We received two call from this number today. First was an East Indian woman, asking to speak to me. Funny thing is, she called my wife's phone, not mine. She claimed she was from the IRS, and needed t speak to me regarding an urgent IRS matter. My wife interrogated her, and she hung in. Even after she asked the woman for her IRS badge number. We work with the IRS on a frequent basis, and knew righ away this was a scam. They send you letters in the mail. They don't call you unless you request a call back from the RO. An RO has to be assigned to your case for that to happen, and you know who your RO is. Anyway, as soon as I told her "you're not with the IRS", she hung up. A couple of hours later we get a call from the same number. This time it was an Indian man. As soon as my wife started asking him specific questions, that the IRS would knwo the answers to, he started using profanity and huing up. Then I called their number back. The same guy answered. I told him I was with the IRS. He got super angry, and started using profanity. I told him I was reporting his number, and he got even angrier. Then he hung up the phone. Too funny.
THIS IS A SCAM!!! Some agency needs to get involved. These people are finding victims who fall into the sceme, and are being taken for thousands of dollars. We have his number. The owner answers the phone in the same voice and accent as the caller. It seems it shuold be fairly easy to find these people, and arrest them.
