It's a scam. The IRS will not call you. They send letters via US Mail. The IRS won't ask you to pay in i-Tunes cards. The IRS will not wish you "good luck as the situation unfolds". Trust yourself and your instincts - do not let a bully intimidate you by threats that are nothing but hot air (and bad breath). This is a SCAM.
Do not answer calls you don't know and never call them back.

A robocall on my answering machine that claims to be from an IRS agent in Chicago. I checked all of the various IRS office numbers in Illinois and found nothing with an 888 number. Also, why an "IRS agent" in Chicago would be calling New York City is beyond me.
