I received the same call from the same number. The caller has a really thick accent that I cannot really tell the name: maybe xx Smith. After seeing all the posts, I do believe that this is a scam. Thanks for all the posts!

I just received a call from a person with an Indian accent, identified himself as a Mr. Alex Martin from IRS. He told me that there is a deficiency in income tax and to call Dexter Cruz, an investigating officer, at 607-218-4768 for details. I asked for his badge number, he gave me 7590493. I called this number, get a message...cannot complete your call, please try again.
I think this is a scam. He didn't ask for information.

Received same call from 607-241-2857 identifying himself as Gary Foster with Indian accent. Asked me to call the same number 607-241-2857 to talk to investigator Adam Spencer. Called, didn't reached anyone but voice mail greeting with same Indian accent. Believe it's scam.
