I got the same call as everyone else. A voicemail saying there was a red flag and to call back immediately. Same reference number as everyone above. I just called the number back and the "IRS" rang twice and then said to leave a message, immediately following with "the mailbox is full". They must think people are pretty dumb.
I received an call from an unknown number to call 425-374-1349.
I found the following information on the IRS official website on scams:
Here’s what you should do if you think you’re the target of an IRS impersonation scam:
- If you actually do owe taxes, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. IRS workers can help you with a payment issue.
- If you know you don’t owe taxes or do not immediately believe that you do, you can report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484.
- If you’ve been targeted by any scam, be sure to contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of your complaint.
