Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.
Just like all the above, threats of tax fraud related arrest. With heavy accent, some people talking in the background in pashto language, which is strange for IRS, as pashto is spoken by some 50 million people in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is a scam for sure.
Just got 2 messages one at 10:15 and then at 11:55, recording from Officer Julie Smith. Did not call back-afraid they could charge stuff through my cell phone service-but looked this up instead thinking it's probably a scam and IRS will send certified letters before making phone calls.
Yep - we just received a couple of these calls. When we called the number back, some guy (on a very very bad connection) asked us for an i.d. number... which we didn't have of course. And when we asked who - by name - they were trying to get in contact with at our number, he hung up on us.
