Received a call from a, somewhat broken, animated voice. Almost unrecogizable message, but I could make out the end of the message, "...this is time sensitive, please call us before the IRS gets involved." Really? I have worked with the IRS before and they normally send you a letter, with a telephone number and extension, plus get this, a name! Needless to say, I will be contacting the Feds on Monday. These guys are straight out of a comic book.
I got a call from this number stating we are IRS. I am well aware that its a scam, so I called back and they asked what # I receive call on so I said this number I am calling from..... They hung up. I tried with my cell number and asked why u guys hanging up? They responded "WE DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU". I reported it to IRS.
I received a messaged from the same number almost an hour ago claiming they are "IRS Hotline" and before they take legal actions against my name, I need to contact them.I have no issues w/ IRS so i know it was a scam,I was curious so I dialed the number and when I did, a guy answered stating he didn't call anybody and hung up.
We did have a confusion with our taxes earlier this year which I cleared up in the spring; when I got this telephone call I became afraid that something had gone wrong yet again.
The person who answered the phone when I called said he was with a criminal investigation unit in his little intro speech. I said I had received a call and he asked me for my number. When I told him my number he said he hadn't called me, and we hung up. He did not sound surprised.
I do wonder what the purpose of this prank, or whatever it is, is. Is someone trying to give the criminal investigation unit a hard time? If so, it would make sense for the guy who answered the phone to say so.
