Unfortunately it doesn't work that way anymore thanks to the interwebs.
Technically, NPA/NXX 347/434 is New York, NY but that 1000 block is registered to a company in FL that doles out numbers so that they can be used in spoofing CNAM as local calls.
Does this fit the bill?:
"Got a voicemail today from this phone "Susan Allen" stating she's calling from IRS Investigation Dept and this is notification that an arrest warrant has been issued & that my physical address is not under federal investigation.
I called back and spoke with "Mark Taylor" who answered IRS Investigation Department he pulled up the number that I called from (my cell #) and stated that the representative who had called me before was with another person. He proceeded to explain that there are been two letters from IRS sent to my OLD mailing address in July 2016 and Aug 2016 stating I had my taxes audited and there were "multiple errors" found for "multiple years" he wasn't able to give me the specific years but stated it had been filed with my local courthouse and police department and I could be arrested within the next hour!
He provided me with a case # and then forwarded me to his DIVISION HEAD by the name of Ray Breslin" ID Badge # 8414061. Again, claimed letters had been sent for notification of this debt. I told them they had old mailing address for me on file and he asked if I had filed IRS Form D7. They all have the heaviest accent too... perhaps Indian, but I'm not sure.
I told them the IRS has my current information (i.e. Correct last name and current mailing address). The IRS also doesn't call, they mail you information and wouldn't bother calling with "last notification" procedures. I was not worried about being arrested. But what a total waste of time and frustration to understand them in the first place.
Called back that phone number again and it goes right to voicemail stating "thank you for calling Internal Revenue Service." Same guy with heavy accents. So annoying."
Same reported from several different TN's in this group. There is no way to stop this anymore.
