I received the same robotic voice calling me to inform me that I was being sued by the IRS and they had placed a warrant for my arrest. So I did some digging and called them back.
The caller is part of a phishing scam to steal money from Americans. They are based out of Pakistan and will attempt to have you drive to a Walgreens to purchase Apple iTunes gift cards then supply them with the PIN numbers. They will instruct you to email pictures of the cards to [email protected]
The caller later openly admitted to me that it is a scam and they have been doing this for at least 6 years. He then proceeded to insult my mother for 5 minutes and tell me how dumb Americans are.
The caller at one point called me back from (360)232-4905.
The (206)905-9269 number leads to their call center.
