Who called from 2029042866

Just received an automated voice recording saying it is the IRS. They gave a case number starting with CSN, and to consider this the second and final attempt of them trying to contact me.

received the same call, the voicemall message references a magistrate so the scammer must be outside the us

same message from 8/19/16 above...but when I asked them to tell me my middle initial they hung up

They claim that this is their second attempt to contact you about a criminal charge to appear before a judge or magistrate. When you call the guy does not have the correct information, so he hangs up. When you try calling back he hangs up again. If this was legit, they would have sent something in the mail.

Received the same type of threatening call this morning. Was told not to ignore the message and to call back with Case # before I would need to appear before a judge or magistrate for a federal criminal offense. Called the number back, someone with heavy accent answered (with a lot of background noise). Hung up and reported the scam to IRS. The real IRS would communicate in writing.
