Just got one from the same number at 4:45.
Said they were the IRS. I called back and a women with an Indian or Pakistani accent answered the phone. She asked me for my name and I said before I give any info I want to know who you are. She wouldn't tell me so it's a scam. The IRS would tell you immediately who they were. SCAM!

BEWARE! Its a scammer calling you!The IRS doesn't initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information. In addition, IRS does not threaten taxpayers with lawsuits, imprisonment or other enforcement action. Recognizing these telltale signs of a phishing or tax scam could save you from becoming a victim.
