Just got a call from 253-336-4185, which I know is a different number, but I am sure the scam is the same. I didn't see an 800notes site for that number so I am putting my comment here. This is what happened: I answered because I thought it was an expected call and I didn't check the caller ID. The person on the other end hung up on me. I'm not having a great day so this was extra annoying to me so I actually called the number back. I couldn't understand the company name he mentioned when he answered due to his heavy accent. I asked why I had been called. He then looked up my info, knew my name and address. I confirmed it. The next words out of his mouth were, "We are calling to get your lawyer's name and number." I said in a big sarcastic voice, "Lawyer, oh yeah, this should be a good one (meaning scam). Why do I need a lawyer?" I was sort of laughing at him. And then he mock laughed back at me, trying to humiliate me and said that he had decided that he wouldn't tell me why I need a lawyer. And, of course, more with the mock laughing. I said, "You sound like a really mature person and this sure sounds like a legit call," being sarcastic again, and then finished it off with, "Have a good day, scammer!" and then I hung up. So badly done. They need to take lessons from the supposed "microsoft windows" scammers. They keep talking and trying to convince you until you hang up on them. At least they present a more professional scam. Probably an IRS scam.
