Expert Opinion

Oddly enough, the voicemail sounds almost like a real IRS notice, yet every detail screams a classic tax‑scam script. Callers claim to be from the IRS collections department, mention installment agreements, and demand a callback to a toll‑free number that never matches the agency’s official lines. Never share personal data or banking info with unsolicited callers. Hang up, look up the IRS phone number on the agency’s website, and call back yourself. Use your phone’s spam blocker or a third‑party call‑filtering app, and report the number to the FTC or the Treasury’s IRS scam page. Staying skeptical and verifying independently is the cheapest protection.
