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".
You need to call us back on our department number 206-207-0310. I repeat it's 206-207-0310. As of as a matter of urgency. I'm looking forward to speak to you. Thank you. Goodbye ."recorded female voice) Goodbye.
Got a voice mail message from 206-207-0310. Computer synthesized voice telling me that "an arrest warrant has been issued in Your Name." Call back immediately, etc, etc. Oh how urgent that robotic voice sounded. Of course it's BS. If I had an untraceable number and lots of free time, I'd robo-call them back.
Called this AM (April 6, 2016) said he was IRS agent and I needed to call back as soon as I got the message. I have not called back. And I will not call back. Why can't the IRS or the FBI shut these people down once they know about this phone scam?
I received the same message on my answering machine as several others: the male obviously robot voice saying "Department of Internal Revenue Service. Your case number is #######." My "case number" was identical to the one others have reported and I understood the "officer" to say his name was John Paul Smith.
