Caller ID said Washington, DC. Rcvd it at work 1st thing this morning. Automated message from "IRS" regarding a criminal lawsuit they have filed against me, gave a case # that I didn't get, and return phone number for me or my attorney to call 202-864-1724. The end of the message broke up but essentially told me that if me or my attorney failed to return the call "Good luck as the situation totally unfolds on you". Can't believe the IRS would leave a message like this. Pretty sure it's the same scam/new number.
Hi Frank criminal law suit filed against you your case number is C H seven six two nine five. The moment you receive this message. I need you or your retained attorney of record to return the call the issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. My phone number is (202)864-1724 you not disregard this message and do return the call. Now if you do not return the call and I do not hear from your attorney either then the only thing I can do is wish you a good luck as the situation totally unfolds on you goodbye.
Got to have something they think will scare people into following their phony orders. Is there a better way that doesn't sound more ridiculous than they already do?
