The original call was from 801-736-9999. A message was left instructing me to call this number.
Here's what I posted on 800notes for the originating number:
~~~
Message was text-to-speech (computer generated) and said the following:
"This call is a official final notice call from IRS. The reason of the call is to inform you that IRS has filed a lawsuit against you. To know more information call immediately our IRS department number 520-353-4723. I repeat 520-353-4723."
Reminder: The IRS uses the USPS to inform people of lawsuits, not the telephone. Even if the IRS did contact people by phone, the certainly wouldn't leave a voice message without specifying who the message was for or giving some sort of reference number.
I have to believe this was generated by a foreigner due to the slight irregularities in wording and the use of computer-generated text-to-speech (probably to hide an accent or poor English.)
Finally, the phone number they said to call back is provided by an Arizona VOIP carrier. (BROADVOX-CLEC, LLC - AZ)
As a VOIP, it can be used by anybody anywhere in the world.
Same old scam as described. The announcement was recorded and sounded like a machine voice. This was the 'last notice' that IRS was filing a lawsuit. Caller ID had listed 'unavailable' name and 'out of area number'.
They called claiming a lawsuit was filed against us (final notice). They claim they're the IRS. Told us to call back to 520-353-4723. I reported it to the IRS. I did not call the number they provided. SCAM.
I was first called by 520-353-4723, automated voice message stating the IRS was filing a suit against ??? didn't say a name or account number, just that I should call them right away. I know that was BS so I blocked the number. Then received a voice mail from 509-643-4359 telling me to call them right away. Total scam, I hope no one falls for this.
