Received a phishing / spam robo-call from this number claiming to be the Internal Revenue Service (note: they actually say Internal Revenue Services). They say that the IRS is filing suit against me and that I should call this number 509-346-6041.
I knew this was a scam but I returned call and spoke to a person who spoke in thick accent (Indian/Pakistani?). I started to ask questions and they promptly hung up on me.
Using reverse phone number lookup, this number was found to be in Othello, Washington and is associated with CenturyTel of Washington doing business as Centurylink. I called Centurylink and they told me that this activity has been reported to the authorities and is being investigated. Unfortunately they are unable to cut off service to this number without legal authorization to do so.
So, in meantime, to not get fall for this trap. Ignore the call (I have blocked the number on my phone now) and get on with your life.
