I had a call last Wednesday, it was a recording from 206-905-9637. It said, "this is the IRS, we have been attempting to contact you for sometime, call this number, and some number was included". I knew right away it was phony, it didn't even say my name. When I googled the number, dozens of people had already posted a similar report. Some did follow through and called the number. They said some guy with an india accent told them the IRS had sued and you needed to send cash right away with an instagram. It's hard to believe that some people can fall for this scam.
