Got a message to call. Knew it was a scam bc of the robo call message but i called back just to see what they wanted. A man claimed to be an IRS officer with an Irish last name but heavy Indian or middle eastern accent said I violates some federal codes. I asked if this was for my personal income taxes. He replied yes but gave me address for my business. I asked him what's my name on my federal income filing account he couldn't tell me and finally said 'well I don't know. Sry', then hung up
Totally [***]. Was a robot prerecorded message saying they were calling avoid some federal offense and I need to call back to speak to a federal agent. Total scam, don't call back.
I actually was home and just received call from an " out of area" phone number and the gentleman spoke with a very deep voice and it sounded scary and eery. He said that he was from the IRS, his name was Kay Walker and after I asked, he gave me his identification number, and then said I owed taxes over $8800 for taxes between 2008 and 2015. He said that I could make payments of $2000 a year, but if I didn't do anything that I would be arrested and that my bank accounts would be frozen and that they would come to my house and arrest me and lock me up. I knew it was a scam but I played along and insisted he send it to me in writing so I could have my tax accountant review it all. He said they have too many people who are delinquent so they don't have the time to do this. Since my husband is the primary person on our taxes and he wasn't even part of this I knew something was wrong. So I'm not too worried about it. But glad to see that someone is taking the time to put this phone number into this place so I can add my comment on it. this was a really shady conversation. I didnt even make enough money on my own to warrant this much in discrepancies, esp since we pay more in our deductions and have always got a check back. Anyway, beware! They try to sound really scary.
