(202) 241-1544

We got a call from 202-241-1544. I had a feeling this might be a Scam because the person was very hard to understand. He said his name was Carl (Karl) Mason (I am not sure about the last name he was hard to understand.) He said he was calling for a 2013 IRS, Internal Revenue Service, Audit. He also mentioned he tried many times to contact us. (At least that is what I thought he said). We never received any prior messages. Lastly, he said so****ing to the effect that we should not attempt to not reply to this message. After listening to the call a***n I think what made it hard to understand was the quality of the call and this could have been caused they are using VOIP from overseas.
