Same IRS SCAM threatening call recipient as others have noted. I do wish the landline and cell service vendors would exert effort to do what they can to ID the thugs responsible for these crimes targeted to old adults and others. We all need to continue to report these scams to FTC AND TREASURY DEPT on-line complaint sites.
"This is Officer Heather Gray from the Internal Revenue Service please call 951-552-7703 immediately. Do not disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you goodbye and take care.". received 9/9/2016

Don’t panic. And don’t return the call. It’s a scam.
Here are a few facts about the IRS to keep in mind if you get a similar call:
If the IRS needs to contact you, they’ll do it by mail first.
The IRS won’t demand personal information like credit card or Social Security numbers over the phone.
The IRS won’t threaten to arrest or sue you, or demand that you pay right away. The IRS also won’t tell you to use a specific form of payment like a money transfer from MoneyGram or Western Union, a cash reload from MoneyPak or Reloadit, or a gift card from iTunes or Amazon. Scammers ask you to use those ways to pay because they’re hard to track or cancel payments.
If you or someone you know receives a call like this, report it the FTC and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). Include the caller’s phone number, along with any details you have. If you’re not sure whether a call is really from the IRS, you can double-check by calling the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040.

Stupid robot call claiming to be Officer Heather Gray from the IRS. The quality of the robot voice is really bad. Why would anyone believe this is true?
