Scam.

Wait til you get a letter or not before worrying in the least.

I always thought that the IRS communicated mainly by mail.Perhaps a visit to the nearest IRS office might be in order.

Just my 2 cents' worth.

My understanding is they always send a letter. The call number is likely a scam and should be reported.

I did a reverse directory search on the number and the commentators on the site all say it’s a scam and not to call back. Sounds right to me.

The next time you get a suspicious call like that, just enter the telephone number into a search engine. There are a number of sites that will tell you what it is. If it’s a scam, you won’t be the first and there will be comments.

They make contact via mail or showing up at your door.

DO NOT CALL BACK. As a guy who just went through a big ordeal with the IRS, I know that they don’t operate that way. As an aside, the IRS lackeys I dealt with were always very nice and professional. Except for the corrupt leadership, I give the organization high marks.

The IRS would never call. They would send a nasty letter.

And anybody can spoof a 202 area code.

Here’s one offering a government grant of $9,000; I told them it was a scam and to get lost. I still had the number on my phone so looked it up:

Same MO as others who responded.
