The automated call from 415-234-9647 smelled like poo from the start but decided to do a reverse search and landed here. Never called back but I will be reporting this to the IRS. Its a shame that this number is up and running for this long!
This number left voicemails saying from IRS. Advised not to ignore message and call back immediately. I had to call 3 times to get someone I could understand however I did pick up they were saying I had a large outstanding debt with the IRS. I do not have any outstanding debt issues with the IRS. On the third call the man answering stated he was a supervisor and when I asked him to identify himself and his organization he hung up on me. I have reported this to my phone carrier.
There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.

I got several calls from this number and another number stating they are the IRS. I don't have any problems with the IRS. Th IRS would never call and leave a message and I got several calls today whic is Saturday,the I R S is not in on weekends. These calls came from DC and San Francisco.
Four calls so far today. Claiming they were from the IRS. I have no problems and knew it was a scam. I just want them to stop calling. The IRS does not call. They send mail.
