Robocall claiming to be from the IRS. Stated that my Social Security Number has been flagged and suspended. Asked to press 1 to speak with an agent. Obvious phishing scam.

Received a silent call. When I answered, there was just dead air for 5 seconds before it automatically disconnected. Likely an automated system testing for active numbers.
