This number called me and claimed to be IRS, same as all the other posts as this thread state - That there were errors on my previous tax returns and that I paid more money than I should have. In order to get the $2174 refund I had to Western Union or Money Pak the $200 fee to process it since the error was mine, the IRS just caught it. When I expressed my skepticism and stated that the IRS doesn't accept Western Union the man (he had an Indian Accent) got agitated, said that he was doing me a favor and that he is going to close my account and then promptly hung up on me. I am very nervous as to how they got my information. Does anyone else know if they call this number back if there have been any consequences? Should I be worried that they have information such as my social security number etc?
Also, I forwarded the voicemail and phone number to
[email protected] - i encourage everyone else to do so.
