Caller ID came up a "PRIVATE". Answered and the caller did not identify himself. (me)"Hello?" (Him) "I'd like to speak to whoever is handling the estate of <insert name>." I Did not give him any information. He sounded official - older - said, "sorry for the trouble", and hung up. Not like a telemarketer. Tried to call the number back and it did not work.
aNSWER THE PHONE AND THEY CLAIMED TO BE IRS!! WANTED THE LAST 6 NUMBERS OF MY SS#.called number back and automated message says number not in service. Jerks!! with fax number 855240217
This is a dummy number from the IRS. It is real and they are real. They call only to resolve an issue you probably instigated by sending a 1040x or other correspondence and we leave messages. I work at the IRS. Its a real number.
