No info on this number yet but it's very similar to an IRS SCAM (347-906-8621) call that I have received. I'm sure they're related. I didn't answer and number is now blocked.
It's before 10:am and I've received about 8 SPAM/SCAM calls this morning...what's going on???? UGH!
IRS scam. Steve will help me avoid prosecution if I give him my credit card number for a small processing fee. Why isn't the government doing something about this? Where is our tax money going? Election time this November.... Don't re-elect anyone. They are all lazy bums.
Typically, the "IRS Scammers" are in India or Pakistan.
Our govt does not have much authority there.

Tech companies, including (among others), Alphabet, Apple, AT&T, Comcast, Samsung, Microsoft, BlackBerry, LG, Qualcomm, Sirius XM, Verizon, Nokia, T-Mobile and Comcast are acting, as well! They formed a "Robocall Strike Force", and are meeting with the FCC. Among other topics, they will address spoofed phone calls.
I received a similar message. What a joke. Could hardly understand him with his foreign accent, this is the message below. "My name is Kevin Mason and I'm calling regarding an enforcement action executed by the US Street. Intending your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional attempt to who what was little appearance before straight judge or a grandeur(?) for Christmas. Press one to speak to you. Press. If you will face legal charges. Thank you."
This number is a scam. Caller leaves a message stating that if you do not call back you will face legal issues with US Treasury. Message cuts out a lot and it is hard to understand. Do not fall for this caller.
