NEVER, EVER believe ANYTHING on these calls...especially automated ones. Do not give out any personal info, bank info, credit card info etc. Tell your children, your parents especially elderly parents and any seniors you may know to do the same! Don't be a victim!
Yep, I got a call today with a similar message as previously posted by others with a dire warning "do not disregard this message". Now I owe no body money and am in good stead with the IRS so I knew it was something fishy. Thank you everyone else who posted comments.
I got hit with one of these calls today too and it made me think for a second because I was having a hard time hearing the message and also I had just received a check from the IRS today. They are timing this scam along with when the letters would come in from the IRS because of the recent October 15th tax deadline for extension filing. If anyone finds these SCAMO's. Let me know and I will make them strip down and I will beat them with a computer power cord for wasting our time.
Why isn't IRS putting stop to this? Got a phone call telling my husband 2 IRS agents coming after our household same as you JAF and we owed money. What knuckleheads and hopefully the authorities/IRS will catch up with these scammers.
Most of these scammers are in Pakistan or some other country where scamming dumb Americans is not illegal. Their local police do not cooperate with the IRS or any US law enforcement. They cannot be caught.
