Officer Johnson left a message and said she was from the IRS: “The hotline to my position is 415-366-6646. Don’t disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Thank you and good-bye”. No accent, sounded like a robotic recording.
When I called back, a man with an Indian type of accent answered the phone. He asked why I was calling and I told him I was returning the call. He asked my name, to which I replied, “You called me. YOU tell ME what my name is”. He mumbled a name and I told him that wasn’t me.
I talked real slow trying to keep him on the phone longer, (1) because I was recording it and (2) so I could listen to what was going on in the background. It sounds like there’s some kind of filter so you can’t hear his voice clearly.
Anyway, when he realized that I was on to him, he told me F___ you. I replied, “Right back at you. I’ve got all I need”.
Received two calls on my cell phone from this number claiming to be the IRS and for me to contact them before they "take action". This has to be a scam. Why call me from California when the IRS has an office in Bridgeport, CT (I'm from New Haven)?
Same SCAM outfit as the other reports above. Two voice mails left for me on my cell, the first was Linda Johnson, who had a very thick Indian accent, saying that she is from the IRS and I need to call back. The second was a man's voice with same type of accent. I then called back a few days later using a different phone and a guy with an Indian accent answered saying they are the investigators for the IRS. I didn't even speak, as I just wanted to hear how they answered the phone. After I hung up, they called my cell phone again. Somehow they knew that I have called, and I have never spoke nor given any information at all. I don't know how, but they tied a land line phone from a different address to my cell #.
Calls from this number a phony calls a woman identifying herself as a representative of the IRS. The IRS will never call or e-mail you. They always write. Do not answer or respond to these calls.
