Additional information about this call:

I got one ring and a missed call from 229-201-8653. I think it’s a scheme where they want to induce callbacks.

When I called back here’s what I heard (automated transcription so might have errors):

Hi, and thank you for connecting to Connie Harper’s line at the National Clear Tax Relief Adjustment Division. This phone number has been flagged in our system as being associated with a possible open-case file involving possible missed tax filings or outstanding back taxes over one year old. However, it’s possible that this number has recently changed hands or the records may be outdated. If you’re confident that you do not owe any back taxes and have not missed any tax filings in the last 15 years, this call may have reached you an error. To help us keep our records accurate and avoid any further outreach, you may simply hang up now. This will serve as the final and only notification attempt from Rebecca’s office.

To continue and speak with your assigned case representative now, say two or select two on your telephone touch tone keypad. If now is not a good time or you would like to decline assistance, please say nine or press nine on your phone. Touch tone keypad now. Thank you.
