We have gotten several calls from this number over the past week as well as one text from them. The text referred to tax help but we don't have any problems with our taxes and don't need help. Does anyone know who they are? They never leave a message when they call and we're scared to call back in case that only encourages more calls from them.
I got a text recently from (603) 319-4484 stating public records indicated that tax liability has been assessed, and you are at risk of potential collections by the IRS, and to call Jill @ (517) 252-8340. Today I got a call from the 517 number, and they did not leave a message. Further investigation has showed me this is a cell number. This is a scam. The IRS calls this "phishing" and the IRS has an email address you can send info like this to report it to them. If the IRS ever has a problem with you they contact you by mail. They don't call, and certainly don't text you. When in doubt call the IRS at (800) 829-1040.
