Who called from 2023791907

Received a scam call from this number.  Caller ID said "Washington, DC".  A recorded message stated he was "Officer George (didn't catch the last name)"  from the IRS calling about evidence of tax fraud on my latest return and that I should call back.  He rattled off a "badge number" and a call back number so quickly I couldn't write it down or memorize it and then the message ended.  This is the first one of these I've received, but I know that the IRS contacts people via mail for these things.

Received a voice mail message on my cell phone saying that there was "fraud and misconduct on your tax file which needs to be rectified immediately" and that I was to return the call  "on direct division line to my senior".  I am tempted to call but I know that sometimes they make recordings of your voice and piece them together to say things they want you to say.  Any recommendations.

Don't bother. These are criminals attempting to extort money. Block the number (if you have the capability), and report them to the appropriate entity:

There are numerous telephone and email scams in which individuals claim to be employees of the Treasury Department. These scammers often state that they are from the “Department of Legal Affairs,” offer grant money in exchange for you wiring a small payment, or threaten to arrest you within a short period of time unless payment is made. Do not provide personal information or payment to these individuals.  Their actions are crimes under Titles 18 and 31 of the United States Code, and the Treasury Office of Inspector General is working to stop them.

If they claim to be from Treasury, report  it to [email protected] with a description.  If it was a phone contact, include:
the exact date and time that you received the call(s)
the phone number of the caller
the geographic location and time zone where you received the call
a description of the communication.

If they claim to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or it is about taxes, report it to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at:
