Received call from (618) 529 - 9140. Female computer voice said it was "A final notice from the IRS of a lawsuit." Then said to call the "The IRS Office at 509-207-4069".
Searching (618) 529 - 9140, it seems to have been used for a variety of other scams, such as claiming to be your Internet Provider, Windows, or Microsoft; calling to help you with a problem.
I received the dreaded FAKE call from the IRS. It sounded like a computer generated voice on the message and they did not speak in complete sentences. They said that the IRS was going to sue me and for further information, I was to call them at the above number....naught!
They called my home telephone. I have purposely turned off the ringer to that phone, because I am bombarded with political, charity, telemarketers and crazy callers nearly everyday! Being on the Do Not Call list has not benefited me at all. Because soon after registering my number, I learned that political and charities were still able to call you. UGH!
Received this call. Caller ID was UNKNOWN. Message was robotic explaining they were trying to reach me. They were the IRS and filing a suit against me. I was to call the above number. A few minute later, another call came in with the caller ID of 000-000-0000. No message. SCAM ALERT.
Dont waist your time calling back!
I returned the call and the gentleman identified his self as "simon baker" from the internal revenue service!
I then said you called me and I want to know why and he said " I want to F#### you! And He then hung up! I had the phone call on speaker and my son confirmed that is what the man said!

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
