A man, left a message on my answering machine stating that he was an officer with the IRS and that I needed to call him back immediately. I think he said his name was Mike. He never said the name of the person he was requesting to speak with or what it was regarding. He just said in a stern, strong, official sounding voice that he was from the IRS and that I needed to call him back immediately, and that I should not ignore his call.
This is clearly a scam; possibly a debt collector looking for someone who used to have my number. Or perhaps he is trying to steal peoples money by pretending to be an IRS officer, so people with give him their banking information and other personal information, etc. If the IRS wants to speak with you, they will send you a letter, which will include information that can be verified to ensure that it is really the IRS wanting to speak with you.
Hang up on this person; or better yet, do not pick up these calls. Report this jerk and his fraud scam to the IRS and Attorney General's Office.
