360-807-5520: Scam IRS call

360-807-5520 is a scam call, not from the IRS.

We received an automated message this week on our answering machine, purportedly from the Internal Revenue Service, from 360 807-5520, presumably western Washington state outside of metropolitan Seattle. The female voice claimed it was an urgent matter and the IRS is filing a lawsuit against us and that we need to call the number back ASAP. This is a scam; other people have received the same call in recent days.

  1. The IRS never calls. First contact would be by mail only. So many scams out there.

  2. My parents got the same call. My mom knew immediately it was a scam, both from the way the person spoke and mainly from the fact that the IRS ONLY contacts people by postal mail.

    But yeah, I’ve heard of folks falling for this. It’s a despicable scam.
