Who called from 2026576210

Very poor computer generated message saying I owe IRS back taxes and better call immediately or obtain an attorney. I called the number back and some one with heavy India accent answered. I told him he wasn't getting shot from me cause IRS doesn't contact you like that..I also asked to speak to someone American and they said no..pretty sure not everyone in IRS is  from India. Big scam !!

There is a widespread IRS (or CRA) or "tax scam" being  practiced by scammers on both USA and Canadian residents.

USA tax payers should read this:

Canadian tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

I got the same message that Mathew got,but I did not call the number back as the IRS would not call you they would send you a certified letter
Also got another call from a different 202 number about an hour and a half later but I did not answer the call

FBI placed a warning about this call. For IRS notifie by letters never a phone call let alone on cell lines. So yes it is s scam. They have been wiping peoples accounts out.  Guess they more # so this will go with the two they gave us. Plus the house # is all the IRS has from us doing our taxes. Plus we owe zip!! . So down',t answer. Or have fun. Give the phone to a baby. Or ask for a badge # . Yes they get one too. Best friends hubby was / is an agent.  IRS  workers get an I'd #. See gas fast they hang up. Save the # in your cell under ( not IRS Thiefs). Good luck..

I just received a call with the same as above can anyone tell me is it really a scam
