A male recorded voice - heavy accent - threatening - says he is Bryant Jackson with the IRS criminal investigations dept. and that my property is under investigation. If I do not call, the fault is mine.
Someone left a message on my phone claiming to be Brian Jackson from the IRS that they got a complain about me and my address is under federal investigation , the person said I should call back this # 607-767-7109 and if I don't the consequence will be mine ! Is this a scam ?

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.
