We have received 3 calls from this number today. Called it back and some guy answered but didn't say who he was. The robo message says it is the IRS about a lawsuit.
Same number called me today, twice. Most recently just 3 minutes ago. First time the number came through from Brunswick, ME. I don't know anyone from Maine so I didn't answer; figuring it was a wrong number. They left a recorded message saying that the IRS is filing law suits agains me and that I need to call the IRS back at their given number. Second time it was a foreign number and said it was from Egypt but on my voice message screen it says it's from Brunswick, ME. They left the same recorded message. It's just creepy that they would be so persistent. Is there any way to report this? I have both of the numbers in my phone.
Got the same call, with a robot leaving a message. Going to report it to the IRS scam page. Please do so as well so they might be prompted to take action.
Robot voice saying "IRS is filing lawsuits against you. To find out more about your case file call 207-449-6931 ... " What a bunch of BS and these people should be hanged. I presume you call back and they say to send them money or else. Some poor person will respond to this obvious phishing scam and unfortunately lose money. Amazing that we could tap phones in the 1970s but can't track these criminals down in 2016.
Ok, haha funny / phone scam alert... Just got a call on my cell from 207-449-6931. Was on the phone, so it went to voice mail. The message said, in a very ominous tone "Call our division at 207-449-6931, I repeat..."
So (cuz I was ascared!) I called back. A gentleman (I use that term loosely) answered "Internal Revenue Service". Yes, now the game was afoot!
I said "Yes, your office left me a message." He said he needed to verify my identity, so I told him my name was "Martin Smith". He put me on hold to "pull up my case file" and then came back to tell me that the IRS was preparing a lawsuit against me because I owed $5717 in back taxes because my 2010 - 2013 takes were wrong.
I said "Oh no." He then told me he was going to read me something and not to interrupt him while he read it. So, of course, I interrupted him all the way through. After he read it, he then asked me "Did you defraud the IRS intentionally or unintentionally." My response: "Oh, I did it on purpose. I like to commit fraud against the government every chance I get."
I think he suspected that I was on to him because his next question was "Do you know where your wife is?" I told him I didn't, and that I hadn't seen her for 3 years. He then said "Shes right here, <bleep>ing my <bleep>."
I said, oh, wow, you finally found her. Now I finally know where she is. Then he told me my mom was there too, just before hanging up on me! (No way. Mom's at my house doing some gardening in the backyard!) lol
