Received the same message from guy with heavy accent. Told him that if he was a true IRS agent he would have provided me with agent ID number. Also, said that the IRS has not sent me any via mail as they normally do when contacting individuals. I told the caller that I have dealt with the IRS before and know the procedures.
Just got a call from a person with a heavy accent. Says his name is Coleman Agnes and he is with IRS. Said I had a major tax problem and I needed to call a James Anderson at 415 690 1277. This is a scam and I wish are government would shut these morons down. I'm sure they prey on possibly elderly people that just might believe their [***]. Please don't fall for this SCAM.
At the end I told the caller what he could do with his investigation.
Hope this is helpfull.
Just received a voicemail from this number asking for someone who's name sounded similar to a former married name so I knew right there something was up. Tried calling back to mess with them a bit figuring it to be a scam but they never answered. Same as others reported, telling me I have a big tax problem and to have myself or my tax attorney call them back.
I have dealt with the IRS myself and know how the operate, and this is certainly not how it is done.
