After I investigated why my phone went over the allotted usage minutes, I found that this number was responsible for over 65 minutes, just this month. Not only is this an unknown number to me, I found that it had registered on my bill at times my phone was not in use or when I was on the phone with another number. I found that I was not the only one with this problem when I looked up the number. I also notified the phone company and have filed for a fraud investigation.
If they say they are the IRS, you might want to call the IRS directly and first of all confirm the people calling from this number are indeed who they say they are, and second find out what they want diectly from the IRS. I have no problems with the IRS, and I know a couple online databases say that they are who this number belongs to, but I question that for a number of reasons:
First, I have done my own searches and the name comes up "unknown." I don't think an IRS owned landline would come up with "unknown" as the owner of the line.
Second. I've never known the IRS to call at night, on weekends, and multiple times a day every day.
Third, say for a moment it is indeed the IRS: why would an office of theirs in Seattle call someone over halfway across the country.
They may well be a scam. Don't give them any private information.
This number keeps forwarding my calls to it and i cant figure out who it is just rings buzy, and my cell phone carrier can't do anything to stop it because i already removed call forwarding.
