I too got a call from 509-288-4652, but the message left on my voicemail was incomplete. Just asked me to call the number right away. I called and spoke with "Officer Jack Watson of the IRS". However it took me several requests to actually understand him due to the excessive noise in the background and his thick accent (India?, Pakistan?, Mid-East?) When I asked "Officer Watson" for his IRS ID #, he hung up. When I called back, first I got a busy signal, then it rang without answer until it stopped. Aside from the obvious that this is a scam, I mean really? "Jack Watson"?? At least pick a typical name that fits your accent; and don't just hang-up. Do thinking people really fall for this??
Received a call from this number today. It might be a scam, because the message left appeared to purposely "garble" the name of a company that supposedly is about to file a lawsuit. No one is about to sue me.
Woman called and left message that I was being sued by the Internal Revenue Service that I needed to call this number immediately. When I called a man claimed to be with the Internal Revenue Service and gave me badge number 19462. Claimed that I was going to be arrested, my bank accounts frozen, my assets seized because of an audit the allegedly did and served me with notice about. He said there was a warrant for my arrest. But he could not prove that he had served me with anything. I kept asking for proof or documentation and he got angry with me and raised his voice and called me a liar. He told me my call was recorded and not to lie to the IRS. He told me if I didn't want to handle this in court, then I needed to discuss settlement with him today. When I suggested that I was going to go down to the local IRS office to get a copy of my file, he told me I was a criminal and I would arrested on the spot for fraud. I told him I would take my chances and contact my local IRS and sheriff's department to verify his allegations and that I had his number and would call him back if I needed to. You can't call your local IRS office. They don't accept incoming calls but I did call my local Sheriff's office which told me this was fraud and to report them. Crazy. He was very bold and almost aggressive. I never gave him ANY personal information although he had my name address and husband's name. I'm sure it was caller ID.
I received 2 calls with a woman's recorded voice saying the IRS was suing me and to call about this litigation. I know that i do not owe anything to the IRS or anybody else for that matter. When I tried to call there was no answer and no way to leave a message. I assumed this was a scam and I guess I was right.
