Caller claimed to be an investigative agent with the IRS when they asked for my name I stated that if they were the IRS calling me that they should have my name. The "agent" then hung up on me.
This number has called me numerous time today. they left several voicemails saying they were going to take action against me. when I returned the call, an Indian gentleman told me he was from the IRS but he could not give me my name. I hung up on him and reported the number to the IRS.
I received a phone call today 10/29/14. Julie Smith from IRS do not disregard this message...blah, blah. I returned the call but no one answered. Watch out for scammers out there.
There are several calls claiming IRS. They need your bank account & credit card number to pay the dues to IRS.
How the FTC is allowing this types scams.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
I received 2 automated messages saying that they were with the IRS and that I shouldn't disregard the message and I should call back before they "took action" on me. SCAM.
