This is a fresh scam. Received a voicemail from someone using AT&T TrueVoice using an American female voice asking for me to call back regarding a debt owed on back taxes to the IRS. Looked up the information traced back to the #, and came up with a latitude / longitude location that has no valid reference to the IRS HQ. Called the number, detected an abnormally long pause and drop in the rings, and then a sluggish individual on the other end with a foreign accent misidentified their location. Advised them I was contacting my state AG's office immediately regarding the matter.
IRS never gives direct dial phone numbers unless an agent hands you their business card (which is very rare unless you have received formal audit notice in the mail & you have reported directly to your local agent to respond to the request). This is a fresh scam.
I have received two phone calls (caller ID says Washington, DC) from this number in the last two days. It says that he is from the IRS and there was a problem with my income taxes. On the 2nd call, I spoke with a male with a heavy accent and asked me to call back and ask for him on that same number. I called back about 15 minutes later, and it was busy. I then checked online for more information on this number (202-241-4007) and found this website. Unbelievable.
Received this call approximately 12:00 p.m. today. Said 'out of area' so I did not answer. Got the same stupid, garbled msg as everyone else. Worried, now, that someone has stolen my identity as well as trying to 'scam a lie'. I pray these lazy creeps get a job like the rest of us have to do. Would rather they serve time first. CREEPS!!! I am a handicapped sr, just buried the 3rd of 4 children from accidents and don't need creeps like this~
