Received a recorded message stating they were the Internal Revenue Service to call back to avoid legal action

Said Officer Julie Smith of IRS and me or my attorney must return the call right away or there would be problems. Called back voice said person not available.  Of course it's BS, but I wanted the chance to curse them out

Glad you recognized it as a scam,  However, you have now verified that your phone number is "live", and that a real person will answer it.  Be prepared for lots more "entertaining" phone calls, as a result of your callback!

Called identifying herself as Julie Smith with the IRS.  Indicated that I needed to call back with my attorney present.  Called back and talked with John who asked for the name of my attorney.  Yes, another group of people without a conscience calling people in an attempt to scare them into accepting their SCAM.
