Leaves automated message stating "This is the IRS and we are calling to let you know that the IRS is placing a law suit against you for back taxes. Please call the number and you will be able to rectify this situation." SCAM
Phony IRS scam. Location of number is Kent, WA, from a landline that is possibly located on Glenwood Lane in Kent. They are using this as a spoofed/hijacked number. After hours, if you call back, the legitimate recording will state the number is disconnected and no longer in service. The next day, they will resume using the same number. This is an attempt to avoid detection from the federal government. It is not the IRS. It is a scam. Make up a name and play the game and then tell them they are going to get nailed by the government.
Caller: unidentified female in bogus call center
I just received a call from this number telling me the IRS had a lawsuit against me and that they would be suspending my license due to backed taxes...I don't even have a license! hahaha and they didn't even try for a social security number or anything. They just asked my name and somehow the big ole IRS knew just who I was by part of my name! What a scam.
I received a call from the 253 number and told them I was an IRS agent and if this was legit a certified letter is how the IRS would handle delinquent tax issues. They immediately hung up. I continued to call and harass them until they pulled the plug and the # was no longer in service! DUMB-[***]!
