Received a voice mail message today from a female caller stating she was from the IRS and that they have been trying to reach me. Caller ID for the call came from 817-275-9369 but the caller said to call 209-243-6009 immediately as there is a lawsuit against. Initially my heart stopped until I did a reverse search on this number and saw all the comments... Thanks!
I received a phone call from (310) 510-9156 (number displayed on my caller ID). The voice mail left was an automated female voice claiming to be from the IRS stating that this was the final notice and action would be taken. The message said that i should call (209) 243-6009 for more information and case number. Apparently, these scam artists are trying to add a new level of credibility to their attacks by using an automated female American voice (previous phone calls were made by a male - Pakistani or Indian (dot not feather) - with an accent that was almost impossible to discern. It should be noted that this same scam artist has also claimed to be from the Dept of Treasury (202-506-8119) and Windows Software company where they stated that i had a serious virus on my home computer and needed access to repair (Hah! i have a MAC). Protect yourself people - they are scam artists. And please warn and protect your elderly parents and friends before they fall victim to these criminals! Apparently they have many phone numbers and tactics at their disposal... so BEWARE!
This is the second time I have received this call (the first was 5 months ago). This time it was automated instead of a real person. The caller ID says 607-767-0057. The number to call is 209-243-6009. Both times it was obviously a scam, but people need to know about it, so that they don't panic.
