Received a call from this number and when I called back they answered IRS department. I had to keep from laughing. I said that it was odd because this was not the phone number on the IRS website. The "gentleman" responded "ok, how can I help you?". I then stated that I would really like to get a legitimate name because I was calling FBI Fraud Division to report this number and that I had recorded the conversation and would be turning it over to them. He told me to go ahead and do that and I thanked him for his permission. Lol! He then told me to have a good day and hung up. Gosh I love messing with these guys. The saddest part is they will find someone who will fall for their scam. They usually prey on immigrants, non-English speaking and the elderly. I hold phone companies partially responsible for these scams. They have to get a phone number initially from a provider. If carriers were held partially liable then there would be higher criteria to obtaining a phone number.
