509-588-1409

Robocall delivered by computer-generated voice with thick accent. Message was the IRS had been repeatedly trying to contact us and this was the "final" call before a lawsuit would be filed against us. Instruction was to "call department immediately on 509-588-1409" (the number matched the caller ID. Note the caller ID said Benton City WA ... and the IRS does not make these kinds of calls, it sends letters ... AND it provides a toll-free phone number and a case number.

I received the same message

We got same robo-call. Very unclear message. Obviously phony.

Also received a robo-call allegedly from the IRS.  These scum prey on the frighten elderly. I can not express my feelings of disgust for these thieves.

I received this same call just now 1/15/16. Will report to FTC, as if that will do any good.

This is a well known scam. There's info on the IRS website.

Calling here and they are not real and will not go away

Whatever happened is between the "caller" and my fax machine.    Keep calling my fax number and we will be OK.  These criminal tools are too low to step on.   Hope you get to sleep in the gutter tonight where you belong.

Received that call today.  I called IRS.  They said its a scam, likely from overseas.  They are using many different numbers to call different states.  Do Not Respond they said and they are investigating.

Called and left VM - same as all accounts above. Said they were IRS and trying to reach us and to call the number
immediately. It is a scam. (It's too early for the IRS game, anyway).

Same as above comments....Last year, same issues . This is about the 6 th lawsuit "filed against me by the IRS"... Honestly, these calls are so annoying. I have blocked max number on my phone, but may change a few soon.

Thanks for the heads u. tax season and I suppose they are just littering everywhere on folks phone lines.

This is the 2nd one that left the same message on voicemail from 509-588-1409. I also received one from another number 240-436-2753 Buckeystown, MD.

Caller (with a thick East Indian accent) identified himself as a Windows Technician. When I challenged him for his Microsoft certification number, He read a number off quickly. I asked him his name and he identified himself as Jeff. I asked if I could call him back and he gave me the number 509-588-1409. I did call back and someone (with a thick East Indian accent) answered and said they were with Microsoft in Redmond, Washington and some illegal activity had been traced to my computer. He said he would help me fix it but what he wanted me to do was go to a web site that would give him unrestricted access to my computer. When I asked for Jeff he demanded my name and when I told him they should know because they called me first, he hung up. I can't believe law enforcement can't track this scam down (the phone number is legit) and put these scammers out of business.
