This came in as a phoney call from a phoney "I.R.S." agent saying my "address" was under "investigation" for "criminal investigation" by the IRS. The caller apparently didn't know he was talking to an answering machine because the message started in the middle of his "script". It was from the above number, which traces back to the town of Payallup (8 miles from Tacoma), in Pierce County, Washington State. The trace located the call from a landline located near the cross streets of W. Pioneer and 6th St. SW in Payallup. Because I have seen these types of calls before, I did not return the SCAM call and did not become a victim of anything, but contacted the Payallup Police Dept.. The dispatcher who answered acknowledged that I was being recorded so I proceeded to give all the information about the call per above, and she attempted to cut me off several times to say that I needed to report it to my local police dept to contact them instead of me. She refused to take the information and refused to talk to me, and ended up hanging up on me. SHAME ON YOU, Payallup P.D.!! Crime and victims are happening under your nose and you won't listen to the smart people who will help you find them! SHAME ON YOU!!!
