Received call from 425-247-3057. He said he was from the Internal Revenue Service and that I owed them money.
I told him that I was recording the phone conversation, and I needed his name and details , he hung up.
Just got the call...we owe $75000, and they are on the way to my house..lol! My husband told them to come on..we'll leave the light on for you! They hung up
This number has called my home several times saying; "The IRS has filed a suit against you"! It's time for all our "government power" do more about these kinds of calls. This is considered a threatening phone call and should be stopped. No more excuses by our law makers about how hard it is to find these people calling, when the internet can tell us general location of caller! This call is coming from Seattle............beware and do not call them back, you do not get an answer......

Evidently you are unaware of "phone number spoofing".
We can no longer believe the phone number we see on our caller IDs (CID) belongs to the person who called! The bad guys are now using easily accessed technology to "spoof" the CID numbers, so their real number does not appear.
The problem has gotten so bad, the US government actually passed an Act, called "The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009", making such spoofing illegal. See http://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing
for more information.
The FCC adopted that Act in June, 2010, stating that violators could be fined up to $10,000 for each violation.
However, the bad guys are ignoring this law ... after all, they are criminals, and that is what criminals do. Although we now have a "law" against spoofing, it is very difficult to enforce it.
So, if you see a CID number on your phone when you are called by some scammer or telemarketer, it might not belong to the scammer! It might be the number of some unsuspecting third party ... or, it might be one of those numbers that charge $25 (plus about $9 per minute) if you call it back, or the number might not be "real" at all.
