Yes... me too. IRS stated... funny thing is... I'm waiting on a huge refund from the IRS... ain't no way I owe the IRS.... they over taxed and I have a letter stating they are processing my refund. Real scam... recorded haltering speech message. The IRS will write you ... registered letter... the end.
Not IRS. Don't worry yourself. This is a scam. Read the other posts.
Total scam. Originates in either India or Pakistan. Block and ignore. DO NOT RETURN THE CALL!

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone. US mail only. IRS does not file lawsuits. IRS has enough administrative authority under the IRS Code and related regulations to collect all taxes lawfully due the federal government. Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter. But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters. 90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively. IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes. IRS has no powers of arrest as related to ordinary tax disputes. Having a deficiency in taxes owed by way of audit is NOT a crime. IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of money. IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone. IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case. No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments. Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement. All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals. All contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.

What A coincidence that I just finished a case with the IRS that has been cleared up and I get this call 3 days later.
A few seconds ago a Computerized message that was left on my phone was: Time sensitive from a officer Heather Grey with the IRS. The message refers to a hotline number of 310-307-2213 and repeats the number then warns "Do not disreguard this message and call back before they take action"
