YUP just got the same call from a Brian Cruz with a heavy Fillipino accent claiming he is with the IRS (202) 241-3690 ----- BEWARE TOTAL SCAM --- JUST HANG UP. The IRS does not call they send mail correspondence if they need information.
The same guy left a long voicemail msg with the same callback number. Hints that it's a scam:
1) As you noted, the IRS doesn't phone. Paper documentation is central to any legal process.
2) Most Federal offices aren't open on Saturday.
someone calling with id officer heather left a msg for me to call her at the IRS...I tried calling many times...202 241-3690...latin music played for several minutes when I thought I had been placed on hold...when I was able to get a person on the line (20 tries later) a man with a thick Eastern Indian accent named "Danny Morris" asked me for the phone number I was calling from and told me that "Officer Heather" was not available and wanted to know what my lawyer's phone number was...I did call and report this to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Admin. 1-800-366-4484.
