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.
The call was a female voice recording from "Officer Heather Gray with the IRS." It was a "time sensitive" matter and I needed to call immediately so that legal action would not taken.
No caller ID sent, but gave the 202.... phone #. Same message, but in a computer generated voice. The tipoff was "we will take 'allegations' against you". Any calls I ever got from the IRS came after several letters.
how do we report receiving a phone message from 202-241-4007? (Caller ID read "Washington, DC). I can see how some elderly people might think this is legit. It makes me CRAZY that people would prey on others like this!! What losers! There has to be somewhere to report this scam to. Any ideas?
Just received an automated call from officer Heather Gray , retained attorney of record to return the call ,The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive, the hot line to my division is 202-241-4007 don't disregard this message and do call back before we take any legal actions against you...
