It's a scam. They go by different names, however they sound similar to each other & are probably the same person. (Or perhaps two.) The IRS does not call on Saturdays, normally leaves an 800# for return call, & does not God Bless anybody. They leave different call-back phone numbers. In six days, we've received 5 calls. Now we let all calls go to answering machine, so we can have a record. Somebody Anybody: how do you stop this stuff?
I couldn't imagine and believe that IRS staff has the time and effort to spend on calling individual taxpayers.
If so they are using our tax money and time!!!!! Think before yo act.
I received the same call from IRS Agent Carl Cooper threatening that I, or my attorney, must return his call to this number or suffer the consequences. Caller ID displayed "unknown name" and "unknown number". I doubt very seriously that the IRS would not put their true name and number on CID. As most of the posts above elude, this must be a scam to either get money or personal information for the purpose of identity theft...or both.
I received a message left on my phone at 2:30 p.m.
"Thank you. You received this message and I need you and it pertains to security of records. This is extremely time sensitive. My name is agent Carl Cooper from IRS. The direct line to my division is 202-241-0282. I repeat 202-241-0282. If you don't return this call.....If you don't.....The only thing I can do is to wish you good luck. The situation falls upon you. Again this message is for you and this is agent Carl Cooper calling you.. Thank you. God bless you."
This call troubled me and decided to Google the number and it is a land line from Washington. DC. It looks like this guy use the same name and he has an accent. I would like to report this, but don't know where to. If someone know where I can report this. Please post.
