Picture a voicemail that threatens legal action unless you call back immediately. The message claims to be from the Internal Revenue Service, mentions an "Officer Heather Gray," and urges you to dial a private number to avoid alleged lawsuits. This is a classic IRS impersonation scam that uses legal threats to create panic. Do not return the call or provide personal data. Hang up, block the number, and verify any tax issues by logging into the official IRS website or calling the official IRS number. Report the incident to the FTC and consider filing a complaint with the FCC.
The IRS give's us some clue's to know when a caller is fake, they will never do this five thing's, it's a scam if they do.
This is the well-known IRS scam; the best course of action is to block the number and ignore it, as advised by the real IRS and reported in news media.
Identified this number as a SCAM, the IRS doesnt make calls, they use the US Post office
Upon playing back the recording, it claimed to be from the Internal Revenue Service, stating the matter was extremely urgent and requesting a callback to speak with Officer Heather Gray immediately after the message ended.
I listened to recording on phone, its from Internal Revenue Service, they say its urgent, but its probably a scam, they want me to call back and talk to Officer Heather Gray.
A voicemail from this number instructed me to contact a specific officer regarding an IRS matter, but the request seemed suspicious.
Same thing happened to me, they left a message saying it was the IRS, and I should call back ASAP or they'll take legal actions against me.
Left a message claiming to be the IRS, saying i should call back as soon as posible to avoid legal actions towards me.
I was threatened with legal consequences if I didn't return their call, which claimed to be regarding a matter involving my name.
