I was contacted this morning by a person representing himself as an employee of the IRS. He stated that a complaint had been filed against me to the IRS. He wanted to know if my local police agency had been to my house this morning, questioning me about the complaint. As we have no police department at my address, and I so stated, the person questioned me as to what police coverage we had. As we only have a Sheriff department covering the county, we do not have police coverage. This person wanted to know if there was a Texas Police Department covering my town. I figured I had a scammer and tried to keep him talking while I got pen and paper to write down about the incident. However, my phone (a wireless handset) died and I lost the connection. After I wrote down about the incident, I called the number back. I got the same place and they (officer William Smith, officer of the IRS) wanted to continue the questioning. Again, my phone died.

The phone number is allocated through YMAX Communication Corp., Washington, D. C.
