This number didn't even ring on my phone. Two voicemails just populated randomly throughout the day within a four hour time frame. The first voicemail was 52 seconds of dead air. The second voicemail was recording that started in the middle of a sentence about an IRS issue. The guy on the recording had a stupid thick accent and had difficulty pronouncing IRS. This is just another IRS scam caller. Do not answer.

We had the same message. Had to listen 3 times to understand the message and it was exactly the same. Call officer Marvin firm the IRS or you risk being arrested by the local sheriff.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
