Got a call from this number twice told same message from a female voice. Told to not to discard this message IRS act now before we take action Google this number sand found this.
We received a call from this number. It was robotic female voice said she was Nicky Johnson from the IRS. Gave this same number to call and not ignore this message "before we take action against you". . First of all, the IRS doesn't call personally. They contact by mail. She stated it was important that we call back. The ended by saying "Take care and have a nice day". Come on. Since when did a business call that was letting you know there was legal action being taken against you end with a comment like that. Total Scam. This needs to stop......

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 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 just got a call from this number at 9:30 am this morning. A robotic female voice, saying the same things mentioned above, that it was the IRS and threatening legal action and for me to immediately return the phone call to Nikki Johnson, at the same number. (I wouldn't be surprised if there is a charge for the return call.). The caller ID comes up 'unknown name'.
I was pretty sure it was a scam because I had never received a letter from the IRS about a problem. Second, the caller ID would have said it was from the 'IRS' and not 'unknown' and third, it never stated by name the person they were supposedly looking for, and claiming action against. I immediately checked the number out online and found this site and comments. Definitely a scam as suspected. I wish our country could do more to stop these kind of predatory calls. I hope I am not plagued by more of these calls like some of the people above.
Thank you Tamianth for the links and information on what we can do about it.
