Similar to the phone number 201-535-4777, they have been aggressively calling me with an automated voice message saying claiming they are they IRS. I called back and snidely asked what they wanted. The guy on the line asked what my name phone number was. I laughed and stated that "YOU called ME." I told them, if they were really the IRS, they would know who called and would easily ID me without me stating so. I also told them to quit calling me and quit scamming people. He immediately said "YOU [***]" in some kind of Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern/Northern African accent and hung up. Go ahead and report this number, I can't wait for them to stop calling me because this is getting old.
Please report the phone numbers you receive to the US treasury department found at this website:
