This morning we received a phone message in an automated female voice, purportedly from the IRS today saying they are filing a lawsuit against us. "Immediately call 360-851-1764, I repeat 360-851…". Obviously some sort of scam. Irritating!
I got a call from another number telling me to call this number or I'm I trouble with IRS, the voice left on my machine was a weird computer voice, definitely a scam!!
Called this number back because I had a message left about lawsuit IRS has against me. When I asked his name he told me it was Officer Shawn Williams. When I told him that I researched the number and it had been reported as a scam, he hung up on me. If it were it IRS and they had a lawsuit against me, I don't think I would be hung up on! Definitely a scam!!
CNBC has an article today on IRS scams,
which includes a 45 second audio recording from this phone number.
