I live in Idaho and yesterday got the same pre-recorded message. I never called back because I know the IRS does NOT operate this way. Then I got a SECOND phone call from a different number: 360-851-4693. I decided to call back out of curiosity. I was told they did an audit on me from 2008 thru 2013 and that I owed $2,335. I was threatened with being arrested in 45 minutes and losing my driver's license for 5 years. I told him to take a hike and not waste any more of my time and hung up on him. Here I sit - no, I never did get arrested! What terrible people trying to scare people and scam their money!
robocall on Tuesday 01-27-15 @ 1015 AM - phone referenced in call was 253-336-5037 form state of Washington.
Do not have Caller ID on one of my lines (my C-line) so unsure of original spoofed phone number.
Received the following = "This is an automated message by the IRS. We have been trying to reach you. This is the last time we will attempt to reach you before a lawsuit is filed against you by the IRS. Call 253-336-5037, Repeat 253-336-5037."
