got that call and they told me i had to use cash and go to some bank to deposit 2400 dollars. but they all were indian accents. everybody they connected me on the call. scam
Called the number. They indicated the years I was being audited. I asked numerous questions about their location, as the number appeared from Black Diamond, WA and why it didn't show as IRS on the caller ID. When I pushed further they became frustrated and asked if I wanted this settled in or out of the courthouse. I requested they send me written notification/verification, as this is part of due process. They did not respond. I asked again for written verification and they hung up on me. Total scam.
(360) 851-1351 Robo call recorded 22 June 2015 (IRS call "you're being sued" final notice...) SCAM
Caller ID: "Black Diamon[d] WA"
I've heard of the phony IRS scam call but this is the first time I've ever received it myself. Should I feel slighted that it took them this long to get around to calling me?
The call almost sounds professional (except for a subtle grammatical error that somebody with a 6th grade education would probably notice. I don't want to specifically mention the error and rough spots in case these scammers are savvy enough to do Internet research on their own spoofed phone numbers, why give them the benefit of my critique to help them make their patter sound more professional than horse manure it is?) but I think these are foreign scammers calling because of peculiarities in their wording that sounds more like a non native English speaking person.
Anybody with half a brain cell working would probably know immediately that the call is not from the IRS, but then again, there are a lot of gullible people out there answering their telephones, so I guess scammers like these are able to stay in business.
