Got a pre-recorded call allegedly from the I.R.S. They wanted me to call 415-251-9813 immediately or they would have to start legal proceedings. I know that the IRS only contacts you by mail. The caller's syntax sounded like one of the usual scammers trying to get you to reveal ID data. I did not hear the beginning of the call so I do not know what name they used. This call came from Novato, CA and was probably from a burner cell phone.
Rec'd same type of call as Derf - I believe the caller was "officer Grey". Hard to hear the first 3-5 seconds. I paid my taxes. I am also under the impression the IRS only contacts by mail.
Total scam. Heather Grey was the person they ask you to contact. I called and let them have it. When I said I want proof they are the IRS he said we are the IRS. I said good when I call the 800 number for the federal IRS then they should have the same story. He said we are federal and the 800 number is the local IRS. I laughed and hung up.
