Got several calls in the past 5 days at 0830 to 0845 in the morning was able to get to two of them, very difficult to understand. Someone from India I think...................not the IRS. Thanks for helping me get the message. SCAM...............................!!
Got the message: "Hey I'm calling you from the legal affairs at the US Department of treasury. That is Internal Revenue Service. We were trying to reach you in regards to a very important issues and spots months and months. We have a legal affidavit concerning a text called on your name. The hotline to reach-you(?) to reach us at is area code 202-779-9188. I repeat it's 202-779-9188. Don't disregard this message. And do return the call. If for any reason you're busy to call us back. We would suggest you do have your retained attorney to do it for you. Delay in calling us back. I got up into a legal message for you of-we(?) will be forced to contact the local authorities and ready-for(?) this case against your name. So hope that you just-to(?) find this matter(?) as quick as possible. Thank you."
I called IRS all over and they don't provide a phone response system to say whether this is a legal call or a scam. I called the number back twice and got a busy signal. I suspect this is a scam. Why didn't this notification come in a letter.
One Google comment said it was not the IRS but someone trying to get personal info. I will drop it here!
