Seriously? You actually think that someone with New York license plates sitting in a car next to you would be able to somehow come up with your number to call you?
No idea who this was. It sounds like a scam. There was a robotic voice saying something about "the local cops", "serious allegations", and about "taking legal actions" against me. Sounds pretty cheesy. Obviously I didn't call back.
Each of the statements above are correct, this is a phishing tactic designed to gain access to your financial information, should someone be untrained enough to release it. Their ultimate goal is to gain access to your computer, and download any accounting or financial data they can. They seem to prefer QuickBooks data.
I called this number back on two separate occasions using different CID's, and each time they wanted access to my computer. Once I determined their MO, I set up a virtual machine loaded with ransomware and trojans, and "allowed" them access to control it remotely. I had a folder named "Accounting Information" full of tainted word and excel files, then I "pretended" to go to the bathroom. I said "Hey I have to go to the bathroom, do you have everything you need for minute or two?" They said "yes we will be fine", so I muted the phone and watched them create a transfer folder and download all my "financial data".
After I came back to the phone, I could hear a little commotion on their end, and I asked if everything was alright. He said they were unable to open any of the documents. I then told them "good luck opening any OTHER files on that computer, or any computer on your network, for that matter". After some unintelligible expletives were uttered, the line went dead. I assume they hung up.
If they had ACTUAL IRS data, they would know that I'm a cybersecurity engineer for a private sector firm that specializes in anti-cyber threat tactics.
