I received a phone call from a "Julie Smith" claiming to have a very important matter & blah blah blah!!!! I knew something was wrong the second the message started to play!! I called the number back & a magic jack phone commercial played followed by the number you called is not taking calls immediately I knew my assumptions of this being a scam was correct!!
They do not get very creative- Agent Julie Smith from IRS was the automated recording. The second time you call the hotline number 202-241-7351, a person with a thick accent picks up. He will ask you if you want him to read an affidavit to you for the charges against you. They will also produce a bogus case number. They may put you on hold once or twice. He will threaten you that a sheriff will come to your door tonight and serve a warrant...Then he will offer togelp you-SCAM. Do not give them any more information about you.
When I asked for a local IRS office, they said I could not go in because local offices were just notified. At each turn, they may try to steer you to ask them to handle it with them on the phone, but will not produce anything traceable.
SCAM.
