Just got a call from  on my land line.  A automated message was left on my answering machine.  The message left
"you or your attorney of record must return this call. The issue at hand is extremely time sensitive. I am officer "Julie Smith" with the Internal Revenue Service.  And the hotline to my position is 3155198019 (I repeat).  Don't disregard this message and do return the call before we take any action against you. Goodbye and take care"

Do dis-re-guard the message - no one from the IRS would leave you a message with a "hotline" to a "position".    



 

Ooooh! Officer 'Julie Smith' has her own hotline. I wonder if it's a red phone in Commissioner Gordon's office.

I did get this message and my accountant told me it is indeed a scam call.  The process was strange and the person I called back to sure seemed to know a lot about me.  Don't know if I fouled up by returning the call or not.  The IRS never calls you.  Just remember that.

I received a call from this number stating they were calling from the IRS.

OMG, this guy scared me half to death - I just can't believe what I heard out of his mouth!  Really - where do these people get the idea that they are going to get away with this?  I need to stop this NOW - how do I get these guys arrested before they give some poor old lady (or man) a heart attack!
