Who called from 2022417219

Scam. "Sean Williams" (my doesn't he sound more Indian than Irish?) of the "Dept. of legal affairs" (I'm already shaking in my boots !) calling about some vague legal issue and if I didn't call back I should have attorney call back.  Phone number is to YMAX COMMS CORP. DC. Anyone who does not identify their company or what they're calling about is clearly a scam.

I just got the same exact phone call.. Is this a scam? Because they said I owe 6,000.00 to the IRS. Really freaked me out

This is not a legitimate call from the IRS.

Thank you. What a relief to hear.. I will report this.

Great info from the IRS above. It sounded like a scam from the first word. Was searching on how to report it. Glad I came onto this info.
