Who called from 2025799434

I got a call from this number saying I needed to return the call to verify some information on my tax return. I haven't even filed my return yet. Any IRS number would be a 800 866 or 888 number so whats the deal?

I received a call regarding some money from my tax return   How do they know if I have a refund or not. They just want people info. And I haven't file my taxes yet.

Recieved a call regarding money from my tax return in the amount of $2,0073.00 but in order to have it deposited they wanted more personal information.... What the heck?

WARNING!!!  You see this number pop up on your caller ID or phone, DO NOT ANSWER IT.  Once you answer, they know that it is a real number of a real person.  I arrange immediately to block the number from further calls.  If it is the first time (they change numbers constantly), I pick up the receivier on the first ring and immediately hang it back up.  Do it two or three times in a row and they think they have reached a non-working number.

I do NOT understand how these scam artists can continue to get a phone number assigned to them.  Just my opinion, but something needs to be changed in the laws of applying for a phone number.

Last year I became victim to Identity Theft.  It was the IRS that caught it when someone filed a phony tax form using my name.  It has been a year from hell for me.  The IRS does not make calls or send emails asking for personal information.  They will communicate with you via postal mail only. IRS asks you inform them of these emails or calls by phoning 1-800-829-1040.  The FTC has an ID Theft Hotline.  Their number is 1-877-438-4338.

Received a phone call this morning that the IRS can increase the amount of my refund check if I verify some information to them.  Naturally I called the real IRS and they informed me that any increase in the refund check will be mailed to me not over the phone.  The IRS agent didn't recognize the phone number.
BE VERY CAREFUL EVERYONE.
