Git a call from this number today saying it was from IRS and they are filing a lawsuit against me. I knew it was a scam because I have received calls like that before from a different number. I called the number anyway and the recording said the subscriber you have dialed is not in service. These kind of calls are so annoying.
Caller ID says "cell phone, CA". Yes, it is the IRS scam everyone is talking about/warning about. Don't answer their call and they will give up eventually. Alternatively you could answer the phone as "Internal Revenue Service" and have a little fun with them.
Called the heavy accented guy back and told him I was Agent Smith from the IRS, badge 7245B1A4. It has c0me to our attention that you are making scam phone calls. You will cease and desist or you will be arrested.
That's what we did. Actually, my husband said he was from Homeland Security and he would require the gentleman's full name and home address as HS would be sending out investigators to check on him and his family. The 'gentleman' hung up immediately. Hmmm...
My elderly dad got this call and kept him on the phone for over a half hour. He can't hear well but did give them his address, but no other information. He called me very worried that he did owe the irs over $6,000. Makes my blood boil that people do this!!
