Received call as above saying from IRS in connection with tax audit and that they have previously attempted to contact me by mail but has been disregarded. The mail voice speaks good English unlike many other IRS scams and says must call them back and not attempt to disregard. Caller ID is Paul Mason IRS. States in call name is Michael Foster.
Got a call and message from this number with message of threats against me because recorded male voice states I did not respond to earlier request from IRS (laugh). Caller ID shows call from "Fred Hengst". Message very threatening and implies there will be serious consequences if I do not respond - by calling this number. Call is from DC - land of evil thugs.
This automated message keeps calling and stating it is the IRS. When I called back he answered the phone Officer Mike Foster of the IRS. I just hung up on him
Folks,
The IRS never calls you. They only mail notices. Their personnel are agents and not officers. Ask for badge numbers and if they are 4 or less numbers, they are a fraud.
