IRS has a fraud form 3949-A, I think I am going to file, to have the Feds get on this guys tail. If you get call from this guy, please do same, so we can stop this guy.
He is using a telephone number (206-312-5431) which traces to a phone company : ITL International Telcom Ltd., as provider of phone.
Just got a call from this number.
I said "Thank you for calling (name of business), can I help you?"
Him: (eight seconds of silence)
Me: "Hello? Hello?"
Him: "Hello, Salam alaykum?"
Me: "Hello, yes, hi! Can I help you?"
Him: (four seconds of silence), "Salam alaykum, (something else I couldn't follow)."
Me: "Hello, can you hear me... Can I help you?"
Him: (four seconds of silence and then he hangs up)
Tried calling back. Out of service.
