Who called from 2022410333

sorry. I meant sounded*, not skinned

We received a call like that today. I told my husband that it was a computer, as the library and the local school district all have the same computerized voice. I told my husband it has to be a hoax as the IRS never calls; they write.

Got same call, googled it & found all these results. I called back & demanded to talk to someone. They hung up & hung up & finally I got someone. In 2 sentences their thick south Asian accent came forward & next thing thy started cursing in Hindi. Beware , & there should be a way to report or track these fockkers.

I had several calls from a person having heavy Indian accent, claiming he is an IRS agent dealing with criminal investigation.  Don't reply to him.  It's a fraudulent call.

This is not a legitimate call from the IRS.
