I received a call from this number.....it was automated and insisting that I call back immediately because I have a warrant out for my rest due to back taxes. I'm not an idiot......when warrants are issued, the person is not notified prior to pick up. Also, I am 100% certain that I do not owe back taxes; even if I did owe back taxes, I would have received several official letters before any legal action would take place.
The funny thing about all of this is that I am a teacher and I received this call at the end of my planning period. When my students (6th grade) arrived to class I told them about the phone call. I thought it was worth telling them about because I don't want them to receive a scam call like this and become fearful that it is true. I then decided to call the number so my students could hear the scam for themselves (speaker phone). Imagine our surprise when the guy who answered the call flat out admitted that he is part of a scam!!! (after I had already called him out, of course!) Things got kind of creepy when the guy became really flirtatious and we had to hang up before he said something really inappropriate. Weirdo.
Overall, it was an excellent teaching moment, the students enjoyed the lesson and they really learned something, too!
