Who called from 2022412158

Just got the same exact call! Creepy and not cool!

I received a similar voice generated message from 202-241-7165 on 10/9/14. Not sure the name used in the call as the audio quality was very poor. Says he is from IRS and to call back that number. I did just to see what or who it was behind this but the line never got through. Another scam number to watch out for! Thanks for sharing everyone

I had a robo voicemail left on my line that .... "or attorney of record" need to call back regarding an urgent time sensitive manner.  The robo lady's name is "Office Heather Gray from the Internal Revenue Service" and that I "shouldn't disregard this message and return the call so that they won't take any legal allegation against me"

RED FLAGS all over this.  Aside from the robo message having an accent (I am not kidding, it was the worst digital voice ever), the IRS won't call for this type of thing, and oh wait.  My taxes are in good working order...

For fun I called the number back (after 10 PM Pacific = really late almost anywhere else in the US) and got nothing.  Not even ringing.  Any real government agency has a phone tree or voicemail (ooo... more red flags).

Some things to note:  the caller ID matched the phone number listed in the message - only says District of Columbia.  Guess these crooks at least took the time to look up the area code. Please please, please, if you get a call from this number it is a scam.  Do not give them any information or any money and file a complaint with the FTC.
