I also got this call on our voice mail in Austin Texas. Please continue reporting this, as it is an obvious scam/inappropriate call and we all want to be sure that no person is taken in by this -- especially someone vulnerable or elderly.
Does anyone know who or how one reports something like this?
This is the e-mail that I sent to the IRS in reference to my voice mail that I received:
To whom it may concern:
Today, at 11:43 eastern time I received a phone call from a person claiming to be an "officer" from the IRS. The "officer" stated that I need to contact him back or have my attorney call him back "or else." The "officer" name was Adam George and was very threatening in nature saying if I did not return the call or have me attorney return the call the "situation will unfold on me."
I have checked and can not find much information on your website in relation to bogus phone calls. I did find this e-mail address to report things like this. The "officer" had a very strong accent that I do not recognize and also referred to himself as "officer."
In the event that anybody at the IRS is attempting to contact me, do let me know. I would assume that the contact would be of a better nature than this "officer" exhibited on my voicemail. Being a police officer myself, I do not scare easy and will report this to the local media so that others may be aware of it and not fall into a trap of a possible scam if this is what is being portrayed.
I got the same call / pre-recorded message. This is of course NOT a call from the IRS, they do not make calls like this and this phone number is NOT an IRS number. This is a poorly done SCAM, but I am afraid it will fool some people, which is why I am putting this message here! Do NOT call this number (315-508-3160) This is almost certainly somebody phishing for info and a SCAMMER!!!
I got call a phone call (a pre-recorded message) which asked me to call this number and claimed to be from the IRS. This is of course NOT a call from the IRS, this phone number is NOT an IRS number. See what others have written about this phone number. This is a poorly done SCAM, but I am afraid it will fool some people, which is why I am putting this message here! Do NOT call this number (315-508-3160) This is almost certainly somebody phishing for info and a SCAMMER!!!
