(410) 204-9302 Robo call recorded 31 March 2017 ("Revenue Agent Kimberly Brown, Tax and Audit Department...IRS is pressing a law suit against you...for tax evasion") SCAM
Caller ID: "Baltimore MD"
This is the first call since September 2016 from the India branch office of the I.R.S. Usually scammers improve with age, but this recording was of such poor production quality, I find it difficult to believe that people actually fall for this scam. They use text-to-speech to hide their foreign accents, but their grammar is poor, their sentences run-in, and some of their phrases make no sense at all. Notice the part about the case being [sic] "regis tired". Something to do with sleep? Or with wheels (perhaps wheels of justice)? lol
Due to the poor production quality of this scam call, 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.
Please listen to my recording of their message (posted on my Spam Calls web page, linked below). For levity, I've parodied their poor recording with their exact same words, but using their native language accent (part 2 of the recording, after the tone).
Thanks to Google Voice, following is a transcript of this scam call:
[text-to-speech female voice part 1, their poor version] "This is Revenue agent Kimberly Brown from Tax and Audit Department of IRS. The nature of my voice mail is to inform you that IRS is pressing a lawsuit against you under your social security for tax evasion. As this case regis tired [sic] today in New York City and your state so before this matter reaches the Federal Claim courthouse or before you get arrested kindly give us a call on our number 4 zero 1-204-9 tree zero 2, repeat, 4 zero 1-204-9 tree zero 2."
[text-to-speech female voice part 2, my parody version] "This is Revenue agent, Kimberly Brown, from Tax and Audit Department of IRS. The nature of my voice mail is to inform you that IRS is pressing a lawsuit against you under your social security, for tax evasion. As this case registered today in New York City and your state so before this matter reaches the Federal Claim courthouse, or before you get arrested, kindly give us a call on our number 401-204-9302, repeat, 401-204-9302."

I just got the call, 9:47am my first reaction was like wtf? But then I got to thinking about the way the message was worded & how in fact they didnt even state who the call was even for, so i got on line an typed the number in, & so many things popped up about this being a scam!
Robo message said Im being arrested for tax evasion if I don't call them about a lawsuit being filed against me in my city and state. I've never had a job, earned any income, and I'm 17. Scam.
