Got a call from three different numbers today, each with the same computer generated voice on my voicemail saying the same thing; to call the department back. I have blocked all three numbers. On this third number I tried actually calling back because I was so agitated and no one ever picked up. For reference, the two other numbers that called recently were from Iowa and Alabama and others that reported them said they were IRS scammers. I researched this and the IRS only notifies people via mail, not email or by phone. The other numbers were 205-499-3262 and 641-223-6007.
They called me too, I spent like half an hour with the person calling I just wanted to see how far they would go to collect the money that supposed I owe the I R S, he wanted me to buy gift cards then to call him back and give him the numbers on the card . After that told him that it was a bunch of bull**** and hanged up on him .
