i have a family member that works for the irs and she said its a scam not to call them back she is reporting it right now so that hopefully noone else will send them money and end up loosing in the end they might have some of your info but when you call they will get more so please dont call them back and dont give them or confirm any of your info if they call and you pick up.
Someone from the phone number 1-202-379-923 & 1-202-499-1598, called saying they were from the IRS, I was told that $2180 was owed to me, but I had to pay $160 for penalties & fines. I complied. Then was told to pay an additional $200 for penalties & fines cause more money was owed in the sum of $3978. I also complied with the $200. I was told both times to put the money on a Green Dot Money Pack Card. When I realized it was a acam. I asked for my money back, they did not refund my money. Now every time I call they hang up on me.
I received a call from this number. They left a message and I was skeptical because the IRS knows where u r. Your address and everything. They would have written me. As bad as I need 2000 I decided to not call and just look up the number online.
